Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Lori Garrote. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Alright, Lori thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. We’d love to hear the backstory behind a risk you’ve taken – whether big or small, walk us through what it was like and how it ultimately turned out.
I felt trapped and creativity paralyzed in Miami . I I was lacking imagination and enthusiasm. I needed to change my scenery ; and I did by relocating and moving cross country and I couldn’t feel more free.
Lori, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I’m a singer – songwriter, guitarist. Music just came easy to me at a very young age .
I’m not really sure what sets me apart from other musicians but when they come to see me live, they will hear raw emotion. They might tear up, they might rage or walk out. Who knows.
I don’t want to boast but I am proud of my resistance. I’m still creating my music . During times I didn’t feel creative or desire , I remained resilient .
My EP will be released within the next few months and I’m extremely excited to share it.
Also keep an eye out for a reunion show and EP with my past all -female band!
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
By far the most rewarding aspect of being an artist is being told your art has helped them in someway. Being able to indirectly relate to someone is absolutely priceless.
What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?
I have this need to musically document all these stages in my life . I hope my art can help others but my ultimate mission is to release every emotion and create by being my own musical storyteller.
