BIOGRAFIA
Jose Angel Chairez Jr., nace un 7 de octubre del año 1979 en San Jose de Reyes, municipio de Simon Bolivar, Durango, Mexico. Hijo de padres campesinos, Jose Angel Chairez Casas y Patricia Esquivel Cervantes, el ultimo de cuatro hermanos, nace con una discapicidad fisica pero con un gran don el cual compensaria su deficiencia. Invidente de nacimiento y desde muy pequeño, el niño mostraba inclinacion por la musica. Inclusive su madre platica que antes que poder hablar, balbuseaba estrofas de cansiones. Dos años mas tarde, con caserolas y otros utensilios de la cocina, Jose Angel jugaba a ser un cantante famaso. A la edad de cinco años, canto por primera ves ya acompañado por un conjunto, en la boda de unos amigos de la familia. Otro niño en su lugar, se hubiese asustado al estar ante tanta gente, pero el en cambio, hizo su interpretacion de principio a fin como todo un professional. A los siete años de edad, su padre, con sacrificios le regala su primera guitarra. Contento con su primer instrumento musical real, el pequeño quiso tomar clases con un musico local. Dicha persona se rehuso a enseñarlo alegando que debido a la discapacidad del niño era imposible que el aprendiera alguna postura en la guitarra. Este comentario, lejos de desalentar a Jose Angel, le brindo mas fuerza para perseguir su sueño de ser un gran musico.

Radio Ratingz - Tempranito ratings Dj's Jose Angel Chairez & Victor Gonzales
“Contarlo es una cosa, verlo, es verdaderamente sorprendente. El lo hace todo, identifica los CD’s, los equipos los maneja como si los estuviera viendo. . . ‘el sentido que me permite ver es una bendición de Dios’, nos contó durante una charla en la que simultáneamente anunciaba comerciales, hablaba con los oyentes y les complacía musicalmente.”
Martín Alonso Aragón (La Opinion Hispana) - Con José Angel Chairez La Radio No Se Ve Se Escucha
“JOSE ANGEL CHAIREZ, with Greenville's Spanish language radio station WGVL was the featured voice at the remote. He is the radio celebrity heard each morning on TEMPRANITO. His golden tone over the airwaves brought the community to O'Reilly's for the gift and literature eplaining how used motor oil should be receycled. More that 60 pans were distributed over a two hour period.”
Conservation Digest Greenville CO. Soil & Water Conservation District - Spreding the Word in All Languages to Protect Greenville's Water Quality
“Chairez worked as a television talk-show host for a small Spanish station in
Dalton, Ga., before moving to Greenville this summer with his wife and young
son.
They relocated here for Mrs. Chairez's job at WGVL and for the opportunity to
try something new.
Chairez's new opportunity came when his wife invited him to come to the station
and say a few words during her show.
Chairez, who speaks little English, likens his work at the radio station to a
hobby. His profession, he said, is a musician, singer, and producer.
Chairez was born blind and "with an intuition toward music," he said through
his wife's interpretation.”
