**About the Artists**
Award-winning Tejano singer Jay Perez is known by his fans as "The Voice," the purveyor of a warm, honeyed, multi-octave baritone. His recordings exist in a slipstream between vintage Tejano and conjunto, country music, and smooth soul. (His readings of Billy Paul's "Me & Mrs. Jones" and a lovers rock reggae read of Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On" set a standard by which other singers are still judged.) After stints with the Latin Breed and David Lee Garza during the late '80s and early '90s, he hit the charts in 1994 as a solo artist with Steel Rain, his second album for Sony Discos. In Tejano, Perez owned the final decade of the last century. Between 1994 and 1996 he hit the Top Latin Songs charts five times with his singles including "Ven a Mi," and "Lo Que Yo Tengo." His albums from the era, including 1995's The Voice and 1998's Toda Mi Vida traveled to the upper rungs of the Latin and Mexican Regional charts. Perez's success continued in the aughts: he won Male Vocalist of the Year seven times between 2000 and 2008. He won again in 2010, and that year took home the coveted Male Vocalist of the Decade Award. Perez continues to tour and record, always remaining accessible to fans. In 2016 his Un Amigo Tendras placed inside the Top 20 and was nominated for a Latin Grammy Award -- his third nomination.
Monica Saldivar is a rising star in Tejano music. The singer from Grand Prairie, Texas won Tejano Idol in 2015 releasing her self-titled debut album a few short years later in 2019. That album earned Top New Female Artist at the My Tejano Awards in 2019 and a win as Best New Female Artist at the Tejano Music Awards a year later.
