Desmond Child

The Latin Hit Maker

History & Biography

“Rudy is a true quadruple threat: songwriter, arranger, keyboardist, and lyricist. Mucho excellence in all categories. Rudy Pérez is a musical genius and visionary who cofounded the groundbreaking Latin Songwriters Hall of Fame with me, proving once again that he is not only an incorrigible and unrepentant dreamer but a down-to-earth doer. Rudy is also the most loyal, generous, and caring friend one could ever have. Very few people have accomplished as much and helped as many as Rudy Pérez. I am also proud that he is from the same hometown in Cuba where my mother was born—Pinar Del Río.”
