“I was so eager and honored to work with one of the greats and it was such a pleasure to record for him,” said Lia G. “This song turned out so pretty and it was because of his talent in being the arranger and producer. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did recording it.”
As a little girl, one of Lia’s big hero and inspiration was the late Latin music icon,Selena, as she began performing songs from the “Queen of Cumbia” as a little girl in Los Angeles, California. She studied dance and music along with many years of vocal lessons. She recorded songs as part of a very special project forChildren Uniting Nations, a non-profit that is dedicated to reshaping the lives of at-risk and foster youth through positive mentoring and academic advocacy.
