Jacquelyn Davette Velasquez was born
October 15th, 1979 in Houston, Texas to David and
Diana Velasquez. She is the youngest sibling of
Mario, Julian, Mindy, and Dion.
Jaci Velasquez ceases to be a novelty act the moment
she picks up a microphone. Although it would be any
casual observer抯 inclination to be both
distracted and mesmerized by her youth, Jaci's
musical talents go well beyond her 19 years. Her
vocals have long exceeded anyone's expectations of a
teenager's range, emotion and depth, and on her
latest release, simply titled, Jaci Velasquez, an
even more polished and sophisticated artist has
emerged. The little girl with the big dream is no
longer dreaming.
Only three short years ago, an unknown 16 year-old,
soon-to-be-phenom, exploded in the world of
Christian music. With the release of her debut
album, Heavenly Place, Velasquez quickly became a
fixture on the charts, graced the pages and covers
of national magazines and was a constant winner in a
multitude of award polls and shows. She now holds
the distinction of being the fastest selling debut
solo artist in the history of Christian music. Her
debut album shot five singles to the number one
position, landed Jaci Velasquez the prestigious Dove
Award for New Artist of the Year and was recently
certified gold, signifying sales over half a million
copies. Not a bad start for any new artist.
