About
Raul Lozano is a singer, songwriter, music producer, and audio professional from Brownsville, Texas. Born on April 12, 1999, Raul discovered his passion for music at an early age and began performing publicly as a child. At just nine years old, he made his radio debut, marking the beginning of a musical journey that would take him across stages throughout the United States and internationally. Raul earned an Audio Arts Certification from Full Sail University and continues to expand his expertise through advanced studies in music production. He first entered the professional music industry as a member of Revo Live Band and Grupo La Farra Hermanos Lozano, gaining valuable experience as a performer and entertainer.
His work with Revo Live Band earned him recognition as a two-time Tejano Music Award nominee. Throughout his career, Raul has appeared on notable television programs, including The Johnny and Nora Canales Show, Domingo Live, and Vallevisión. He has traveled internationally to perform at private events, festivals, clubs, and special engagements, sharing stages and collaborating with respected artists such as Siggno, Kumbia Kingz, Roberto Pulido, Tony Guerrero of La Sombra, and C-Styles.
While his career began with a focus on singing and recording, Raul's passion has evolved into a deep appreciation for the entire music creation process. Today, he is dedicated to producing music from concept to completion, overseeing songwriting, arrangement, recording, editing, mixing, and production. His goal is to create music that captures emotions, memories, and authentic experiences while helping other artists bring their creative visions to life. Beyond music, Raul has developed a diverse professional background with experience in automotive sales, retail, hospitality, tourism, and education.
He has worked as a Night Auditor in the hospitality industry and currently serves as a paraprofessional in education. These experiences have strengthened his communication, leadership, and people-centered skills, all of which contribute to his approach as an artist, producer, and mentor.

Inspiration
My inspiration for this track comes from many of the musical genres I listen to daily like Hip-Hop, Pop, and New-Age music. This track incorporates electronic and acoustic-sounding instruments to appeal to more listeners. This could work well for rap beats, in-menu video game music, and commercial music for television and radio advertisements.
Rhythm/Bass
The rhythmic aspects of both sections are based on common time backbeat rhythms but have different feels because of the change in tempo. The first section uses electronic drums and is slower and calmer, while the second section has acoustic drums that are faster and incorporate an extra snare hit at the “and” of 4. Both bass parts are synth based but differ in that the second section has more movement in range and arrangement for a lighter, memorable and cheerful groove.
Harmony/Melody
Section one is in the key of E flat minor and uses 3 diatonic minor chords and one diminished chord: | Ebm | Bbm | Gb | Fº. The second section is in the key of D major made up of 4 diatonic chords: | D | A | G | Em. The chords in the first section sound mysterious, gloomy, and sour opposite to the second section which sounds jolly and welcoming. The first section rises and falls melodically and sounds spacious, warm, and distant as opposed to the second section’s drier, note-bending electric guitar. The melody for the second section has a stronger motif while both do create an arch-shaped melody.
Recording/Synth/Sampler
My audio recording (tracks 200 & 201) is a recording of myself clapping as a percussive addition to create more groove and contrast within both sections. My original synths (tracks 195 & 197) was created using Sculpture and are heard in the chord progression and bass part of the second section. The sampler is the melody for section two (track 199) sampled from an Apple loop electric guitar.
Processing
My dynamic effects were simple additions to create space and presence for each instrument/sound. I added a compressor to my hi-hats (tracks 85 & 110), and channel eq on my sampler guitar (track 199) including almost all of the other tracks. Both of my time-based effects are my reverb (bus 26) on the snare 2 (track 68) for texture and imaging and my chorus (bus 27) on the bass 2 (track 195) for more low-end width and weight.

Lyrics:
A Verse 1
I gave you my heart
Right from the start
But you made it hard
Then we fell apart
Don’t know what to do
Between me and you
So I play it cool
Still Iook like a fool
Bridge
Let me go
Or let me know
If you wanna stay
Then with me you got a place
Chorus
Do you like this
Do you like that
Cause I want you
I need you real bad
Baby bring it right back
Verse 2
Falling for you
Imaging you
Right next to me
Perfect as can we be
Swear that your love for me
Is like ecstasy
What else can I do to have you stay with me?
Chorus 2
Chorus
Do you like this
Do you like that
Cause I want you
I need you real bad
Baby bring it right back
