Yaire (née Yaidelice Monrozeau) is a singer-songwriter from Puerto Rico.
[edit] Biography
Daughter of musician Eloy Monrozeau, she got her start in songwriting, composing for various artists, eventually winning an award from ASCAP for writing the 1993 Olga Tañon hit Mujer de Fuego. In 1998 she released Formas de Vida, her debut as a singer, to mild fanfare. In 2001, after recording in Madrid, Spain Yaire, her self-titled follow up, was released featuring a handful of radio and video hits. She would spend the next five years in Spain, writing and recording; in 2002, the follow up to Yaire was released, to even greater acclaim, but it produced less than impressive sales. Her 2005 album brought much the same response, it too staying in Yaire's shadow. [1]
In a June 2006 interview with Puerto Rican newspaper Primera Hora; Yaire lamented the state of an industry that puts profits above their artists, finding it so oppressive that she isn't sure when, or if, she'll release another album, although she is constantly writing and has amassed enough material for two albums.
