ABOUT: 
Recent addition to the music scene, Noel Lorica has already been recognized by last year's Grammy's, garnering 12 Ballot entries. His Latin, Jazz and Pop mix appeals widely, topping some independent charts. Although known mainly as an instrumentalist, Noel is venturing into songs with lyricist and wife, Dee Stakenas. Noel's is not the typical way to a musical career, his background is varied including migrating from Manila to being a practicing veterinarian, but his tireless dedication is helping him gain accolades including the John Lennon & Billboard's Song Contest, an hour performance at Sunfest, Florida and a coveted spot on PBS's "New Music Showcase". His debut album was acclaimed by freelance columnist, Karl Stober for EJazzNews as "one of the rare stunning pieces of Latin Jazz to hit the scene today."
