APEX RECORDS was founded in 1996 by attorney/psychologist/musician George Gamez, Ph.D., J.D. In spite of having a small budget and limited resources, we have survived. We have even managed to secure some licensing deals in Asia. Distribution of our products is still limited and we are hopeful of expanding this area. At this point, George Gamez is the sole artist on the label. Although we are not actively looking for new talent, Apex does not exclude the possibility of adding a new artist in the World Music, Latin and/or New Age Genres. We are also looking into joint ventures with other labels, distributors or related businesses to expand our operations. Anyone interested should contact Apex@georgegamez.com.
Apex has released four CDs by George Gamez. His eponymous album titled Lightning Strikes Again was released in 1996 and Between 2 Worlds in 1999. He has followed these excellent productions with two new projects. In the Realm of Flamenco is a must for nylon string guitar enthusiasts and Rhythms of the Heart is dedicated to those who love romantic love songs. His recordings reflect his virtuosity on the guitar and his multi-cultural background. These are a fusion of flamenco and Latin rhythms together with original songs in Spanish and English.
George is a guitarist/singer/songwriter who has produced his own solo albums. As such, he can be categorized not only as a composer/artist but as a producer as well. From his beginnings in Latin music and early training in flamenco guitar, to the present influences of World music, George has developed an original style unlike any flamenco fusion on the market today. His innovative compositions and stellar guitar playing will change the way you feel about Contemporary World Music. Breaking new ground and bringing together diverse cultures, this international artist brings to his music a vision that is truly global.
As a psychologist, George also has produced Self Help Tapes in both English and Spanish. These are also under the Apex label and we are looking for distribution for these products as well.
Apex markets George Gamez’ CDs through radio/TV interviews, direct mailings, speaking/playing engagements, public performances, club dates, advertising, seminars, workshops, and Internet listings.
