We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Ale Medina. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Ale below.
Hi Ale, thanks for joining us today. We’d love to hear about a project that you’ve worked on that’s meant a lot to you.
After 10 years of working for many record labels and recording studios, finally at the end of 2020 my producer Lib Danel and I reinvented an old project I started years before. I spoke to Lib Danel about starting our own record label, something I had tried in the past but without any luck. Lib Danel was on board with the idea and that’s how G-Traxx Musik was revamped.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
My name is Francisco Lopez better known as Ale Medina, since a very young age I have always liked music. My friends and I used to do rap battles in the street. At the age of 13 my family packed our bags and decided to move to the US so we could have better opportunities. I arrived to the US and had to quickly adapt to a new way of living. Luckily in high school I met some friends that at the time were involved in music. I quickly learned the lay of the land and started making connections. At first I started DJing at small events. Then I got into producing, until eventually I was writing and recording my own songs.
We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
At the beginning of my career I had to knock on a lot of doors. There were times were I asked myself why I kept trying, I wanted to throw in the towel. I questioned myself if this was even for me. I had many reasons to quit but I never gave up and kept fighting for my dreams.
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
The most rewarding thing about being an artists is knowing your songs can connect with people of different backgrounds. And being able to tell stories through songs.
