About Me |
|
| Shalim Ortiz was recently in Panama where he was shooting the feature film “Art of Travel,” costarring Brooke Burns, Chris Masterson, and Johnny Messner. He released his first film as a lead titled “Spin”, in which he performs the title song on the soundtrack (‘Rosario’). He also wrapped filming on his first leading role in a foreign language film titled “Yuniol”, which was filmed in the Dominican Republic. This is the first time Shalim and his renowned mother Charytin Goyco work together professionally in a feature film.
Shalim was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico on February 26, 1982. At an early age he moved to Miami, Florida where he developed his skills in music and acting. He later joined the Thespian Society of Performing Arts and developed a passion for theater. Before completing elementary school, he had already been part of a much successful television show called "Los Angelitos" (Little Angels). His desire to branch out led him to take on projects as a guest host in various shows ("Evolution", "Pepsi Charts", etc.), and in modeling.
Theater has always played a main role in Shalim’s life, and this is why he took on the lead role on Oliver Mayer’s much acclaimed cabaret musical titled ‘Rocio in Spite of it all’. The prestigious L.A. Times hailed Shalim’s performance saying: “silken-voiced Shalim steals several scenes as a dazzled fan who befriends these dueling divas”.
Shalim's real passion lays in music, as well as acting. He dedicated himself to write and become a renowned recording artist, delivering two productions (Sony Records) combining his Spanish roots with Latin beats and influences from rock and ballads, which were part of the music he grew up with.
After spending two years in Spain cultivating his artistic muse, the Puerto Rican singer/songwriter returned with Cuarto Sin Puerta, a sterling collection of infectious, hip-swaying confessionals that underscores his rapidly maturing creativity. He is currently working on his awaited third production, which he is sharing with some renowned producers from his first album with the goal of going back to his musical roots.
Parallel with Shalim's music career, he has also guest-starred on several acting roles on network t.v. shows such as "Lizzie McGuire", "S-Club 7", and Disney’s “Cory in the House” among others. This led Shalim to begin fulfilling his dream of combining his two passions of music and acting.
Shalim currently finds himself working as a lead on his first supernatural thriller ‘Gurdian’, as well as contributing to the score and soundtrack of his upcoming projects.
Shalim is currently working as a lead on Dan Neiras feature film Spin. Hes also attached to several independent features, which will debut towards the end of next year, as well as his new upcoming musical production. |
