The versatile Jay Perez, known to his fans as "The Voice," keeps making fresh, modern Tejano and regional Mexican music without slavishly following trends.

Born and based in San Antonio, Texas, Jay offers 13 top-notch tracks on his latest studio set, "MI DESTINO." The album features the conjunto-flavored title track, plenty of Jay's soulful rancheras, three cumbias, and a few surprises. His brassy Tejano reworking of the 1981 Tierra hit "Together" is sure to be a crowd favorite, and he also belts out a corrido and a regret-filled country ballad with the emotion of someone who's experienced life's ups and downs.

Ten years into his solo career, Jay is the vocalist music lovers turn to when they want to hear something real, as "MI DESTINO" once again proves.
