Beginning his career as "Chuckie P", the California-based artist helped open the doors for urban artists in Christian music. Releasing English and Spanish-language projects on a variety of labels including Essential and Diadem/Benson, Perez toured the U.S. with artists like dcTalk and the Newsboys, and toured internationally several times.
In recent years, Perez has been busy writing tracks for popular network television shows including One Life to Live, All My Children and notable programming throughout Italy. He also wrote and recorded the title track for Before I Wake, the biographical of slain rapper Tupac Shakur. In addition to his successful music career, Perez pastors West Coast Community Church in Fontana, California.
It's been nearly ten years since Christian music fans last heard from Perez, so it's no wonder that his upcoming release is highly anticipated.
"I accomplished a lot in the first phase of my career," says Perez. "And I'm coming back from a genuine place, hoping someone else may be encouraged or inspired. I want to be authentic. It's time for the next chapter."
In addition to the September 27th release of the A Page From My Life CD, TAG is releasing A Page From My Life: The Process, a DVD that takes fans into the studio for a behind-the-scenes look at the recording process. The DVD also includes exclusive interview footage and home videos of the Perez family's vacation in London.
To promote the new release, Chuckie will appear on numerous television shows including JC-TV and The Jim Bakker Show. A music video for the song "My People" will appear in Christian music video outlets in September.
Perez joins the TAG roster alongside such artists as Clay Crosse, Bryan Duncan, Phil Keaggy, Leon Patillo, Steve Archer, Kent Bottenfield, Joy Oliver, Chronos, Substance and Bruce Carroll.
"When I first heard Chuckie's new project, I was stunned by the production quality and taken in by the lyrics," says Dan Huisinga, President of TAG Artist Group. "After meeting this gifted artist, I knew TAG would be proud to promote him to our partners at Christian retail."
