Gilbert Velasquez, born in Seguin, TX and raised in San Antonio, TX. President of “Velasquez Productions Inc.” in San Antonio TX, has been a part of “Tejano Music” since the mid ‘70’s. He began performing as a guitarist in the early 70's and finally jointed “The Royal Jesters” in 1974 recording the album “The Band”. Later from 1976 to 1979 Gilbert toured Europe, the Far East and beyond with a band called SugarJammer, bringing tejano music to thousands of our military troops overseas. After returning to San Antonio again in 1979 Gilbert joined the David Marez band “People” finishing the ‘70’s with this popular group at that time. In 1980 he was asked to join the “Latin Breed” and thus began his quarter century affiliation with this legendary band. In the ’80’s Gilbert worked closely with the newborn TTMA to begin what we know today as the “Tejano Music Awards”. Anyone in the business today will recognize Gilbert as part of the force in the production of this event. His input ranged from writing rhythm charts for a multitude of artists who performed at this show during those years, to working as a house engineer and a mixing engineer on live recording dates.
