Ven Bravo

Ven Bravo was born in Monterrey, Mexico . His family lived in Texas, where he grew up the youngest of three siblings. As a child he had a tenacious and independent spirit. As a young man his tenacity was further fueled by his creative drive. His outlet became music writing. It quickly became evident to those around him that he had a very unique talent for composing. In his late teens, he made a bold attempt at the music industry in Mexico. He was part of a band named "Paradigma". With Ven as the lead singer, the band began to play their spanish dance club music in venues all over Mexico.

The band was working on releasing their first album when family business brought Ven back to Texas. His music career was placed on permanent hold.

Once back in Texas, Ven launched himself into a real estate career. As it turned out he had a knack for business and he eventually built his own real estate and land development companies. Although, he was very successful in business Ven came to a point in his life were running his company was no longer fulfilling. His passion and drive for a music career had not diminished over the years. While spending time with his friends, someone talked about "living life to its fullest" because 'you only live once". Those words struck a deep chord with him. He knew it was time for him finish what he had started so may years ago.

In the fall of 2004 he decided to put his business career on hold. He contacted a former band mate to help with production, and once again Ven began to write music. After months of intensive writing, rewriting, and vocal training the album began to take shape. His debut album, which is aptly titled "Changing World? is a true expression of himself. He has decided to release this album completely on his own in order to maintain creative control of the songs. This is the way he lives his life- always breaking new ground and trying new adventures. These are his songs, his dreams, and his independence.

Through this entire process, Ven has gained a tremendous amount of respect for all other independent artists who believe in their dreams and are going through the same struggles as he is. He believes that despite with all the struggles and obstacles, there are still many opportunities that were not available in the past as they are now. Ven is moving forward and breaking barriers in a ?changing world" one song at a time.
