▷ Vers-H Man | Reggaetón, dancehall (Cuba)

 

Hector Frank Mantecon Rodriguez, known by his stage name VAs-H Man, was born on March 23, 2001, in Pedro Betancourt, Cuba. Passionate about music and art from a young age, he grew up in modest conditions, surrounded by his mother and brother, but filled with joy and love. At 9, he discovered wrestling, though it was at 13 that he began singing, influenced by a close friend, a respected Christian singer. In 2018, he moved to Canada, where he wrote his first song and shot a music video with artist Rey Jonerque. The support of his uncle, a classical musician and hip-hop enthusiast, helped him shape his unique style. In 2019, he traveled to Mexico and contributed to projects like Anestecia and Dios Rapea. A second trip to Allende in 2023 marked a turning point in his career, with the recording of the La Machine Gun video, where he adopted a distinctive look, thanks to a white tejano hat gifted by Emilio Paras. On December 22, 2023, he released his EP QALIDAD ft. Nico ADN, featuring five diverse tracks. VAs-H Man aims for his music to resonate globally, helping his family and others. Now based in Montreal, he is focused on his music career and personal growth. With 26 demos ready for 2024, he remains committed to quality and dreams of becoming an influential local artist while promoting the talents of his hometown worldwide.
