Vonnell
Born in Havana, Cuba the young singer/songwriter—or “musical story teller” as some will call him—has been rising more and more with every passing day with each new song. Having grown up in a melting pot such as sunny Miami, Florida, from a young age he has been exposed to rich, diverse sounds ranging from jazz to pop to Cuban jazz, Brazilian, classical and more.
With his debut album 31 de Febrero, in 2006, Vonnell, the multi-instrumentalist, multi-lingual artist was an American Idol Underground 1st place winner in the BIG PUSH WORLD category with the song Y después... song which, as well as the breakthrough concept and catchy hit, Cara the Caramelo rose quickly to the top of California, New York, Puerto Rico and Italy's Record Pool. He also rocked the house in 2006’s LA Music Awards winning Latin Male Vocalist of the Year with the first class ballad Noche Escondida, Latin Album of the year 31 de Febrero, Latin Artist of the Year and World category Artist of the Year . He received a nomination for Song of the Year for: Luna. He was part of Miami’s Trova Libre’s Hit Parade for Most Requested song of 2006 with Noche Escondida. He was part of Toronto Independent Music Awards and nomination Best USA song with Cara de Caramelo.
On the other side of the Atlantic, he made his voice hear as well in Canary Islands International Song Contest, winning Honorary Nomination for Best original Romantic or Ballad song Noche Escondida, Best Male Singer, Best Original Pop, Rock or Latin Song Y después..., Special Diploma Award for best Singer/Interpretation in Y después...
In 2007, Vonnell is quickly continuing to move along, still at the top of the charts in record pools throughout, in January and February. He recently finished producing Noche Escondida’s house remix which will be launched.
iThere is no doubt that Vonnell and his band Dreambox are true talent that are here to stay. It is no wonder they are in Rio de Janeiro recording their second CD that will leave all their fans at a loss of words housed with many surprises......
