Eric Lee Villarreal, son of Lee Villarreal of Los Desperadoz and the group’s lead singer, announced exclusively to Tejano Nation contributor DJ Peaches about his desire for a solo career and his ventures for 2021.
He is the third generation of Villarreal musicians, who officially joined Los Desperadoz on February 14, 2018. The date he recalls when his dad told him to make the announcement he was a part of the family legacy. Joining the band wasn’t a given because he was a Villarreal. Eric Lee revealed that he was nervous to sing in front of his dad, not because of criticism but knowing that his dad was very influential in the Tejano genre.
In 2017, Eric Lee took on the lead vocals for the classic single “No Volvere.” A black and white video showcasing the Latin Grammy-nominated group in the studio. The video has over 66 K views on YouTube, making it a classic, stand the test of time single.
