PERFECT FOR PRE-K THROUGH 2ND GRADE.

José is a rare talent, blending opera and mariachi bolero into truly mesmerizing performances. His vocal range and power have been described as spine‑tingling, leaving audiences breathless. He was nominated for the Governor’s Individual Heritage Award in 2015 and named a Latin Music Artist by Univision in 2016.

At his ENCANTO concerts in Seattle’s Benaroya Hall, José and his fellow artists take listeners on a cultural journey, pairing opera arias and classical piano with mariachi bolero. His community leadership has earned him numerous honors, including the Central Washington University Leader‑Under‑40 Award (2017), an honorary Seattle Metropolitan Latino Chamber of Commerce Leader Award (2018), and the Mid‑Columbia Libraries & Tri‑Cities Latino Community Network Latino Leader Award (2019). In 2020, he was recognized by STSGE for bringing “Concierto Novideño” to the Catedral Basílica in Colima, Mexico. In 2022, the Conservatorio de Música del Estado de Puebla honored him for bringing ENCANTO to Puebla as their first live public concert post‑COVID. In 2023, he was acknowledged by the Governor of Colima, and in 2024, Seattle Magazine named him one of the 25 most influential people in the Puget Sound.  José’s dedication to education is equally impressive. He has established four Iniguez Family Scholarship Endowments (at Columbia Basin College, Central Washington University, Eastern Washington University, and Wenatchee Valley College), and uses proceeds from his concerts to help students reach higher education. His work has been featured on PBS and continues to inspire.  As a teacher, José focuses on breathing technique, diaphragm work, and vocal mechanics, especially for bass and lower‑voiced students — a distinct and valuable specialization.
