About Us


Born in a musical family, Victoria, Alexia, & Emmanuel Velazquez
were singing before they could talk. With a father who is a member of
Opera Ebony, the oldest surviving black opera company in America,
and mother who was a R&B recording artist, singing came naturally
to Velazquez kids as walking did other children. Now, at the ages of
16, 14, & 12, the children with their dad - Victor, are ready for what
GOD has destined.
