We recently connected with Supa Sweetz and have shared our conversation below.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
Hi everyone i’m supa sweetz and I am a singer/songwriter/producer from los angeles, CA. From a very early age I resonated with music and have had many different artistic encounters along the way. I started singing from the age of 3 and would blur out melodies before I could even properly talk. In my early teenage years I would use music as a way to escape reality make myself happy. Around this same time I picked up the guitar and would record myself playing and singing with a broken microphone. I did this for around a year or so until I finally saved up money to buy a proper mic and set up. Once I was able to purchase the equipment I needed to record myself I felt unstopable, growing up low income I unfourtunaly didn’t have the resources or access to this equipment so it felt very rewarding and special. I had to learn everything by myself and would spend hours and hours watching youtube videos and taking notes. In 2022 i realsed my first ever song tittled “mariposa blanca” which was a song that heavily embodied love. The song contaied only 3 guitar chords and some very soft vocals. To my suprise it got an amazing feedback from my community and did extreamly well. From there I continued pursing music and creating with passion. My songs have now collected 20k+ overall streams which makes me extreamly happy and proud. I want people to listen to my music and be taken into a different world filled with love, strength, and positivity. I want my listeners to know I appreicate every single one of them and that it genuienky means the world to me when they say they can realate to my lyrics. I am now currently working on an EP that will talk about different forms of love and how they can make one feel and I hope I can keep performing live shows,So stay tuned!
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
My goal is to fund my community with more resources and more access to art. I love giving back and supa sweetz has always been community based so it’s only right for me to do so. I also would love to eventually fund an art and music program back in my native hometown of oaxaca, mexico for ALL AGES. That would make my heart and soul extreamly happy and I would love to be able to acomplish this one day.
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
The most rewarding aspect of being an artist is hearing younger generations and youth telling you that you’re songs have helped them heal. It is such an honor and something that speaks heavily to my heart. I think that is by far one of the most rewarding feelings ever.
