We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Eve Alas Morán. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Eve below.
Eve, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Are you happy as a creative professional? Do you sometimes wonder what it would be like to work for someone else?
I think that sometimes when things get rough, it’s completely normal to ask yourself that question—should I move to a regular job where maybe I can make more money and have more stability?
When you get audition rejections or no job opportunities to do what you love to do, it’s really normal to ask yourself, “Is this what I’m supposed to be doing?”
I sometimes have thought about what my life would look like if I had chosen a different path. Being an international artist, living in another country, and building a career from scratch when I don’t know anyone is incredibly hard. I have wondered what other choices in my career would have looked like. What if I had stayed in a traditional field? What if I had that stability financially, that predictable schedule, those benefits everyone talks about?
I have seriously considered it before and I have even started browsing job websites, looking at positions that seemed “practical” and “stable.”
But then I always end up with the same answer—I wouldn’t be happy. The thought of giving up what I love, of not creating, of not pursuing this dream that ignites something inside me, felt like giving up a part of my soul. Art and making art makes me happy. It satisfies me and fulfills me in a way that nothing else does.
Being an artist is truly a 24/7 job, and it’s really for people who are strong mentally and physically. But despite the uncertainty, despite the financial challenges, despite the loneliness of starting over in a new country, I know this is where I belong.
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.
My name is Eve Alas Morán, and I am an actor, singer, songwriter, violinist, dancer, screenwriter, film producer, and former national athlete. Originally from El Salvador, I moved to the United States at eighteen to pursue a BFA in Dance at Hofstra University in New York, setting the foundation for what would become a multifaceted artistic career.
My journey began early—at just four years old, I started studying violin in El Salvador. By six, I had begun practicing rhythmic gymnastics, eventually joining El Salvador’s national team. These early years brought remarkable achievements: I became Pan-American Champion in 2010 and Central American Champion, and had the honor of representing El Salvador at the World Cup in Pesaro, Italy in 2012.
While developing my athletic and musical talents, I was simultaneously pursuing ballet at a professional level through the Royal Academy of Dance of London’s program. I successfully completed every level with high grades, culminating in my graduation with the Advanced 2 examination. My passion for languages also emerged during this time—I studied French at L’Alliance Française of El Salvador, earning a B2 DELF diploma, and German at the Deutsche Schule. Today, I speak, read, and write Spanish, English, and French fluently, while continuing to develop my skills in German and Italian.
In 2023, I launched my music career with my debut single “Running Back to You,” which I wrote and performed in both English and French. Since then, I’ve released four additional singles—”Leaving New York,” “Coffee,” “You,” and “Je reviens”—each accompanied by music videos that I produced myself. You can find these on my YouTube channel @EveAlasMoran. This summer, I’m excited to release my next single, “Enamórame,” which showcases a Latin style.
My film work includes producing two short films currently making their festival circuit, both directed and co-written with Italian director Gabriele M Bussetti. “Ca-3N,” a science fiction short film, allowed me to showcase my stunt skills, while “Not by Choice,” a drama exploring Parkinson’s disease within the dance world, demonstrates my range as a storyteller. I also produced my first international music video, “El Camino,” written and performed by Salvadoran artist Walter Alas Ruíz, which we filmed across Los Angeles and El Salvador—an incredibly rewarding experience that was released on May 9th, 2025.
Education remains a priority alongside my artistic pursuits. On May 2nd, 2025, I graduated with a Master of Fine Arts from the New York Film Academy, adding to my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance. I also hold certifications as a fitness trainer and coach in both rhythmic gymnastics and dance.
Every experience has shaped me into the artist I am today. I’m a firm believer in hard work and discipline, principles that guide me in every environment. I’m deeply grateful for the opportunities I’ve had and eagerly anticipate what lies ahead in this exciting journey.
Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?
There was a moment in my career where I felt that I needed to take one step more and pivot my career and life completely. I had spent my entire life dedicated to being a musician, athlete, and dancer. I went to college to pursue a BFA in dance in New York, fully committed to that direction. In my mind, I was going to be a professional dancer—that was my future, my plan, my identity.
But during the COVID times, everything shifted for me. I was taking classes at Hofstra University when I had the opportunity to produce a film for one of my classes. I remember working on this project and feeling something I had never experienced before. It was like a lightbulb moment—I suddenly saw this whole new creative world that I wanted to be part of, and I knew right then that I wanted to produce and act in films and be part of the television and film industry.
This was my pivot moment. I realized I couldn’t just stay comfortable in what I already knew. I needed to take that leap and completely redirect my path. It was both exciting and terrifying because I was very aware that I wasn’t educated in this area and that I needed to learn proper film techniques. I had the passion, but I needed the skills.
So I made the decision to pursue an MFA in Acting for Film at the New York Film Academy. It meant shifting my entire career trajectory, but I knew I had to follow this new calling. The beautiful thing about this pivot was discovering that all my professional training in music and dancing had actually been preparing me to become an actress without me even realizing it. The discipline, body awareness, emotional expression, and performance experience all translated beautifully into acting.
This pivot taught me that sometimes we need to be brave enough to step outside our comfort zone to find where we truly belong.
What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?
My particular goal and mission is to create music and perform characters that can portray truthfulness and that people can relate to. Everything I do as a professional actress, dancer, singer, film producer, screenwriter, and editor stems from this core desire to bring authentic, relatable stories to life.
In every area I have studied in the arts, I’ve always fought for being truthful to myself, and I want that same authenticity to shine through in my work. I believe that when we create truthful art, it resonates with people because they see themselves in it. Nowadays, I feel that society is pushing us to be something that we are not or that we are not ready for, so my mission is to create characters and music that celebrate who we really are at our core.
The music my team and I create promotes love, authenticity, and originality so that everyone—including children, parents, adults, teenagers, and young adults—can listen and connect with something real. When people can relate to what they’re hearing or seeing, that’s when art becomes powerful.
In the present, wherever I go—whether I am on a film set for a movie or commercial, recording a song, writing lyrics or a script, or even choreographing a dance—I keep this mission in mind. I want to portray characters and create music that people watch or listen to and think, “I understand that feeling” or “I’ve been there too.”
I love and adore real, authentic love for others and for myself, and that truthfulness is the identity that I hold on to in everything I create.
