    The light that guided me

    Share a story about someone who had a positive impact on your life.

    One person who had a profoundly positive impact on my life is my mom. Growing up, it was always just the two of us, and through every challenge, I watched her work tirelessly, lifting others with her kindness and never asking for anything in return. 

    She’s been one of my greatest inspirations, the one who believed in me even when I struggled to believe in myself. Because of her, I came to realize that some dreams are worth fighting for.

    🎧 First Listen: Why I’m Reviewing Music

    Welcome to the first post on the Montecruz Music review section.

    As an artist, I know what it takes to write a song that means something — something honest, emotional, or raw. I’ve spent years creating music from the heart, and along the way, I’ve realized something else: I love listening just as much as I love creating.

    This space is where I’ll be sharing my thoughts on the songs and artists that move me — whether it’s a lyric that sticks in your head, a beat that shifts your mood, or a performance that says everything without saying much at all.

    Here’s what you can expect from this review section:

    • Unfiltered takes on new releases and hidden gems
    • Emotional breakdowns of lyrics and production
    • Shoutouts to independent artists doing incredible work
    • Reviews in both English and Spanish, depending on the track

    My goal? To spotlight music that deserves to be heard — and to build a space where music lovers and music makers meet.

    Whether you’re here as a listener or a fellow artist, I’m glad you stopped by.
    Let’s listen deeply. Let’s feel something real.

    More reviews coming soon.
