We recently connected with El Santo Del Valle and have shared our conversation below.
El Santo, appreciate you joining us today. Do you wish you had waited to pursue your creative career or do you wish you had started sooner?
Honestly, I love where I am now. I worked hard in the independent scene and still am, but I dropped about over a hundred songs under my former name. Now I go by El Santo Del Valle and through all these trials and tribulations in my journey, I found what works best for me and it is where I am now. VIVA MEXICO!!!
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?
I got into the music industry by building a studio with my friend, 7 years later I’ve worked with many legends in the game such as platinum producer Guy Roche. The one thing that I did learn was to stay focus, stay consistent and stay true to yourself, because there are others who dress like me, talk like me, and sound like me who can get inspired not only to do music, but find creative outlets in the art realm.
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
The most rewarding aspect is revisiting old photos and music I’ve done in the past. It’s crazy how time flies by. I still remember going to my friends home studio recording in a closet and dropping the first single, it wasn’t well received with my peers but now everyone’s loving the truthful me, the RAZA me. I love representing my culture through my music, my visual arts, everything because at the end of the day, that’s me.
How can we best help foster a strong, supportive environment for artists and creatives?
Give the independent artists song a listen. Just because they aren’t mainstream doesn’t mean their music aren’t good. You’ll be surprise by what you’ll hear and the creativeness they got compared to 90% of the mainstream artists.
