Ducado VeGA: About Me
Ducado The Artist
Ducado VeGA
What can I say other than his genius will shake the foundation of music. The man plays multiple instruments (13 to be exact). He is a songwriter, producer, artist, engineer, actor, author and musician. His songwriting catalog has more than 1500 works. His life is a storybook of joy and pain. These experiences have given birth to one of the most gifted musicians the world will ever know. His tragedies and triumphs fuel his desire to share his phenomenal gift with this planet. He has multiple recording projects to his credits including 1 solo album and 3 solo EPs. VeGA has produced a multitude of artists and he is still going strong. He and co-author Susan 'VyOlet' Crandall, have written a music marketing book called "Xtreme Music Marketing". And just like the book's title, Ducado VeGA is Xtreme. His music is hard hitting and funky. The sound was crafted through combing several different musical styles including funk, rock, hip-hop, soul, latin and dance. He walks in creative confidence and never backs away from a challenge. Ducado constantly pushes the limit by diving into new innovate projects that call on his genius. Having written and produced music in over 15 genres, Ducado has been quoted as saying " I do what I was put here to do". The man who has the reputation of never sleeping sees himself as a bridge. Through his creative eye, Ducado envisions music going back to being music. By fusing the good, the grimy and leavin a few flaws, VeGA gives the music a signature, and thats what makes it all unique. Ducado has an innate ability to combine the old with the new and never loose a step. Never wanting to let the cat out of the bag too soon, he is cautious about when he strikes. He only shares his ultimate vision with those closest to him and leaves no room for compromise. Criticism has very little effect on this unique soul, as he believes that all things have a place in existence. His perfection is the imperfections that make all creations unique. 2006 will see a floodgate of creative energy and exquisite artistry from the 'House of VeGA' aka C.O.A. Entertainment. The C.O.A. Entertainment family is bigger and stronger than ever. His EP 'Milagro' is absolutely sensational. Ducado is set to release a much anticipated HITZ album in 08. Don't miss out on it. It will contain his funkiest joints from previous recordings as well as new material. Ducado is also set to release his long awaited documentary.
He has been compared to many, but there is only one Ducado VeGA. To know is him, is to love him. To hate him, is to envy him. You wanna dance? You wanna make love? You wanna get "crazy sexy"? Ducado is your answer!

My Letter 2 U!!!!

And so a new journey begins. One without shame, bitterness, blame, regret, guilt, or hatred. I look back on the past year in utter disbelief as I realize that life has thrown me into a position where I am forced to know myself and what makes me tick. I often looked into to the mirror and saw the eyes of a stranger. I walked around housing secrets, fearful in one respect and cocky in another. I saw the rise and fall of relationships that meant a lot to me. I realized that through it all I had to become what was put in me from birth. I had to face the pain of physically walking away from people who I love. I had to endure the pain of not knowing whether I would truly love again. Old habits were broken living and material. My new fix is my destiny. No more playing games with myself. I now get high off of realizing my dreams. I get high off of being brutally honest with myself and anyone else who can withstand it. I get high off knowing that my addiction to rescuing others is broken. I am cautious about who I let in but I am still bold to the very end. My shame is only mirrored by my desire to do the right thing. Me and that B@#*h Karma have hooked up and she promised me that I would see the demise of the backstabbers of yesterday before tomorrow lifts the sun to shine on the rain drenched surface that needs a facelift. I wish u all love and I thank u all for being a part of ME! Whether u came into my life for the good or bad u were here when I needed u most and VeGA luvs u for that. Sound like a contradiction, so what? I need the clouds just as much as I need the sun. Making love is just as good when ur breaking up….as it is when ur making up. I got my mind made up this time. Oh and by the way if anyone is offended by me mentioning lovemaking on this site, just know that ur beautiful existence is so, because two souls decided to make love. And even if it wasn’t about making love there is still BEAUTY IN THE IMPERFECTION! Most of our problems stem from the fact that we aren’t making love anymore. And I’m not just talking about physical love I’m talking about (Making Love the Answer-the Priority-the End Result). Is anyone listening? Get out of my personal business and make sure that the roof on ur house ain’t leaking. So what if I only have one door and no windows. I live daily in what I must be. Live what u are. Stop taking no for an answer. How will they ever know who u are if u don’t let them know. Remember when He whispered ur destiny in ur ear while still in Mama. Don’t take it light it is ur only way out of the pretend world into the real world. The land of make believe is for children. Ur real world still has a Merry-Go-Round I PROMISE!
The way I figure true love has its season-And everything happens for good reason. I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I WOULD LIVE ALL ALONE. Yesterdays love through today.
Spread Love
Ducado VeGA BABY!!
