Success is the word appropriate to characterize the artistic career of Eduardo Verástegui, the elegant Mexican who even took the breath away of Jennifer Lopez (in the famous video-clip ""Ain't it Funny"")

All the hard work is not done for nothing. Today's solo-singer talked about his career starting 9 years ago with the former band ""Kairo"". Back then he was in El Salvador for the first time. Since that time Eduardo was dedicated to pursue modelling and acting.

A short talk with Eduardo showed him very easy going, a warm and kind personality, and accessible.

He not at all the presumed inaccessible

Calvin Klein model, seen everywhere on all the billboards of the big cities worldwide.

Instead he's very easy accessible , a humble young man with a bright future ahead of him. He is conscious of the fact his moment of today’s huge glory could be fading in the future.

He fully realizes he is entered into a world of stiff competition, which the music industry certainly is. More specific the pop-music, where he now stars as singer. Despite the fact of the stiff competition, he's not pretending to be the exclusive icon of the pop music.

""My wish is to pursue the work I enjoy most, which is a musical career as well as a parallel acting one. I put forward the best of myself in every project, I put forward into it all my feelings, with all my heart, all my efforts and dedication are put into it without knowing what final result my efforts will have on the end result."" Eduardo explained.

HOWEVER..

However..These are not at all the results of the final stages of Eduardo his career, it's totally the opposite, it's to be revealed to you that the response of both the producers and the audience are continuing to be very very positive.

His first album, with the title '"Eduardo Verástegui, was launched simultaneously in 19 countries, an achievement Eduardo never would have been able to conceive.

""I was thinking just to start the launch of the CD in Mexico, and to wait for the results there. And then from there to continue our promotion and to see where to continue the campaign next. The debut album -always the most difficult one to promote- would be hard to simultaneously promote in all those countries, at least according to me"" the Mexican told.

Reminding of?

With various themes, rousing ballads, a mix of rhythms, Eduardo launched his conquest of Latin America all with his own voice.

The actor of the hit-series Soñadoras (Dreamers) commented: ""Everybody could feel emotions hearing this music, because the themes are very free emotional expressions. In the artistic world you cannot control the emotions.... This CD has no similarities with Kairo whatsoever (this style of music), there are no similarities, not in music, not in style, it's an unique and new artwork, totally new and never shown before""

The CD kicks off with the first song ""Yo no Se Perder"", the same hit was taped by the singer to be used for the video of the press packet release. Taped in the studios of the famous Estéfano in the city of Miami, USA.

The rest of the CD contains hits like "Tequila", "Suave", "Estoy aquí por ti", "Vivo la locura", "Luces de la ciudad", "A partir de hoy", "Por ti", "Baila" and "Por falta de tu amor".

Always grateful

Eduardo is one of the artist who, despite the fame, still staying humble. As always he expresses his gratitude for the opportunities given to him everyday.

""It's a career in which one should continue to be grateful, you are entitled to express your gratitude to God, your gratitude with life, the fans, and the audience, because all of these facts can make or end your career."" Eduardo adds.

Besides given his huge experience as singer, actor and model, Eduardo proves us that building a career like this is very difficult, and is very demanding. It takes a lot of sacrifices, hard labour, and discipline to succeed. According to his opinion: ""These 3 elements are the basic ingredients to succeed in the endeavour""
