Sisters’ D’ette and D’anna have been singing and entertaining for most of
their lives. Barely in their
twenties Sorela possesses an unmatched combination of beauty, talent,
poise, experience and ambition. Born in Albuquerque New Mexico
Sorela’s early years were spent in the entertainment capital of the world
Las Vegas Nevada, before moving back to New Mexico. Exposed to the
glitz and glamour of the Las Vegas show biz this left an everlasting
imprint that inspired their careers. But it was in the
New Mexico
where Sorela got their start winning a church talent contest and $100.00.
This led to many more church, civic, scholastic performances and shopping
sprees throughout their school years. In 1997 the girls recorded “Si
Quieres Verme Llorar” and “Eres Tu” under the name D’Girlz as they were
called at the time. Both songs gained major regional air play. These two
songs established their unique sound blending elements of R & B, Pop and
Latin rhythms recorded in Spanish. Living in New Mexico the girls have
performed and enjoyed recording traditional Spanish Mexican songs in
ranchera, cumbia and ballad styles. After years of continued
mispronunciation of D’Girlz they decided a new group name was in order.
The girls were no longer little girls and they were becoming more and more
in demand due to their popularity. In 2004 the girls looked to their
Spanish and Italian ancestry for a new name. Written memoirs from their
great great Italian grandparents showed the term Sorela when addressing
their siblings. The two romantically entwined languages made for the
perfect name “Sorela” which means “Sister”. That same year Sorela
recorded their first full length CD. The CD received numerous awards and
nominations. Sorela received four nominations from the New Mexico
Entertainers Association in 2005 for the categories of Traditional
Ranchera of The Year, Latin R & B/Hip Hop Song of The Year, Album of The
Year and came home with the award for Song of The Year for “La Novia de
Pajarillo”.
Sorela also received nine nominations from the New Mexico Hispano Music
Association in 2005. After delivering a stunning performance at that
award show the girls took home awards for; Vocal Duo of The Year,
Latin/Pop Song of The Year and Producer of The Year for the self titled
album Sorela. In 2006 Sorela was honored from the New Mexico Music Awards
winning Best Musical Production Country. This award was pivotal giving
Sorela another new musical direction from this already multi-versatile
sister duo. The girls were inspired to play guitar and bass guitar during
their shows. That same year Sorela was named Female Entertainers of The
Year by the New Mexico Musicians Fund. All of these awards and accolades
caught the attention of a Nashville producer. Sorela flew to Nashville
several times in 2006 to record original music written for Sorela in
Spanish and in English. Sorela’s Nashville producer is still pursuing a
major record deal. Sorela’s Nashville recording experience has proven to
be a turning point in D’ette and D’anna’s career. From these sessions one
of the songs that emerged was the masterfully
produced “Te Amo Tanto”
which received mass regional air play and introduced another new side of
Sorela. “Te Amo Tanto” was named Song of The Year by the New Mexico
Hispano Entertainers Association in 2007, which lead to Sorela being named
once again Female Entertainer’s of The Year 2007.
Sorela’s latest endeavor is television and film. With their unique
southwestern beauty and charm it has opened more doors for them in the
film industry. Extremely photogenic Sorela has always excelled in front
of the camera. Often confused as twins they are not. The qualities that
separate the girls are D’anna's mysteriously captivating yet playful onyx
colored eyes and jet black hair along and D’ette’s stunningly piercing
almost magically color changing eyes and ever evolving hair color.
Together they make for an unrivaled combination of talent and movie star
beauty. They have graced many adoring fan photo albums, music videos and
television appearances. Be on the look out for Sorela on big screen in
the near future.
Sorela will be releasing a new CD this year with much anticipation from
their fans and the music industry.
Sorela’s sights have always been beyond New Mexico/Land of Enchantment.
Their versatility, image, focus and God given talent will take them to new
frontiers. Indigenous to New Mexico and all its rich culture and
traditions Sorela is reaching beyond the valleys of the Rio Grande into
the national spotlight. What will Sorela come up with next?
