DEWAR'S® Blended Scotch Whisky is proud to announce the official 100th issue release celebration for Urban Latino Magazine! On Tuesday, March 27th, 2012,  DEWAR'S - the #1 selling premium scotch in the United States - will host the exclusive soirée at Rooftop 760, situated in the heart of New York's Time Square. Celebrities, tastemakers and press will be expected for this night of celebration.  


Co-founder and Publisher, Jorge Cano-Moreno felt that DEWAR'S would be the ideal fit to collaborate and celebrate this publishing milestone “They’ve used the market dollar not only to push their product but to empower the Latino community as well,” says the publisher. 
 
The 100th cover story goes to renowned casting agent, director and producer, Ulysses Terrero. Terrero will be in the building –not only to celebrate his recognition but to host the event as well. Legendary mixtape king, Tony Touch who is known for fusing hip hop and Latin influences – will be the official MC for the night, along with other special guest DJs. 







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.

Co-founder and Publisher, Jorge Cano-Moreno is honored to witness the longevity of the magazine and the positive affect it has in today’s society. Cano-Moreno’s credibility within this industry made him a sought after public speaker on a variety of media and entertainment topics. He’s been a guest speaker at many leading universities, such as Albany University, Boston College, University of Florida, Columbia University, and NYU’s Stern School of Business, among many others. He has participated on various panels ranging from, NAMIC (National Association for Multi-Ethnicity in Communications), NGLC (New Generation Latino Consortium), LAMC (Latino Music Conference), the Latin Rap Conference and ASPIRA. Cano-Moreno even appeared on CNN during the Kyra Phillips show discussing Latino Trends in Hollywood in 2011. Aside from his special appearances, Jorge developed a Marketing/PR Company called, Urban Lifestyle Media, LLC. ULM, LLC provides marketing solutions to clients who seek to brand, grow and promote their brands by creating customized integrated multiplatform programs. His client list includes: NY Jets, Eddie Palmieri, Maya Films, Dewar’s, Sofrito, Sazon, Copacabana, Marvel Entertainment to name a few.

Hey Guys,

Uyy Alex Sensation que papi! Lol.

Alex Sensation!!
So Jess and I were part of entertainment history! On Tuesday, March 1, 2011 Johnnie Walker Black Label announced its unique partnership with media personality ALEX SENSATION! The event took place at Latin Quarters, New York City. Jess and I were super excited to work this exclusive event and witness this Latino history!  We were very honored that he took the time chat with us in the VIP area…he even showed Scene Stealers some love (check out the drop)!  Amongst the crowd,  was one of my other fave personalities L.Boogs from MTVtr3s /Hot 97. It’s good to see Latinos supporting one another!

with L.Boogs
Not only will Alex Sensation be featured in Johnnie Walker’s latest outdoor advertising campaign, but will also provide the voice for Johnnie Walker Black Label’s radio spots and most importantly host a series of exclusive VIP events in the tri-state area for his preferred brand of scotch whisky! With this endorsement deal he will be doing a lot more television…and not to mention extra $$$$$ in his bank account lol

Here is a little bit about his papi ;)
  • He is New York City’s top Latin DJ! Alex Sensation
  • He was born in Bogota, Colombia!
  • He works for the Hispanic radio station with the highest ratings, La Mega 97.9 FM. (You can listen to him Monday through Friday 11AM – 3PM and Saturdays 8PM – 12 AM.)
Us with Alex Sensation!
Alex has always determined to succeed!  He started out at the Copacabana, where he was by a programming director for Amor93.1 FM. They offered him a job as a mixer, which Alex took and he remained at the station for about a year and a half until it renamed itself to Latino Mix. Six months after that switch, he was offered a job as the main mixer of a segment called “La Mega Mezcla del Mediodía” on La Mega 97.9 FM, where he remains today.

Alex is a person who has stayed true to who he is and has made sure to give back to the community. He is heavily involved various charities. He also participates every year in the Puerto Rican and Dominican Parades, as well as Colombian festivals. He has also taken his talent to countries such as Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Columbia, Canada, Spain, Italy, Argentina, Ecuador, Mexico, Uruguay and Aruba.

I can’t wait to see how this event turns out. One thing I realized about this industry which is always stay true…like Alex told us, “Stay Humble!”

What's up!

Alex Sensation doing his thing!
So the past few weeks we've been busily preparing for a huge event, that  was hugely successful!! Urban Lifestyle Media helped executed Johnnie Walker's Conquista La Noche event at LQ's on Tuesday, March 1st.

This event was historic. Johnnie Walker coordinated this event to celebrate a very special announcement involving Colombian DJ, Alex Sensation from La Mega 97.9FM. Johnnie Walker names Alex Sensation the first Latino spokesperson for the Black Label brand in the tri-state. 

The Crowd at LQs
Alex Sensation is definitely considered one of the most influential Latinos in the NY/NJ community, so its no wonder Johnnie Walker chose him. He's one of the most hardworking DJs out, which no doubt got him noticed by Johnnie Walker in the first place.

Besides becoming the new face of Johnnie Walker's Black Label, stay tuned to catch Alex Sensation honing his television presence. He plans on embarking on a new journey to become a television personality. 

VIP baby!
Alex Sensation is definitely proof that if you work hard and dream big...it'll all pay off.
