Career
After signing with Universal Music Canada in 2015, he stormed the Billboard charts with his debut single "Dancing Kizomba," named after the Angolan dance movement that combines Western ballroom dance with African elements. The single was recorded in English and Spanish, both born from his desire to honor his roots and to increase exposure for Canadian-Latin music artists. Produced by Medy Landia, "Dancing Kizomba" combined a positive energy with Veliz' global style. "Dancing Kizomba" received over 35 million streams on Spotify and multiple remixes including a version with Don Omar. His music is described as "synth-driven, Latin-rhythm-infused pop."
