TeCheetah "Lopez" Taylor Queen of Salsa Soul
MY STORY
Te’Cheetah Lopez is a singer/songwriter/Actress and performer who defies traditional music boundaries.
By adding her Latin sabor to a variety of musical genres, she creates music that moves the body, stirs the soul and stimulates the mind. Love songs, sambas, R & B, funk and jazz, transform into new musical experiences every time she graces the stage.
Backed by great musicians from groups like Malo, the Dramatics, Tierra, Sly and the Family Stone and El Chicano, every Te’Cheetah recording and performance explodes with the spirit and musical passion she exudes.
This passion was clearly evident in the 2014 release of her second C.D. “Salsa Soul Fuzion,” co-produced and recorded by Rudy Salas (Tierra) and his son David Salas. The recordings featured El Chicano guitarist Ray Carrion, also Steven Gutierrez (Willie Bobo), Ronnie Lawes and Rick Reyes of Joe Batan and Tierra.
Radio DJs and fans loved the C.D., which quickly became a viral hit on the Internet.

Together with Jesse Johnson, (formerly of The Times), David co-produced her upcoming release "Abrazame." David and Jesse worked very hard producing and mixing Te'Cheetah's project, for an outstanding sound that has rocked this world, with Latin pop and soulful flavors."
