Artist History A Glimpse of the ArtistEli Vocasio, vocalist and author of these songs , gives life to a new kind of musical enjoyment. In collaboration with other musicians, he has brought a new feel to the world of Latin music by combining the sounds of Puerto Rico and New York City. Eli describes his style as "Salsa-Funk-Latin-Soul." Stirring lyrics resonate with smooth melodies and rhythms to produce songs describing the artist himself:an Artist of the soul and the heart.Born an Aquarian (February 10), Eli embraces life with hearty optimism, believing that anything less shrinks the soul and makes us small.He is an affectionate and sensitive man who opens himself to everyone,and pays the inevitable price for doing so, for to love is to be vulnerable.Yes, but to refuse to love is to guarantee the greater pain of isolation. The careful listener will hear in Eli's music a deep longing to connect withLife-to make a difference in people's hearts-to share the adventure of being human.Eli knew at the age of 12 that he wanted to be a singer. He decided then that music would be his life-whether or not it ever became his living.His earliest lyrics, "Don't Say Love (unless you mean it )" and "Tonight's the Night" already foretold a talent completely sincere, dedicated to the pure joy of loving the world with a song.Every life is composed of happiness and sorrow-and everything that lies in between. As you listen to Eli's music, you will hear something of the breadth of human experience-and realize more than ever before what a treasure it is.
