Velasquez states, “It is time for Tex-Mex artists to take their place in the American music scene. We have a lot to offer the world of American music and I think Roger V and the LLZ’s Showtime! is an excellent example of what we bring to the table.”
The critically-acclaimed album was recorded and mixed at Blue Cat Recording Studio in San Antonio, Texas, engineered by five-time Grammy Award winner Joe Trevino and mastered by Kurt Wipfli of Wiptrax Studio.
Velasquez appears in the Billboard magazine 2022 Grammy Preview issue released on October 23, with his album Roger V and the LLZ’s Showtime! featured in the issue.
