Bio

Judy Santos and Marlyn Jimenez are taking bachata to new heights! This exceptional New York based female duo, Girlz Talk, is here to achieve the similar levels of success acquired by male artists within the bachata community. “There is no female representation in the urban bachata industry, and who other to do it, than two veterans who have the experience, talent and know how?”
Girlz Talk is consistently in the studio developing and shaping a fresh, new sound that is sure to catch the attention of many. Latin Billboard award winner and former member of Aventura, Toby Love, has been backing up and fully supporting Girlz Talk since the group’s conception, in fact, Girlz Talk is currently gearing up to become the official opening act for Toby Love’s show. You can hear about Girlz talk on Toby Love’s Reloaded DVD.
In 2001 Judy Santos was introduced to Latin Grammy nominated group Aventura. Judy’s incredible voice caught the attention of lead singer Anthony “Romeo” Santos, who immediately featured her on their mega-hit single Obsesion. Some say that Judy’s flawless performance on Obsesion helped pave the way for Aventura’s successful run in the music industry. Her intense, yet sweet and angelic vocals, were also featured on two other Aventura songs; La Guerra and Angelito, both of which were chart topping hits. The music world needed no more proof that Judy has what it takes to capture the hearts of the masses in song.
Marlyn Jimenez has been singing since the tender age of 11 years old. In the summer of 2002 Jimenez was introduced to Arjelis y su Grupo NV, who at that time were in search of a new vocalist. A few months later Jimenez joined them and immediately fit in. The group became one of the top acts of Alternative Bachata in 2003 with their mega- hit single Don’t Speak, a brilliant remake of No Doubt’s chart topping song. Marlyn’s exceptional vocal performance on Don’t Speak gained the attention and support from some of New York’s most popular DJ’s, including Johnny Famolari, Nori Cotto, DJ Fresh , Alex Sensation and Polito Vega. Little did Marlyn know that this was just the beginning of a successful run in her career in music.
n April of 2003 Jimenez and Santos combined their talents on stage during Aventura’s La Guerra single release party. The girl’s performance of the song “Por Un Rato” received rave reviews from those who attended that night, the crowd was blown away! The artistic chemistry of the girls on stage was clearly evident on that day. In 2006 the brilliant idea of Jimenez and Santos working together was introduced to them by their manager, Gilberto Vidal who also manages the successful career of Sony recording artist Toby Love.
Girlz Talk is currently in the studio with Scarlito Entertainment super producer, “SP” (who has produced hits for Notch, Xtreme, and Toby Love, among others) laying down the foundation for their up coming release which is bound to be a staple in the Bachata industry.
