Today we’d like to introduce you to Maycon Pimentella.

Hi Maycon, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.

I’ve always loved music and creating things, but I didn’t take it seriously until later. I moved to the U.S. in 2019, and in 2023, I finally released my first song, **“All Your Fault.”** It was a personal song, almost like an unsent letter to an ex, and that was the moment I realized I wanted to really pursue music.

I didn’t have any formal training, so I taught myself everything through **YouTube tutorials**—how to record, distribute music, design cover art, and basically navigate the industry on my own. Around the same time, I started getting into **makeup and content creation**, which became another huge part of my identity.

It hasn’t been easy, especially when working with no budget, but I’ve learned to make things work. My mom has always been super supportive—she even buys me makeup and pushes me to stay consistent when I start doubting myself. I’m still building my career, but I know this is just the beginning.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?

Definitely not a smooth road. If anything, it’s been full of challenges.

One of the biggest struggles was starting from scratch with **zero connections and no budget**. I had to teach myself everything—music production, distribution, branding—just by watching YouTube tutorials and figuring things out as I went. It’s frustrating when you don’t have the resources to make things look as polished as you want, especially with things like music videos. You don’t want them to **look low-budget, even if they are**.

Another challenge has been **staying motivated**, especially when results aren’t immediate. The algorithm doesn’t always work in your favor, and social media growth can feel slow. It’s easy to compare yourself to others and wonder if you’re doing enough.

On top of that, **mental health** has been a struggle. Being a content creator means people expect you to be entertaining all the time, no matter what you’re going through. But honestly, creating—whether it’s music or makeup content—has been what keeps me going.

Despite all of this, I’ve never let any of it stop me. I remind myself why I started and push through. Every small step forward still counts.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?

I’m an **artist and content creator**, and I focus on both **music and beauty**. Music was my first passion, and in 2023, I released my first song, **“All Your Fault”**—a personal track that reflects on a toxic relationship. I write, produce, and handle everything myself, which has been a learning experience, but I love having full creative control over my work.

Aside from music, I also create **makeup content**. I love experimenting with different looks, sharing tutorials, and helping people find the best products for their needs. Makeup, for me, is more than just beauty—it’s a form of self-expression and identity.

What sets me apart is that I don’t box myself into one thing. I’m not just a musician, not just a beauty creator—I’m both, and I bring my own perspective to everything I create. I also **refuse to fake things for the algorithm**. A lot of influencers will say anything for views or money, but I want to be real and **build a genuine connection with my audience**.

I’m proud of how far I’ve come, even though I know I have a long way to go. Every small milestone—whether it’s a new follower, a new stream, or someone telling me they love my content—means everything.

Is there a quality that you most attribute to your success?

**Persistence.**

If there’s one thing that’s kept me going, it’s that I **never give up**. No matter how slow things feel, no matter how frustrating the process is, I just keep pushing forward.

I’ve had moments where I felt stuck—where my content wasn’t getting the reach I wanted, or my music didn’t take off as fast as I hoped. But I’ve learned that **success isn’t about overnight results**; it’s about consistency. You have to keep creating, keep improving, and keep showing up even when no one’s watching.

Another thing that’s helped me is being **self-taught and adaptable**. I had to figure out everything on my own—how to produce music, how to grow on social media, how to edit videos—and that made me **resourceful**. If I don’t know how to do something, I find a way to learn.

And finally, **staying true to myself**. I don’t follow trends just for the sake of it. I create what I love and build an audience that connects with me for who I really am. I think that’s the most important part of long-term success.
