WHY HERO? - (Aug 2002) • I've had many people approach me asking what the term "HERO" meant. Hollywood is releasing many movies with Superhero themes. We're living in a time when many are searching for a "HERO" to call their own. As a little boy I was a fan of Superman. Anything that had to do with Superman was ok in my book.
So, what is a "HERO"? In my book, a "HERO" is someone who would give their life for someone else. A "HERO" would put their own needs after someone elses. And a "HERO" would continue to protect those who are helpless against evil forces. To me only ONE PERSON can fit that description. That person is JESUS CHRIST!
So when I was inspired to write "HERO" I knew that this was to be the title track for the album. I wanted to EVANGELIZE a "HERO'S" message. And to tell the world that our "HERO" has arrived and is alive and well!!!!!

THE MUSIC • The album consists of original music written by Carlos Ortiz, with the exception of What a Friend We Have in Jesus. I wanted to write songs that were contemporary and yet could transcend the generational gap. So as you're listening to the CD, you'll notice that there's something on it for everyone.
The music was sequenced using the Yamaha Motif and was put together with the vocals using Guitar Tracks, a computer software program from Cakewalk. Discmakers mass produced the CD's. They also did the Mastering, EQ and graphics. |
