    Thank you all for taking the time to read. I recently sent an email telling a brief backstory of how “Dime Qué Será de Ti” came to be:

    I thought it would be a good idea to post for everyone else to read as well.

    For those interested, read on.

    After months of writer’s block and feeling as if I had lost my musical inspiration, I woke around 2AM one night — the notes of a piano echoing through my mind. I immediately looked around for something to record on, the only thing I had on me was my iPad… so having to make due, I opened a downloaded piano app and let the melody guide my fingers. I composed through the night, not pausing, chasing the inspiration, until I had completed a rough sketch of the song.

    That moment became the heart of “Dime Qué Será de Ti.”

    I was able to translate the song into English (Tell Me Why) and began working with Abraham Armell in 2023. I loved his vocal rendition of my song so that is why I released “Tell Me Why” first.

    🎧 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.
