Velasquez grew up attending church and her parents were singers. Her mother has Mexican ancestry; From both sides of her family, Velasquez also has Spanish, French, Jewish, Scottish, and Arabic ancestry.[1] When she was ten years old, her parents sold their Houston home and dedicated themselves to touring the United States with their Christian music. It was while on the road that she was discovered by a representative of Myrrh Records.
In 1995, Velasquez sang at an Alvin, Texas church (ESMIRNA) where she met Mauricio Ruiz, a local immigration consultant, as well as his wife, Flora Ruiz. They made a large contribution in support of Velasquez and her parents. This helped her and her family to travel the United States and launch her singing career.
Velasquez released her first CD album in 1996, and five of the songs on that CD became #1 hits, the album was later certified Platinum. She has since released six English-language albums, two of which were certified Gold. She has produced 16 #1 Christian radio hits and six other top 10 singles. She has won 7 Dove awards including New Artist of the Year and 2 Female Vocalist of the Year nods. In 1998, she signed to Sony Latin and was introduced to Rudy Perez, who produced her 1st Spanish language crossover album Llegar a Ti. After that, Velasquez was able to achieve the crossover appeal she desired, building a fan base among Hispanics as well as other Americans. Her Latin music success includes 4 Spanish language releases, 3 #1 Latin Billboard Singles, 2 Platinum albums, a Premio Lo Nuestro Award for New Artist of the Year and 2 Billboard Latin Music Awards. Velasquez was given a chance in 2002 to act in her first Hollywood movie, Chasing Papi. As well as Velasquez, this movie featured Sofia Vergara, Puerto Rico's Roselyn Sanchez and Mexico's Eduardo Verastegui, as well as Nicole Scherzinger in a cameo role; it was released nationwide in the United States in April 2003. The movie reached as high as #11 at the box office and grossed $6 million in total. Velasquez has appeared in over 50 magazines and sang for President George W. Bush multiple times.
On August 16, 2003, Velasquez married Darren Potuck, band member of AutoVaughn, who is from Goshen, Indiana. They were married under two years when divorce papers were filed. Attempts to get the public records of the divorce have been unsuccessful.
Velasquez communicated with Christian radio, asking for prayers for emotional and spiritual healing rather than speaking about the divorce in vivid detail as some listeners had hoped.
Velasquez appeared in the December 2003 issue of Right On! magazine, where editor Cynthia Horner called her, among other things, a true role model to teens.

De Creer En Ti
Jaci Velasquez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Manana el sol no vuelva a aparecer
Puede ser, que quizas
Lo que yo fui no puedan olvidar
Pero yo no perdere la fed ni dejare ...
De creer en ti, de creer en ti
De rodillas frente a ti voy a vivir
Puede ser, que el dolor
Un dia se convierta en amor
Puede ser, que al final
En ves de angustia todo sera paz
Cuando vensa el bien a la maldad quien dejara...
De creer en ti, de creer en ti
De rodillas frente a ti voy a vivir
Podras todo el dia acabar pero siempre, para siempre vivire por ti
Creere en ti, creere en ti
De rodillas frente a ti voy a vivir
Yo se que jamas dejare de creer en, oh, de creer en, de creer en ti...
The lyrics of Jaci Velasquez's song "De Creer En Ti" are filled with hope and perseverance. The opening lines of the song suggest that tomorrow the sun may not rise again, and that what the singer was in the past may not be forgotten by others. However, she refuses to lose faith and declares that she will continue to believe in God despite the uncertainties of the future. The song then goes on to talk about how even though there might be pain and suffering, there is a possibility that it will eventually turn into love and that the end result will be peace, with good triumphing over evil.
Throughout the song, the singer reaffirms her trust in God and declares that she will always believe in Him no matter what trials or tribulations she may face. The lyrics, combined with the upbeat and lively melody, create an inspiring and uplifting tone that encourages listeners to never give up, to embrace hope and faith, and to keep fighting no matter what obstacles may come their way.
