It is said that Juaquin is the next Tejano Teen sensation!

As of 2008, Juaquin has released a single every year which can be heard via radio and internet airwaves both nationally and internationally branching Tejano out of the Texas norm. Juaquin made #1 in Arizona at “Radio Tejano 1600 FM KXEW” and #6 on Countdown USA with Ben Gonzales in 2008 at the young age of 14. Today, in 2011, he is at #6 at “Tejanisimo.tk in León Guanajuato, Mexico“. DJ’s and Promoters, such as Nick Hernandez out of West Texas call Juaquin the next “Voz”. Juaquin has already headlined various fiesta’s and nightclubs such as the Mexican Fiesta in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 2010 and the Willowbrook Ballroom, Chicago, Illinois, in 2009. He continues to participate and donate his time to the Tejano Music Awards Fan Fair and the Tejano Music Convention, giving back to his fans and supporters. It is not only his dream, but his goal, to complete a sound album by the end of 2011.

In 2010, at the age of 16, he made the top 6 nominees for the 29th Annual Tejano Music Awards for “Best New Male Artist” which makes him the youngest Artist to have received such an achievement. Another highlight of his musical career was being invited on stage by Adalbeto Gallegos with the legendary Latin Breed.

In addition, Juaquin is highly respected in the Tejano Music Industry by fellow musicians. Already making waves, see what the late Tony "Ham" Guerrero, had to say about the boys:

Tony Ham Guerrero Aug 31, 2009 - 1:44AM QuoteRepy A Brand New Bag! "We at Tortilla Records feel that Los Curitas are for real and we love what they are bringing to the table......Now with all the new changes happening.......Los Curitas have a new style all of their own...and personally I like them because they are bringing class and elegance to our genre which has been missing it for a long time...........along-side being very good and promising young musicians. Hey Guys.................Tortilla Loves You!"

Currently, at LC-3 Records, we are looking to produce and effectively promote Juaquin’s first album. His fan base has been enormous and his previous releases and merchandise have sold successfully. He has been sponsored by Men’s Warehouse and has inspired teen Conjunto bands such as El Vision out of Colorado. We at JTTJ Entertainment are confident that Juaquin will be a trailblazer in the Tejano industry bringing it back to the forefront with our younger generation while maintaining the current market!
