To the readers of this article, do you love pop music? Do you love house? Jelixa, the new Pop/House Sensation out of North Richland Hills, Texas, has made her mark with her Hot Debut Single Release: Are You the One for Me. What a Talent to see and a voice to hear….Dance Song that will surely rock anybody's groove!
Jelix Rodriguez, although she goes by her first name "Jelixa", is a twenty nine year old female artist who started off dancing and singing on coffee tables and imitating famous performers from Puerto Rico at the age of two. But at twenty nine she is now doing what some of the young people call “Poppin!” That’s right; she’s Poppin with her new hot track single “Are You the One for Me!” What are the responses she is getting from her listeners? Their loving the track! Their loving the vibe! Their loving Jelixa! People are starting to get a taste of what Jelixa is all about…..so much more to come!
At four and half years old Jelixa’s father past away, and a year later her mom moved to Texas and took Jelixa and Jelixa’s older brother along with her. But even after the death of Jelixa’s father, she would always dance to the Latin and Motown Music her mother played daily, and Jelixa would once again, as usual, be found dancing and singing to Marc Anthony, The Supremes, Michael Jackson, Prince, Madonna and other artist’s songs.
While attending Watauga Middle School, Jelixa joined the Choir; it was obvious to those who heard and knew her that the love of music was in her! She was chosen by a group of girls from her school to play as “Jazmine” from the Disney Movie Alladdin, and she continued to stay in Choir all through Haltom High School as she competed in singing competitions and won medals.
Once Jelixa graduated from High School she started going to college to Major in Physical Therapy. She later quit school to work at Sam’s Club/Wal-Mart for eight and one halve years so she could help her mother financially, for her mother was very much in need of Jelixa’s help. One unique thing that stands out about Jelixa is that even while working daily at Sam’s Club/Wal-Mart, music was never far from her mind. So she decided that her favorite show “American Idol” was the place that could help her make her dream come true. She appeared on American Idol and sung a Christina Aguilera song, but unfortunately like many others, she was not chosen. So she decided the next year she would try again, but a tumor was found on her thyroid and she had to have surgery. Thank God it was not malignant, but an additional fear was brought on by what the doctors had said, “She’s at risk of her vocal being scarred”….all went well.
Again destiny would play its part, but this time for the better. Through Jelixa’s mom, Jelixa met Michael Bell, Music Producer, and CEO of Indie Label Bell Time Records. Michael heard Jelixa sing and spoke to her about producing her as a Pop/House artist….surely Jelixa is now on her way to fulfilling her dreams. For all that she’s gone through, and for the committed love she has shown to her mother over the years, Jelixa is bound to be a start soon to shine!
Jelixa’s desire is that the world will accept and love her music. With the support of her family, friends and Indie label Bell Time Records, maybe one day her living room stage will become a real one, and the coffee tables she use to sing on will possibly become a precious memory for her to tell her future children about!
