Héctor Gonz

Dominican singer and actor born in 1982 in San Francisco de Macorís, Dominican Republic, he took his first steps in the arts at a very early age, feeling a strong inclination towards dancing and singing.

During his adolescence, he was always guided by renowned singing and dancing teachers, with the Escuela De Baile "Ecos" dance school being the driving force behind his movements on stage, where he spent five years honing his urban dance techniques.

He developed his singing skills over several years under the tutelage of vocal coaches María Remolá and Mario Núñez.

All his effort and preparation paid off in early 2000 when Héctor was invited by Josefina Redondo, under the Remava Music label, to be part of the group "Circuito 4," which was the first group to introduce bachata to Europe.
Héctor
then decided to launch his solo career, and the result of this new beginning was the production "Jugando A Ser Poeta," with the hits "Pelusita" and "Ando buscando," achieving high ratings on radio stations in Canada, Europe, and the Dominican Republic.

In 2007, Héctor took a break from his art, seeking, like all artists, to go further. From this period of meditation, he began a new artistic phase in 2010, now offering us a modern take on Caribbean rhythms, bachata, and merengue. All of these new hits are included in the album Lastimando, with standout tracks such as Porque será, Sabor a menta, Es tú alma, and Una vieja melodía.

In November and December 2010, the young talent had successful concerts at the Coyote Club and Prestige nightclubs, where a large audience supported him, and he also participated in the annual concert organized by Jorge Diep for the inmates of Najayo.

In Florida, he was one of the most eagerly awaited performers at the Orange Street Festival, where he played an important role and was invited to the launch party for the new television program "Star Night" for the Telemundo network, produced by Latina Lissette Gómez in Los Angeles, California.

During his stay in Miami, he was welcomed with open arms on the program "Arrebatados," hosted by renowned presenter María Laria, where he shared with the entire cast of the program and talked about his future projects. This program is televised internationally for the Latino community in the United States.

In January 2011, Gonz visited the beautiful island of Puerto Rico, where, in addition to performances at prominent nightclubs in San Juan and Ponce, he also gave interviews, including one for the radio program "La Bachatera Del Norte," and held several autograph sessions for his fans.

That same month, Gonz received recognition at the "Premios de la Juventud" (Youth Awards) for his work, achievements, and dedication throughout his artistic career. This honor was televised on the program "En Acción Con Manuel y Hermes" (In Action with Manuel and Hermes).

In February, Héctor sang at the International Bachata Festival, held in Santo Domingo and produced by Vesa, a well-known producer of artistic events, and successfully carried out the idea for the "San Valentín Unplugged" presentation at Amara Bar.

In October, Héctor Gonz got a large audience dancing during the San Francisco California Festival.

According to his manager, Fiordaliza González, the crowd applauded and delighted in watching the Dominican artist perform and sing. She says that people from China, Japan, Mexico, the Philippines, and other countries attended the event, many of whom approached him to express their admiration in different languages.

After his performance, he traveled to Florida, where he performed at the Blue Martini nightclub.

In 2012, he began his Lastimando tour of the United States, performing at venues such as Lucky7, El Presidente, La Parrilla Latina, Rancho Jubilee, among others. In July, he continued his Lastimando tour in Barranquilla, Colombia, where he was very well received by the Barranquilla audience. In October, Héctor Gonz went on a promotional tour, meeting with the press in Columbus, Ohio, where he covered the media in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit, Atlanta, and Columbus, receiving great acclaim in the press and on TV.

Gonz closed the year with two awards, one at the Too Much Awards and the second presented by businessman Frank Girón in New York City.

Hector Gonz began 2013 with a nomination for the Latin Music Awards in Orlando, Florida.

In May 2015, he made a successful tour of the island of Guadeloupe, where he was very well received by the Guadeloupean public.

In February 2016, he visited the French islands of Guyana, Martinique, and Dominica, where he was also very well received by the public.

Héctor's experience, poise, humility, and dedication have made him a favorite among all his acquaintances, both inside and outside the artistic sphere, as a talented and special person who only wants to bring his passion for his art to all corners of the world and enjoy his music together with his fans.

He brings a fresh and modern sound, combining bachata, pop, and urban music with tropical elements. Last year, he recorded the song "Sabrás" with Grupo Extra, which ranked at the top of digital platforms such as Spotify, iTunes, Shazam, and YouTube, achieving more than 800,000 plays on YouTube alone and more than 1 million listeners on Spotify.

He recently recorded a remake of the song "Hoy todo va a salir bien" with Nico Clinico.
