外文名：Obie Bermudez 国籍：波多黎各 生日：1980-1-10 简介：Born in the mountain town of Aibonito, Puerto Rico, singer/songwriter Obie Bermúdez moved with his family to the agriculturally rich Vineland, NJ, at the age of 12. An interest in poetry came first, but soon Bermúdez became obsessed with music and composition. A demo was recorded in 1996 and two years later RCA International issued his debut album, Locales. The pop album drew some attention, but not enough to turn him into a superstar. The self-proclaimed bohemian took a break from music and opted to work in a South Bronx laundromat for the next five years. The customers and co-workers and their day-to-day lives inspired nearly all the songs on his second album, Confesiones, released by EMI International in 2004. The more alternative-sounding album was an instant hit with the kickoff single, "Antes", reaching number one on numerous Latin music charts. Todo el Año followed in 2004 and Lo Que Trajo el Barco in 2006. 从艺历程：In 1998, Bermúdez recorded his first CD and debuted as a professional singer with Locales (Locals). Locales was recorded by BMG Records. His music recordings contained more musical instruments than your typical salsa orquestra and his songs contain a social message. In 2000, Bermúdez moved to New York City, believing that there he would be able to obtain the success that he wanted, however that did not occur and he ended up working in a laundromat to sustain himself economically. While working at the laundromat, he came into contact with all sorts of people from different levels of society. The experiences that he gained by observing and coming into contact with these people would serve him in the near future with his song writing. In 2003, he was contracted to participate in the United States musical tours of Juanes, Paulina Rubio and Juan Luis Guerra. In 2004, Bermúdez released his second CD Confesiones. This CD contained three songs which reached the Top 10 singles on Billboard's Hot Latin Charts. In January 2005 he released "Todo el Año" (All year long) which included the songs Maldita Boca (Damn mouth) and Ya te Olvide (I have forgotten you), he also released Como Pudiste (How could you?). In his production Todo el Año, Bermúdez express' that he is closer than ever to the emotions of the common men and that he continues to stay connected to the everyday people who walk the streets. In his style he express' a handful of experiences of the past year. Todo el Año covers many personal themes including love. As the singer explained: "The opportunity to present this Album is more than a blessing. I'm happy that the public has embraced me and feel so fortunate... I hope that Todo el Año will be another album that my fans can relate to." The album won a Latin Grammy for Best Male Pop Vocal Album in 2005. 荣誉记录：拉丁格莱美最佳男流行声乐专辑《 Todo el Año》获得者 获得格莱美奖提名和七项拉丁格莱美奖提名 荣获三项ASCAP 大奖 三首 Billboard 拉丁热门单曲冠军单曲；五首单曲进入前十 RIAA 认证发行：白金唱片：2004 年 3 月 6 日/ 金唱片：2004 年 3 月 6 日 YouTube 上“Antes”视频的观看次数超过 1.48 亿次 传奇人物保罗·西蒙演唱的《The Capeman》
