Brandy Lopez – Biography
San Antonio native, Brandy Lopez, stands at the forefront of the Latino entertainment industry, as the Executive Producer and Host of the extremely popular Internet and television program, Latin Fusion TV.
Latin Fusion TV reaches thousands of viewers each week, delivering artist interviews, entertainment news, information and heartwarming human interest stories to a worldwide audience. Latin Fusion TV is both spiritual and inspirational and highlights people not parties.
Brandy began her acting career in school plays starting at the age of five. She appeared in her first television commercial when she was 11 and has worked in both English and Spanish speaking soap operas.
After a 10 year hiatus, Brandy returned to her roots in the entertainment industry, with a commercial for the 15th Annual Tejano Music Awards. All the while, Brandy dreamt of her own television program.
In 2006, Brandy worked as a special radio correspondent for her friend and producer of the Tejano Classic Radio Show, Bobby Lopez.
That same year, Brandy’s dream became a reality and Tejano Classic TV debuted at the Tejano Academy Awards in San Antonio, Texas.
Tejano Classic TV covered the Inaugural Cinco De Mayo celebration in Sumter, South Carolina. In a collaborative effort with city and military officials, Brandy paved the way for Tejano entertainment to reach stationed troops in the surrounding area.
Brandy ventured into uncharted territory with the only broadcast of its kind in San Antonio, and quickly became one of the most visible media personalities in the Latino market.
In 2007, Brandy co-hosted 27th Annual Tejano Music Awards, the Tejano Academy Awards and, later that year, presented at the Tejano Roots Hall of Fame Ceremony in Alice, Texas.
After two years, Brandy realized there was a greater void to fill and created Latin Fusion TV to highlight more than just Tejano entertainment, but the growing and exciting Latino cultural market. Latin Fusion TV highlights Hispanic and mainstream events locally and in the surrounding San Antonio area.
It is apparent that Brandy and Latin Fusion TV’s reach extends beyond Tejano music, as her influence as a Latina entertainer and host grows. During Hispanic Heritage Month, in 2007, Brandy was a guest speaker at Shaw Air Force Base in South Carolina where she was honored with a plaque by city and military officials and handed a “Key to the City” by Sumter’s Mayor and South Carolina’s state senator.
Despite the success of her show, Brandy continues to pursue new endeavors in the television and entertainment industry.
Known for her vibrant personality and captivating charm, Brandy is now in popular demand as a host and participant in various community and charitable events. Brandy has covered the San Antonio Christmas Parade and actress Eva Longoria’s Celebrity Golf Tournament among other events. Brandy has sung the National Anthem – twice – for former San Antonio Spur and NBA Hall of Famer, George “Iceman” Gervin.
She recently hosted Hair Story 2008, an event that featured top Hollywood celebrity stylists and models presenting their latest creations. In 2009, Brandy co-hosted the Power of Image ’09.
Currently, Brandy sits on the board of San Antonio Kids Exchange (SAKE) and the San Antonio Film Council (SAFC) and is involved with the AIDS Foundation among many other local organizations.
Brandy strives to entertain while making a difference in the lives of her viewing audience. Her family-friendly broadcasts are filled with diverse entertainment, great music and informative interviews. More importantly, however, is the message of hope, faith and charity that Brandy presents by her life, actions and TV show.
She receives her inspiration from the positive feedback sent via email from across the United States and as far away as Italy, Alaska and troops in the Middle East.
With enthusiasm, Brandy welcomes the future of Latin Fusion TV and states: “I truly believe we walk by faith and not by sight and I thank everyone who continues to stand by me on this journey. Together we can reach for the stars!” Brandy Lopez
