With a career spanning more than 20 years, Raymond Acevedo (a.k.a. "RAIMUND") has a dramatically vivid music history to draw from... A former member of the 80's Latin singing sensation, Menudo, he's since harnessed that invaluable international experience to develop an impressive professional portfolio, ranging from off-Broadway productions to sophisticated songwriting and beyond with cross-culture appeal.

In 1999, Raymond met fellow writer, Aurelio Laing III - the two soon pooled their collective talents and began writing lyrics and music for themselves, resulting in the ultimate inception of Afterworld Records. During the winter of 2000, a San Antonio recording studio became the breeding ground for their first album, "Amor Oculto," and the much anticipated release came to fruition in May 2001. Collaborating with fellow bandmates, Enrique Palacios and Nathan Slimane, on yet another successful project - an English alternative release, "Age of Anxiety" in 2004, unleashed a powerful realization that this undeniably talented 30-something quartet had quickly become among music's "best-kept-secrets." Just as he's talented in music, Raymond's also a skilled and accomplished Visual Artist as well. A second passion with an eye for intriguing charcoal drawings and captivating oil paintings, his art stems from a deep seeded intuition and was further enriched by attending the School of Visual Art in New York. While currently pursuing promotional opportunities in Brazil, Raymond's been working on a new series of paintings, which will be making their international debut on his official site within the month!

Through years of patience and perseverance, Raymond's resiliency, determination and personal growth have become the springboard to his illustrious career -- the launching of his professional website in 2005 catapulted awareness of his endeavors, generating a diverse and eclectic fan base while reigniting infinite former loyalties. More exciting changes can be expected in the not-so-distant future, including an intensely dynamic new website, new music and a few hidden surprises that are sure to be nothing shy of amazing!
