Lj ugarte was born January 6th, 1981 in Brooklyn, New York. Captivated by the Arts from the early age of five, Lj began singing, taking dance and acting classes. His skill and talent developed over the years fueled by taking ballet. During his admittance into the Ballet Hispanical Dance Company, he was able to master the arts even more, enjoying every moment.
He embraced every opportunity to develop and diversify his love for arts within the entertainment field. This was a wonderful time for Lj. His family later moved to West Palm Beach, Florida. In 1997 Lj attended Palm Beach Lakes High school where he vigorously continued to study Acting. He excelled as an Actor both on stage and in front of the Camera using Sanford Meisner’s master technique. In addition he continued his study of dance and in his senor year he had the chance to perform for the Florida Stage company in the production of “Gun play”.
Lj later attended Keiser college in the study of computer graphic designing and imaging, between college he was working on starting his music career as a vocalist and songwriter following college he began concentrating on his skills performing professionally at large venues with local artists at various nightclubs throughout the United States and Canada. He is currently in the process of writing and producing his own music with an eye toward much success within the mainstream of the Music industry.
With his 90’s and millennium R&B moves and his braided hair vibe, LJ Ugarte's debut single, wore its old school on its sleeve. In the course of two singles, LJ has vaulted from wanting to re-create the mood of vintage soul to wanting to make his own combination of Maxwell and Eric Benet These two singles mark the return of the retro-soul movement that began taking shape several years ago.
LJ is aiming to return soul to a headier, more opulent era. Some new Hip Hop and R&B artist revel in a sometimes brazen, sometimes vulgar fusion of hip-hop and old-school-soul pleading. LJ aspires to bring more candlelight, positivity, and sonic luxuriousness to modern R&B. I Believe In Love and Gambling Girl makes good on those intentions. LJ places his songs and malleable croon on a plush bed of lightly pulsating beats, wah-wah guitars, and caressing keyboards. A string section adds sensual accents; Latin inflections, like congas and the hint of salsa-fied horns, dart in and out. That said, you barely notice individual players. What LJ has created is the sound of a large, muted soul orchestra, with the singer's buttery, falsetto-leaning throat serving as just another instrument.
A sensitive, New Age soul man, LJ wants to make music for the bedroom and brain. He keeps his voice at a simmer; there's probably never been a more unassuming R&B singer. You can judge for yourself. You can check LJ out on his myspace page and listen to his music. You can also keep up with his budding film career. LJ is one to watch.

New Movie Darkness in Fear in Development 2012/2013
Apr 30, 2012
This is the First Film production Under Firecreek Entertainment in development for 2013 Starring Lj Ugarte and Richard Williams and Produced by Stephanie Velinova, Lj Ugarte, David Dino Wells - April 25, 2012 - New Horror Movie in development based on the short story written by entertainer Lj Ugarte and Directed by New Comer Benjamin Agee. Produced by Stephanie Velinova and Lj. Ugarte. The original idea was to make a film based on an abandon amusement park, but since a similar film was already made in 2010, the producers at Firecreek Entertainment and Odesos Stars production though it should be changed Working Title: Darkness In fear 120 years ago, in a small town, in a plantation field lived a group of Native American Indians on a hot, stormy summer. A group of unknown men entered the village seeking shelter. They turn out to be voodoo worshipers that began trading goods and gold, so they can earn the native trusts. The voodoo worshipers began to sacrifice the towns’ people in exchange for immortal life. As the village went into exile, the legends of the voodoo worshipers grew as the sounding town, until the late 60's when local towns’ men stumbled upon a cave and unleashed the evil by removing a stone with their shovels. That is when, all hell broke loose slowly and those living in town began to disappear as evil took over. Present Time 85 miles South of Hewclift University is where a group of ambitious college student and their professors are planning to embark on a week’s long trip to Washington DC for a science convention. Professor Sean Raymond though it would be an excellent idea to charter a bus and head up north for a road trip. When Professor Raymond though that it would be a great idea to take them through a scenic river route off the main highway, they made a strange detour through an open wooded area and the bus broke down near a small unknown town in the middle of nowhere. With no reception for theircell phones or WI -FI for their IPads, they’re stranded with no communication and left with the outside world to deal with. They were forced to wonder around the abandoned, forgotten town in search for help. The curiosity got the best of the group and one by one each student begins to vanish in horrific deaths, but slowly the surviving students discover that, this was not an ordinary town. It was build years ago, on a Indian burial ground. Once they can reach an area where the WI-FI works they quickly, try to communicate with the police and reach out to anyone in the outside world. The professor regrettably begins to vent that the detour was a big mistake and that they should have stayed on the main road where they can communicate with police and seek local help. It was up to the professor and the last remaining student to fight for their lives and discover the truth that plagued this abandoned town for years.
