We recently connected with Iron Gulla and have shared our conversation below.
Iron, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. We’d love to hear about when you first realized that you wanted to pursue a creative path professionally.
Music always been a huge part of my life. No matter what I was doing it was always a way to express how I’m feeling. A way to escape from reality many times and create my own and a way to manifest.
I was also lucky that my parents show me real good soulful music since an early age and that helped a lot.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
I always say that I’m just a normal guy telling you how I feel all the time. Everything I write and sing is what I’m feeling in the moment and how I’m seeing the world. My music and style has changed a lot over the last few years but something that would never change is that I’m real. I’m not pretending to be somebody that I’m not . I’m very proud of who I am and I hope my music can somehow make you feel the same way. Make you break molds, step out of your comfort zone, try new things, fall in love, cry and embrace everything that life brings you. Just like I do.
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
Authenticity. I need to express what I see and feel. I want others to see it because I get inspired from daily things. From normal things. I don’t get inspired from cars or expensive houses or money. I get inspired from arguing with a girl I love, or my insecurities. Somehow for me it’s easier to sing it than to say it. Every project I do takes a lot of work and time. My goal is not to bring out quantity but quality. As long as I’m proud and happy with what I put out, I don’t pay attention to the critics,
Is there something you think non-creatives will struggle to understand about your journey as a creative?
Every time you create you put a naked piece of yourself out. That takes a lot of bravery. A lot of times out for fear you don’t put things out. You might think is not good enough but it will never be. You have to live with that. There is a constant battle within myself because the impostor syndrome is always there. Sometimes is louder than other times. My mission is to try to silence the noise so it doesn’t stop me from creating and I think I have got good at that. At trying. At understanding that it will never be finished. That you get to the point that being a perfectionist sometimes are just excuses to not showing the world what you have create it. My advice to myself and to anybody that feels the same is to jump. The parachute will always open. But you have to jump
