Great career of New Yorker Arlene Gonzalez

How her career got started

The family is the fundamental pillar for every human being and decisive for the path of any individual will take in life. A great example of this is Arlene Gonzalez, whose home training has played a key role in the beginning and continuation of her career as a bilingual musician and composer. This New Yorker of Puerto Rican and Ecuadorian ancestry began making a name for herself once she left her homeland and moved to the south of Florida in search of new professional and personal opportunities. 

After moving to her new home, she started a brilliant musical career from the hand of performances and tours in which she always showed the innate talent which has accompanied her in each of her shows. One of her most important collaborations was done with the famous producer and Grammy winner Jon FX. 

One of the reasons why Arlene is best known in the music industry is her great talent as a composer, so she does not need the support or collaboration with anyone else at the time of writing all her works. This is what gave her the push he needed to create her own label Platinum G. Records, so she has not required the support of a record label which in the long run would only limit her as an artist and as a person. 

Achievements and current affairs

This talented American of Latino descent has worked with a large amount of television networks with respect to promotion and presentation of shows that help the emergence of up-and-coming artists in many cities across the country. Likewise, his music is increasingly present in important radio stations as in the case of Wepa FM in Florida or 94.5 FM in New York. 

She has managed to tour in many countries throughout Latin America thanks to his efforts to achieve a prestigious place in the industry. His salsa song Vete became very successful in nightclubs throughout several cities in Panama and a large part of North America, where his music was welcomed with open arms. 

For this year, she will be throwing a tour of Jamaica on a cruise ship in which she will sing her entire repertoire and delight the present ones with hits like Boy toy, Quiero bailar, Illusion, Boriqua somos, and so on. It will be a great opportunity for the artist to improve its visibility with those who have not been able to enjoy her great talent every time she performs any of her incredible songs. 

At this point, she is writing new songs for her latest album, whose predominant genre will be salsa and main single will be the song Tendrán que respetar, which has been a creation of the talented composer José Luis Pagan, who has trusted in the talent of González to try rhythming and become a real piece of work. In addition, the single already has its own videoclip and arrangements made by the famous maestro Oscar Hernandez.   

In contrast to her career as a singer, the New Yorker is about to launch a line of lipstick, demonstrating that she is quite a very skilled entrepreneur in the cosmetics industry. 

This promising figure of music has given a lot to talk about from the beginning, and no mistake, that will continue to do so as long as she enjoyed sucess and delighted everyone with good music as usual.
