Jorge Correa

Generating Heat

The past months have been busy for recently-signed singer-songwriter Jorge Correa. His debut album, Corazon Illegal (Illegal Heart), released by Universal Music Latino and its first single "Carmelina", has reached the upper echelons of the top 20 Billboard charts. Jorge, recently nominated to Premio Lo Nuestro 2004 as, "Revelation of the Year" in the Rock genre, released his second single "Apiadate de Mi" ("Have Pity on Me") on February 18th, 2004. His songs run the gamut from "Apiadate de Mi" a powerful ballad full of emotion and an amazing vocal performance, to "Carmelina", a fast-paced tropical hit that helped propel this upcoming artist into the spotlight. Not bad for a carpenter who just happened to be involved in remodeling the home of world renowned ASCAP singer/songwriter Omar Alfanno, who eventually heard of Jorge's talent, and offered him an audition for a project that he was putting together.
