Sammy Peralta

Widely respected for his mixing craftmanship and previous work with artists such as Gloria Estefan, Boyz II Men, and Mariah Carey, music guru and producer Sammy Peralta is a pertinent face in the world of dance. He has his hand in everything from producing, engineering, and writing music for an eclectic list of artists and musicians, including producer Winston Jones, TLC, the Notorious B.I.G., vocalist Karen Bernard, Janet Jackson, and Kenny G. Peralta credits jazz as being a prime influence when it comes to being musically inspired and involved. He says it’s the one true American art form invented and proliferated by African-Americans and Latino-Americans; his musical desires stem from jazz and venture into the areas of R&B and pop/rock. ~ Stacia Proefrock
