I was born in the beautiful, tropical country of Honduras, a small nation located in Central America, bordering Guatemala, El Salvador, and Nicaragua, where my mother’s family is originally from. I’m part Brazilian as well from my father’s side but my brothers and I were all born in Honduras where my parents met. In all … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 156: Growing Up In Two Different Cultures

500 WORDS, DAY 151: Musical Journey: Rapping, Software, Hardware, Modular
I started making music on FL Studio back in 2010/2011. Well… actually, that’s not true. I started making music on a program called Acoustica Mixcraft. Looking back now it’s definitely not a professional DAW in the same way the well-known ones are, but I was able to do what I needed on it, and what … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 151: Musical Journey: Rapping, Software, Hardware, Modular
500 WORDS, DAY 130: A Hip-Hop Legend
If there’s one thing I’ve been doing for a long time, and that I enjoy and know how to do, it’s listening to music. I’ve been a longtime listener of music of all genres by all kinds of artists. Sometimes I listen to random albums, but mostly I listen to artists’ full discographies from beginning … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 130: A Hip-Hop Legend
500 WORDS, DAY 101: Separating Art & Artist?
I always knew that the entertainment world was probably full of weirdos, and to be honest that didn’t surprise me because, as an artist, I find myself pretty weird as well, and I can tell that a lot of artists are very unique people who like to make their own rules. I’ve previously written about … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 101: Separating Art & Artist?
500 WORDS, DAY 93: Growing Up: Hip-Hop, Psychedelics
Yesterday I wrote about the great extent in which hip-hop and its culture influenced me when I was a lot younger, even if not always positively. That influence has been with me up to this point, but just recently it’s starting to really feel like my mind and personality have changed enough that I can … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 93: Growing Up: Hip-Hop, Psychedelics
500 WORDS, DAY 91: Changes
I have changed a lot over the years. There’s a lot I’d like to do that I haven’t accomplished yet, and there are a lot of changes I am still struggling to make, but I can definitely say I am happy with some of the changes I’ve implemented in my life up to this point, … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 91: Changes
500 WORDS, DAY 61: Music is Magic
Music is something truly magical. It’s always been crazy to me how something like a chord progression or a drum rhythm can make you feel a certain way. The way certain instruments sound as well, like a beautiful saxophone or string solo in a song, is just heavenly. It can put you at ease and … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 61: Music is Magic
NEWEST ELECTRONIC EP RELEASE: ‘born to run’
Just like my other recent EP release, it's alive, this newest one, ‘born to run’, consists of a short collection of live jams. These jams were recorded during the span of 2 days in June of 2023, so a bit longer than a year ago now. The main difference between the two projects is that … Continue reading NEWEST ELECTRONIC EP RELEASE: ‘born to run’
NEWEST RELEASE: EXCEEDINGLY DOPE THINGS, VOL. 1
Today’s post is still part of my daily blogging experiment of posting at least 500 words a day, but I’m temporarily putting the subject I was writing about yesterday to the side, since today is the official release date of the newest rap project I’ve been a part of, and it wouldn’t be right not … Continue reading NEWEST RELEASE: EXCEEDINGLY DOPE THINGS, VOL. 1
500 WORDS, DAY 25: Old-School vs. New-School Hip-Hop
So, with yesterday’s post I started exploring the comparison between old-school and new-school hip-hop. I concluded that, even though both are guilty of including negative content in their lyrics and being careless with their words, at least the earlier generations of rappers cared about the craft and were dedicated to making the music dope. The … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 25: Old-School vs. New-School Hip-Hop
