Rudy Pérez
R
udy Pérez is an International Songwriter, Producer,
Arranger, Entrepreneur and Philanthropist. During the
last 30 years, he has composed over 1,000 songs with over
300 of them have been #1 or top ten hits. He has written
and produced tracks for artists including Beyonce, Julio
Iglesias, Christina Aguilera, IL Divo, Natalie Cole, Michael
Bolton, Luis Miguel, Jose Feliciano, Marc Anthony, Jon
Secada, Cyndi Lauper, Roberto Carlos, Los Temerarios, Juan
Gabriel, Alejandro Fernandez, Marco Antonio Solis, Jose
Luis Rodriguez (El Puma) Alexandre Pires, Arturo Sandoval,
Chayene, Luis Fonsi, Dima Bilan, Leonid Agutin and Jaci
Velasquez, Juan Luis Guerra among many more. He is the first
Latin record producer to win the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks
Producer of the Year for four consecutive years.
Perez has also been awarded ASCAP’s Songwriter of The Year 5 times. In 2010 Billboard Magazine
named Rudy “Producer of The Decade” for having more # 1 and Top Ten Hits chart from 2000 to
2010. More than any other Latin Producer in their history. He has been called by industry leaders, “the
Producer, Songwriter with the midas touch”. It’s no wonder why he has received over 500 gold and
platinum album awards, and his works have been nominated for 19 Grammy Awards, with five wins.
Billboard Magazine’s, Leila Cobo, wrote “A look at the 10 of the 13 tracks this year that placed
Rudy Perez at the top of the year-end Hot Latin Tracks producers list reveals a versatile producer/
songwriter capable of successfully handling a variety of music genres.” Perez’s strength lies in
his chameleon-like capabilities; not only does he easily navigate through assorted styles, he also
traverses Record Labels, with credits on each of the Majors as well as Independents. Perez has
emerged atop one of the hottest trends to surface in the Latin music Industry: English- speaking
Artists like Beyonce, who decide to cross over into the Spanish market.
Chairman and Presidents of all Major Labels have been quoted saying: “Rudy’s got this bicultural
understanding of the music” ” It’s not about language, it’s about culture, and Rudy seems to
understand that very, very well”. He has his thumb on the pulse of the Latin movement. Since he has
this unique understanding of the market, it makes it a very smart decision to bring him into all our
projects! Mauricio Abaroa former SVP and Executive Director of the Latin Academy of Recording
Arts and Sciences, says: “If we analyze the work he’s done in the past years, we find the songs and
productions that are the most representative of the contemporary Latin music movement” Music
Executive and Producer Ron Fair, former President of A&M Geffen Records says about Rudy’s
work with Christina Aguilera: “From a creative standpoint and from a musical standpoint, Rudy
Perez was the best possible Songwriter/Producer to bring Christina into the Spanish language
world”. Music Moguls like Simon Cowell call upon Rudy to work with his biggest artists like IL Divo.
Mr. Perez has a vast experience in music composition and production for Commercials, TV, and
Film In 2009, Rudy launched his Label, Bullseye Music Entertainment, a unique boutique indie
Latin Label whose streamline operation brings together top independent professionals under his
direction. Rudy teamed up with friend and music Industry veteran Rick Stevens for this venture.
Their first release was with the NBC/Telemundo Telenovela Superstar, Jencarlos Canela who Rudy
has been developing since he was 17 years old. Jencarlos is the star of hit Novelas like, PECADOS
AJENOS, MAS SABE EL DIABLO, and MI CORAZON INSISTE. In what may be the highest-ever
first week position on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart from a debut artist with independent
4
distribution, Jencarlos’ first album “Buscame” debuted at # 2. Under Bullseye, “Buscame” set a
record as the highest charting Latin debut album ever on an Independent Label in the history of
the charts. Bullseye became the Independent label of the year, and was nominated for a Billboard
Music Award as the LATIN POP LABEL OF THE YEAR…the only non-major label sorecognized.
In 2011 Bullseye does it again. This time, Bullseye Music Entertainment and Jencarlos solidify
their standing once again by coming in at #1 in the first week of releasing Jencarlos’ new album “Un
Nuevo Dia”. Rudy and Bullseye’s focus is on the fastest growing segment of the USA population…
the YLA’s (Young Latinos In America). This is the generation that is dominating the general market
because they are the general market. Rudy is determined to create artists and a lifestyle that are
from this demographic. This is the reason he teamed up with the ASCAP Foundation and created
the Rudy Perez Songwriting Scholarship to help aspiring Latino Songwriters since 2003 go to
college. In his quest to mentor and develop new artists, Rudy teamed up with longtime friends and
colleagues, Jon Secada, David Frangioni and Mark Hudson to create a great program called IDA
(Inspire & Develop Artists) to find out more visit: www.idaprogram.com
More of his projects include, his production of Natalie Cole’s Spanish Album in which Perez
produced a Historic duet with Natalie and her Dad Nat King Cole in Spanish. He’s also working
on Jon Secada’s new English album that will feature a duet with Cyndi Lauper of a song that Rudy
co-wrote with Dr. Maya Angelou and Joel Diamond entitled “Still I Rise”. Currently Rudy is in the
studio working with Portuguese Superstar Mickael Carreira on his first Spanish crossover Album.
Rudy had worked on Mickael’s Portuguese album that went multi Platinum. He’s also working on
a mega world music project with Mr. Claes Nobel, the Patriarch of the Swedish Nobel Peace Prize
Family involving all of the biggest Star Singers and Musicians in the world.
Rudy’s also working out all of the logistics of the Fourth Annual Latin Songwriters Hall of Fame “La
Musa” Awards Gala that he co-founded with Desmond Child.

Conductor of The Miami Symphony Orchestra, he remains deeply involved in the musical life of
his native Venezuela and continues to guest conduct actively in Europe. A Steinway Artist, he has

greatest orchestral composers.

the region by DirecTV.
Born in Caracas, Marturet studied in Cambridge, England where he became firmly rooted in the
European tradition, obtaining a degree in Piano, Percussion, Conducting, and Composition. In 1979,
he returned to Venezuela with a permanent position with the Orquesta Filarmónica de Caracas as
