Solo career
editIn 2009, Lasso started working on his first album with Francisco Díaz, producer of Desorden Público, to produce and mix his album. This process started at Sonofolk, a music studio, between October 2009 and June 2010, and came out with twelve songs. Once he finished recording the album, Lasso had the chance to hire Brian Gardner to master and finish the album in Los Angeles. When designing the album's artwork, he decided he would change his name to Lasso to pay homage to a Phoenix song of the same name he really enjoyed.
The music genre of this album is pop rock, but there are also influences of Latin rhythms like reggae and European rhythms like Flamenco.
After many months, Lasso returned to Venezuela with his first single "No Pares de Bailar", from his album Sin Otro Sentido. This album was launched in March 2011 and Recordland in charge of the national distribution. His single "Te Veo", became a number one hit in Venezuela, South America.[1]
In 2015 he moved to Mexico City to continue expanding his audience and musical career. There he launched his album "El Exilio Voluntario de una Mente Saturada" and his two recent singles "Un Millon Como Tu", in collaboration with Chilean-born Camila Gallardo, and "Souvenir" and the new song “Subtítulos” with Danna Paola released on 27 September 2019.
First single
editThe launch of his first single, "No Pares de Bailar", came with a music video filmed in November 2010. The producer was Paolo Merlini, Carolina Uslar as art director, and Rodolfo Bear as a photographer.
"No Pares de Bailar" was a Top #1 in HTV and his album Sin otro sentido became a top seller at the popular Venezuelan music stores Recordland for many weeks.
Awards
editLasso was named Debut Artist of the Year at the 2012 Pepsi Venezuela Music Awards,[2] and Pop Artist of the Year in 2013.[3] In 2023 Lasso and fellow Venezuelan group LAGOS were awarded best Pop/Rock Song on the 23rd Latin Grammys.
