Castillo is a Latin artist known for his unique accordion sound and style, his energetic performances and his extraordinary custom accordions. He has introduced a fresh new sound that expands the boundaries of accordion music and has become a well-known accordionist, singer, song writer, performer and producer. He collaborated on the 2017 Latin Grammy Award winning Best Regional Song “Siempre Es Asi.”
Ramos, a Midland native, is the youngest male artist to win a Tejano Music Award at the age of 13 and the youngest to have performed at Vegas Tejano Music Week in Las Vegas. He is also the youngest to have his own record label and the youngest to be endorsed by an accordion company, music company and hat company.
