Don't Miss Jon Secada at the PAC on April 1
Mark your calendars: Grammy-award winning artist Jon Secada will take the Santa Clarita Performing Arts Center (PAC) stage on Saturday, April 1.
With a career spanning more than two decades, three Grammy Awards, 20 million albums sold and starring roles on Broadway, the romantic sounds of Secada have resulted in numerous hits in English and Spanish, establishing him as one of the first bilingual artists to have international crossover success. With hit songs like "Just Another Day," "Do You Believe in Us," "I'm Free" and "Angel," he is recognized as an international superstar by both fans and peers alike for his soulful and melodic voice.
Acknowledged as Humanitarian of the Year in 2016 by The Muhammad Ali Foundation, Secada's career skyrocketed in 1991 with the release of his self-titled debut album "Jon Secada" (SBK/EMI), which sold over 6 million copies worldwide, was certified triple platinum in the US and reached No.15 on Billboard's Pop album chart. The Spanish-language version of the album, "Otro Dia Mas Sin Verte" (EMI-Latin), went on to become the No. 1 Latin album of 1992 and earned Secada his first Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Album.
Beyond his own hits, Secada is widely recognized for his impeccable producing and songwriting skills. One of his first major breaks came from collaborating with Gloria Estefan in the late 1980s, which led to him co-writing her No. 1 hit single, "Coming Out of the Dark." Since then, Secada has gone on to pen countless popular songs for superstars such as Jennifer Lopez and Ricky Martin.
Don't miss Jon Secada's special PAC performance on Saturday, April 1. Tickets range from $50 to $90.
