We recently connected with Alejandro Muniz and have shared our conversation below.

Alejandro, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Alright, so you had your idea and then what happened? Can you walk us through the story of how you went from just an idea to executing on the idea

I took an interest in writing lyrics at the age of 12 back in 2003. In the beginning it was nothing short but practicing and loving the feeling of just expressing. It wasn’t until I began to actually record music a few years after that made it much more real for me and woken a feeling I still have till this day. Throughout the years it was just writing and recording and learning the structures of making a record learning breath control and learning how to use my voice.

Alejandro, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I was introduced to making music through a group of friends that lived in the same area I did, which at the time was interesting because back then you rarely knew somebody personally who made music, to me I thought you had to be famous to be able to record and that surprised me. It made me look at the possibilities of becoming something from nothing. Technology was not as advanced as it is today so making music was not as easy to get access to.

The hunger I had to just wanted to be somebody in music was addictive and it’s all I wanted to do. To strive to be the best, be recognized for my abilities I what I can bring and that hunger has opened some doors for me like meeting other creative artists, learning to take constructive criticism to be a better lyricist.

Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?

Throughout my years of making music I’ve noticed to have been boxed in when making a record, before I would record a lot and it didn’t matter how it sounded “quality” wise just as long as it was recorded and I felt that held me back a lot as an artist. It wasn’t until I took an interest on producing music that has opened my whole outlook about taking time on my art and giving the best version of myself. Producing has taught me patience, honesty, having vision and appreciating my craft rather than just putting music out constantly just to try and stay relevant.
With taking a break from rapping and focusing on just producing for a couple years I knew that once I came back to focusing on recording my whole perspective and outlook would show when creating again and that’s exactly what happened.

To unlearn was finding my self and learning to value and always give my highest self and best quality when releasing records.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.

Music has not only been something I love to do but it truly has became my therapy. It’s the only thing that has made me feel like a somebody, like I mattered. I’ve been through some really harsh times in my life and for some reason music has always been there to allow me to express any dark feelings I had and turn it into light for those to hear what I have to say and relate and not feel alone. I’ve had encounters of meeting a lot some people who felt didn’t have a voice and said my music has allowed them to open up and express themselves and that is why I do this for it’s what keeps me going.
