Judging from his wide fan base, including the U.S., Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Colombia, Venezuela and Panama to name a few, it is obvious that his perceptions of society are universally understood in every sense of the word.

Secreto put himself on the map with his 1997-1998 smash hit "Tumba La Casa" which won him an ACE award. Since then, he has been on the cutting edge of the Meren-House, Latin Reggae and Latin Hip-Hip scenes. With his trademark derby hat and one-of-a-kind rap style, he is leading this movement out of the underground depths and into its next transitional stage which is the Latin Music Mainstream. Many have tried to imitate him but have failed. It is difÞcult to follow in the footsteps of an artist that has a track record of over 500,000 units sold.

Born in Santo Domingo and raised in Brooklyn, few realize that Secreto was a baseball player alongside Sammy Sosa in the minor leagues. During that time Secreto decided that music is where he would make his lasting mark. He has recorded re-mixes with many known artists such as Kinito Mendez "El Loco Soy Yo," Zafra Negra "Llorando Por Ella," Maricely's bachata "Killing Me Softly," Allen St's 2x2 "The Way You Shake It," El General "La Bamba" and La Banda Loca's "Sammy Sosa La Boto." These songs have been heard all over the world and Secreto's unique rap style was the extra touch for the extra punch.

Secreto has been busy acting as well. He started with a small part in a SAG movie "Buscando Un Sueno" in 1998. Since then he had a substantial part in the soon to be released Paramount movie "Shaft Returns." Featuring Samuel L. Jackson, Vanessa Williams and Busta Rhymes. Directed by John Singleton. Once again he is featured wearing his one of a kind derby hat. His fans will be very surprised.

In early 2000 he will be releasing his long awaited solo debut entitled "Por Fin Llego..." This features songs such as "Sopresas," "Ya La Casa Se Rompio," "Condom," "Mujer Celosa" which is a Reggae/ Rap collaboration with the legendary EL GRAN COMBO de PUERTO RICO who made this song a worldwide timeless classic. An honor never before bestowed on anyone till now. This will deÞnitely go down in history. Two merengues, arranged by the famous Elvis Classe of LA BANDA LOCA, will have people tearing up the dance ¦oors.. His fans will also Þnd a mix of Latin Reggae & Latin Hip-Hop with an R&B feel.

Secreto's rich story-telling and intense feeling of rhythm will capture the spirit of everyone's soul. He masterfully combines Salsa and Hip-Hop, Merengue and House with Reggae mixed in. He will inspire and set standards in a genre of music that has not yet seen the mainstream light. It seems everyone is waiting for SECRETO. How about you? SSShhhhhhhhhh ...
