In 1989, Van Lester’s recording career took off professionally when he recorded two compact discs titled ‘Puerto Rico 2013′ and ‘Banda’lla’ along side ‘FRANK FERRER and PUERTO RICO 2013′. VAN LESTER gained popularity with the Puerto Rican public with the two hit singles of these productions. ‘Hermano Hector’ and ‘Mi Mama No Quiere’ The similarity between VAN LESTER and HECTOR LAVOE captured the attention of producer RALPH MERCADO. He immediately signed a recording contract with FRANK FERRER for RMM Record under the label ‘SONERO’ to record VAN LESTER. This recording contract makes VAN LESTER part of the permanent ‘Stellar Salsa Scene’ and helps launch his international singing career with his first CD titled ‘Soy La Voz’.
