Gilbert Velasquez, born in Seguin, TX and raised in San Antonio, TX. President of â€œVelasquez Productions Inc.â€ in San Antonio TX, has been a part of â€œTejano Musicâ€ since the mid â€˜70â€™s. He began performing as a guitarist in the early 70's and finally jointed â€œThe Royal Jestersâ€ in 1974 recording the album â€œThe Bandâ€. 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 â€œPeopleâ€ finishing the â€˜70â€™s with this popular group at that time. In 1980 he was asked to join the â€œLatin Breedâ€ and thus began his quarter century affiliation with this legendary band. In the â€™80â€™s Gilbert worked closely with the newborn TTMA to begin what we know today as the â€œTejano Music Awardsâ€. 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.
