Since 1994, Urban Latino Magazine has created exposure for various important Latino figures, making ULM a platform for rising careers. Ninety-nine covers ago, a young John Leguizamo made his debut as the first cover story for the magazine - subsequent covers featured Lauren Velez, Marc Anthony, Zoe Saldana, Rosario Dawson and Shakira just to name a few. The acclaimed lifestyle and cultural publication, caters to the English-speaking Hispanic market, between the ages of 18 – 38. It was the first magazine to speak directly to this demographic, paving the way for others. The focus of Urban Latino is to capture the Latino experience in this country, viewing all sides of our story. The writers and contributors are Latinos who have lived and experienced this diverse culture. ULM continues to showcase the achievements of our community through high quality editorial and photography.
Casting agent, director and producer, “Uly” is the face of Urban Latino’s 100th issue, “I met Uly on the set of the film Destination Unknown almost twenty years ago and his motivation has never slowed down. I’ve followed his career and I’ve always known nothing can slow him down and he embodies what Urban Latino is all about an idea that can become something big," says Jorge.
Just like the humble beginnings of Urban Latino Magazine, cover story Ulyssess Terrero had a long journey before he became the renowned filmmaker that he is today. The Ulyssess always had an eye for entertainment, he began his career as an extra in the movie Juice, he even tapped in to the rapping world - it wasn’t until he teamed up with his brother (Jessy Terrero) and decided to become casting directors for film projects. Terrero then went from casting to directing and producing, he has worked with international artists like Enrique Iglesias, Ludacris, Mary J. Blige, 50 Cent, Nas, LL Cool J, Ciara, Sean Paul, and much more. Today he is the co-founder of Terrero Brothers Film, an innovative full service production company which produces music videos, cutting edge commercials, and documentaries for all markets. Ulyssess Terrero would like to not only push the boundaries of creativity but also nurture new young filmmakers, helping them find their voices and cultivate a unique vision.
