Sisters Elsa and Margarita Guzman go by the stage name "Las Mil Amores"

Elsa and Margarita Guzman make up the regional mexican duo "Las Mil Amores". Born to Mexican parents from Michoacan Mexico. These ladies grew up in East Los Angeles Ca, and are no strangers to the music industry. Their Regional Mexican/Pop "Spanglish" style of music focuses lyrically on the fun part of life and empowerment of women.

The duo began working together when Elsa (the eldest of the two) approached her sister Maggie about her dream and thus the journey began. These talented ladies are versatile as they produce, write and create their sense of style themselves.They are both choreographers,both sisters graduated from Cal State Dominguez hills and majored in Sociology. Not only do they both share a dream in music but they are buisness partners and and own a party coordination business. Elsa has performed in school chorus lines since the age of 5. Maggie was also a cheerleader in High School. Both sisters loved entertainment since a young age, both sisters grew up in the party crew scene and loved dancing and enjoyed participating in dance battles with other party crews as teenagers.

These girls complement each other like peanut butter and jelly, their strong love for each other is undeniable. Both sisters attended and graduated from James A. Garfield High School in East Los Angeles sadly both sisters experienced bullying in High School and had to switch schools.They are both influenced by the passion and love they have for music. Though sisters, each one had different childhood experiences. Elsa had to deal with overcoming a few challenges as she experienced abuse at a young age, well into her teens and then found herself in an abusive relationship as an adult. She then began putting her emotions on paper, which opened an avenue to escape her pain. One of the songs on the album titled "Yo Quiero Volar" (I Want To Fly)  speaks on the abuse she encountered and how she was set free.

Maggie is motivated by the adrenaline rush she gets each time her music touches someone else. She describes herself as a go lucky happy individual who enjoys life. As a teenager she enjoyed dressing up and wearing heavy makeup, which got her stereotyped as being a "Party Girl." The both girls were victims of bulling Elsa through out her life even as an adult and Maggie in high school. Both sisters didn't fight back and dropped their "high school" dreams so as adults that experience of giving up and letting their bullies win reflected on them both so each time they feel like giving up they remind themselves of those two teenagers that let their bullies win so they shrug it off and keep going.

In 2010 Las Mil Amores released a single titled  "Noche de Party", a song that  Elsa says was inspired by her sister  Maggie. It became a MySpace sensation within the underground party scene in no time. This song had over 400 downloads in two days and they began getting a buzz within the Los Angeles community. They followed the single with a video that was also posted on YouTube with a great response and then a second video followed for a song called  "Damas de Pura Calidad "  (Ladies of Pure Quality) which received many views and shares on social media.

Las Mil Amores faced a lot of rejections from  industry individuals in the past when they were trying to showcase their music, but they want to get the message across to others pursuing their dreams  "Do not pay mind to what people think but follow your passion and you will succeed!." They have also recorded music strictly for the empowerment of women their singles "Cuentos de Color de Rosa" "Billetes Y Oro" "Mi Secreto" "Al Estilo Barbie Mexicana" "BAD PERRAS" and "AMIGAS FALSAS." Even though their music appeals to everyone it identifies closely to women. These young ladies' goal is to be recognized not only by the underground scene but also by the rest of the world.
