A celebrated performer with a career spanning decades, Lupe Aguilar’s journey is a testament to resilience, independence, and artistic passion. Born into a musical family, her father, Pepe Aguilar, was an aspiring opera singer who moved their family to New York City after auditioning for The Metropolitan Opera House. Despite the challenges they faced, this relocation proved fortuitous for Lupe, who immersed herself in music, singing in choirs and glee clubs throughout her school years.
Following her studies at the High School of Art and Design, Lupe’s adventurous spirit took her across the U.S. and Mexico before she eventually settled in Houston, Texas. There, she worked as a background singer for Baba Thomas and The Light Men, a jazz group, before moving to California, where she continued to pursue her musical career.
Throughout the late 1970s and 1980s, Lupe showcased her talents as a background vocalist for War, Roy Ayers, and HB Barnum (Aretha Franklin’s arranger). She later joined the girl group CLASS before becoming a member of TREASURE, a group that caught the attention of industry veteran Robert Walker. Walker, who had worked in Barry White’s A&R department, collaborated with songwriter and lyricist Flery Bursey, who was also a member of TREASURE. Recognising the group’s potential, Walker introduced their music to White, who was immediately impressed. But after creative differences emerged, White returned the masters with a powerful gesture, saying: “Well then, consider this a gift”.
Fast forward to November 2024, when Lupe was introduced to Karl KC Cousin at Studio 204 in Las Vegas by her close friend Audrey King Lewis. This meeting wasn’t just a chance encounter—it was the beginning of a long-overdue musical revival. With decades of experience and passion between them, Lupe and KC embarked on a journey to bring these lost recordings to life, fusing history with modern production techniques.
The result is an extraordinary project that not only pays homage to the past but also redefines the Cuban born, Lupe Aguilar’s legacy for a new generation. Stay tuned for the official release of “Dreamin'” on 11th April, 2025 and experience the magic of music that has stood the test of time.
