Jaime Hernandez’s chest is the fount of those melodic notes. Construction workers rest under the shade that the new building provides them during the lunchtime. Hernandez entertains his co-workers with his talent.

“I haven’t taken any classes at all. It has been like this all the time. My friends ask me to sing for them,” Hernandez said.

He is a welder from Guadalajara, Mexico, but has lived in the United States for two and a half years. Hernandez has 12 siblings and two of them live in the North Dallas area.
