Velazquez released her first cd in 1996, and five of the songs in that cd became hits. In 1998, she was signed over by Sony Latin[?] and introduced to Rudy Perez[?], who had helped the careers of Jose Luis Rodriguez, Jose Feliciano and Julio Iglesias, among others. After that, Velazquez was able to achieve the crossover appeal she desired, building a fan base among hispanics as well as Americans. After remaining on the public light, Velazquez was given a chance, in 2002, to act in her first Hollywood movie. Chasing Papi[?], which stars her, Sofia Vergara[?], Puerto Rico's Roselyn Sanchez[?] and Eduardo Verastegui[?], was released nationwide in the United States in April of 2003.
