I was born in San Jose de Mesillas Sombrerete Zacatecas Mexico.  I started humming songs that my mother was singing while doing her home chores.  This music included church songs, as well contemporary music played on the radio.  From my mother side of the family there is several musicians who have a recording band and are currently  working on writing songs.  From my father mother’s side of the family I give credit to the Sanchez family, who has several musicians that have play music as a habit and inspired to be artist.  The Rodriguez family crossed the USA, Mexican border on June 13th 1965.  I spent that summer mostly inside the family home and entered Van Nuys Junior High in the fall of that year.  I befriended the Alonzo family whom had two adolescent boys that were practicing music and had a cousin who was playing the guitar.  I started to practice with the three family members and soon we developed a garage band.  The focus of the band was in playing mostly contemporary ballads played by groups like Los Fredis, Apson, and Rancheras.  I was always thinking about making La Banda de musica and acquired two more musicians from Van Nuys High School that played trombone and alto saxophone.  We continue to look ahead and started playing in weddings and local ballrooms, soon three other musicians were added to the band and the band started to focus more on plsying English songs and eventually lost its cohesiveness.  I later enrolled in voice classes at Valley College and continued singing during family gatherings especially during Christmas holidays.
I met my wife Basilia during an outing at a ballroom were she was dancing and I asked her to dance with me.  The rest is history. Soon we got married and had three boys making it difficult to persue my music career, I focused on working and getting an education.  I never gave up on my dream to be a singer, I continued to practice solo at my parents garage and later at my home where I eventually wrote songs.  I earned a Doctorate degree in Psychology. I have a private practice and teach part time at C.S.U.N.  I never gave up on my dream to sing songs; I currently completed my first Album/CD titled “Es Amor”.
I would like to focus this next stage of my life in writing and recording music, I feel very comfortable singing to audiences of all ages.  I have been a guest on the following talk shows, three times in the Christina show, several times in the show Los Angeles Al Dia, a television commercial for a local hospital, and have been a guest on local radio talk shows. I have appeared in local newspapers The Los Angeles Times, The Daily News, and La Opinion.  I feel music is a very special part of my life and I’d like to share it with you and the world.
Sincerely,
Herman
