TIJUANA – A month after three unknown Mexicali siblings posted their musical video of Adele's hit "Rolling in the Deep" on the Internet, they have signed with Sony Music and appear to be recording in San Diego County.

The video, published on Nov. 10, has nearly 12 million visits on YouTube as fans in Mexico, the United States and Europe share it through social media.

The video made instant celebrities of the three Vázquez siblings -- Abelardo, 15, who plays piano and guitar; drummer Gustavo, 13; and Ángela, whose powerful voice belies her ten years of age.

The new celebrities, who go by the name of Vazquez Sounds, have music in their blood. Their father, Abelardo Vázquez, is a prominent arranger and producer who "discovered" the Mexican pop band Reik and rock group Nikki Clan and signed them to Sony Music.

In the days after his kids' video became a YouTube sensation, Vázquez insisted that they would focus on school, only posting one new video a month.

It appears that school will have to wait, at least for a while.

Last weekend, the giant Televisa network presented them at the end of their annual telethon, seen by millions across Mexico and in the United States.

Then Sony Music announced that it had signed the trio to a recording contract.

"Sonymusicmexico will take our music to the whole world. We'll take care of the rest," the siblings wrote on their Twitter account @VazquezSounds.

In other postings they said they were recording in San Diego County, though offered no details. They may be working locally with Kiko Cibrian, who has collaborated with their father in producing Reik and Latin American superstar Luis Miguel.
