Harold Velazquez grew up in Brooklyn with Colombian parents, hearing salsa and merengue alongside hip-hop and R&B in his neighborhood. He released his debut album 'Latinos' in 2001, which included the track 'Cara a Cara' among others. The album found an audience with its themes of Latino identity.
His songs like 'Tiene Que Doler' and 'El Merecedor de Gloria' continued to explore cultural themes through his music. He followed 'Latinos' with albums including 'Latinoamericano' in 2003 and 'Mi Gente' in 2006.
Velazquez's work often touches on social issues affecting Latino communities. Songs such as 'No Me Viste a MÍ' and 'Somos Las Voces' reflect this focus in his writing.
