Yaire (born Yaidelice Monrouzeau) is a singer-songwriter from Puerto Rico.

Biography

Daughter of the Puerto Rican pianist and one man band, Eloy Monrouzeau, Yaire, entered the music industry at an early age, where she spent several years writing and composing for numerous mainstays in the latin industry, eventually winning a writing award from ASCAP for the 1993 Olga Tañon hit, Mujer de Fuego. Yaire soon became a performer herself, making her singing debut in Voces en Función, and then, releasing a debut album, Formas de Vida, in 1998. Soon after she moved to Madrid, Spain, where she resides today, and from where she did the the work on her three follow up albums: 2001's Yaire, a commercial success that spawned several radio and video hits; 2002's ...Donde Me Lleve El Viento; and 2005's Volver A Nacer.[1]

Yaire is still writing and composing today, but the lackluster performance of her last two albums has left a bitter taste in her mouth. In June of 2006, she gave an interview to Primera Hora, a Puerto Rican newspaper, wherein she lamented the state of the latin music industry, which she believes neglects musicians and puts profit above art. Because of these factors, she is unsure if she'll record another album, although she has compiled enough material for at least two.[2]
