Finding my Rhythm

I love so many genres: pop, rock, EDM, R&B, 80s hits; you name it. But if I had to pick just one, it would be Latin music.

I grew up surrounded by it. Before there were playlists, I would always listen to my mom and aunt’s CD collection, which included: boleros, cumbias, canciones románticas, merengue, and 80’s music.

I didn’t appreciate their music much back then because all I wanted was to listen to the most popular stuff on the radio. Eventually, I started listening to Latin music on my own and found my own musical identity.

I became a fan of Ricardo Arjona, Nek, Elefante, Shakira, Sin Bandera, and Mana, just to name a few. From there, I began searching for other artists with similar styles.

Their early CD collections shaped my love for music and gave me a deep appreciation for the various styles I listen to and compose today. For that reason, Latin music will always hold a special place in my heart.
