We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Maury Cruz Hechavarria. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Maury below.
Maury, appreciate you joining us today. Can you talk to us about a project that’s meant a lot to you?
My life is full of meaningful projects.
One of the greatest challenges and significant projects, both personal and professional, has been changing everything about myself in general, without excluding my being, which I will always maintain. (mi personalidad).
Arriving in the USA, Los Angeles, CA, has driven and elevated my development as an artist by pushing me to meet internationally demanded levels.
– I have as an example my recent concert in San DIEGO with 12,000 people, where I had to face 12,000 people as a DJ VIOLINIST, Wow!! Having cutting-edge technology, state-of-the-art musical equipment, DJ mixers, and any service at your disposal in a matter of seconds, wow!! Thank you very much to God, to my family, and to all my internal and external work team (FRIENDS, WORK COLLEAGUES, AND CONTACTS).
Having my own company in this country was one of the greatest challenges, which I intend to maintain and grow.
—I cannot overlook the work with special needs children and with children in energy classes with music and assistance to people with terminal illnesses and channeling through music as a healing medium (…)
This is one of the strongest projects because the work with people in special hospitals with no life expectancy is very emotional, and to come and make them laugh and touch their hearts and, for that moment, give them back their hopes, is a very beautiful and blessed job.
– Other significant projects currently being worked on include:
– Being featured on Vision Latina radio and Los Angeles, CA TV (thanks and on their excellent program for the second time, invitation from Director: Angel Gonzalez and teacher Sara Chao).
– WORKING alongside Jorge Perez and his book Shut The F*ck Up METHOD.
and supporting him in his book promotion, working alongside the entertainment company Luna Best Choice Entertainment in Hollywood.
– Working on the healing project together with the Holistic Foundation and teacher Mary Fonseca (with healing projects through music).
A podcast is coming up with Dr. and Attorney Maggie, where we will be discussing the projects of her foundation for the family reunification of Latin Americans, focusing and emphasizing more on educational and informative work about legal immigration means and processes to come to the United States of America, supporting the community.
Where we want to bring families together to enjoy their loved ones for a while… TikTok platform.
– I have my own project where I give away professional videos to people who once dreamed of getting some recognition for their talent. I am currently establishing this project on the TIKTOK platform!!
We are working to start live streaming on TikTok with free live music for all fans and listeners of good music, which receives a lot of support from my Cuban and Mexican community.
– My next concert in Vegas with 50,000 people.
Concert in San Diego with 80,000 to 100,000 people for 5 hours, directing the concert along with my lovely team, including a violinist, DJ, and dancer, making it a unique and captivating show. This is New Year’s 2025.
Collaborations with artists from around the world and especially with Cubans who are my blood and have had fewer opportunities for musical development…
I work at Art Basel MIAMI 6 – Dec.
I work with the clown Fofiño, a Cuban friend residing in New York.
Working with them on influencer programs through social media.
We cannot overlook the piano classes that start with an enrollment of 6 children (teaching them the musical basics and different musical genres, where the child learns to develop their ear and inclination towards art).
Continue working with the magazine VOYAGELA, of which I am very satisfied.
Netflix in my second production with them as a model for Trinidad USA jeans and with the series we are going to shoot!! Through my friend Hilda ORTA, MIAMI.
WORKING WITH THE BIÓNICO PLUS ORGANIC FOODS PROJECT (CREATING PROMOTIONAL MUSIC VIDEOS).
WORKING WITH TEACHER SARA CHAO AND HER R.J.C FOUNDATION
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?
My name is Maury Alejandro Cruz and dreaming is easy, but reaching and achieving goals is the most complicated, most difficult work you can think of or imagine, but not impossible…
I am Cuban, and in the music industry, you must start by acquiring knowledge and advice from certified professionals so that you can have a good professional musical development, and as I always tell my students( el avance depende de ustedes veces…)
That’s how I started!!
Dreaming and making the world understand that there was a child eager to create art, but all he knew was to cry for something they couldn’t understand!!! And it was the desire to touch hearts with my innate talent.
Thanks to God, I have had the support of my family and my parents, and I want to clarify that if I chose the hard path in the art industry and in life situations, it was because I needed to grow and go out into the world to see what it had prepared for me and to impose myself before life’s adversities and grow that childhood innocence…
Never overlook discipline, remember that talent, if it doesn’t have discipline and education, is worthless…
And on these foundations, I have created my empire of people who follow me and whom I support… to whom I am grateful every day!!
As a professional artist, violinist, pianist, producer, and above all, altruistic, my experience, my advice to the new generations is to learn every day to create more art and never stop being themselves. That’s what it’s about, taking your feelings as a being and your imagination to the highest expression with your own art. Being an example for the world as an artist and a person and learning to transcend, these are the examples from my family, who support me a lot and never leave my side.
Being a violinist has led me to connect with people’s energies, as I have developed a connection with my audience, and that’s something I tell my friends… connecting is almost everything, because when you connect with the entire environment and people, you can create art by following their energies and merging them with your own!! It’s a very beautiful job, where the harmonious colors of the being come together to create healthy and beautiful things.
Being an artist means being away from family, especially during the holidays, and being willing to fulfill your heart and mind!! It’s about enduring tough nights to make your face smile and feel at ease because money will never be enough compared to an applause and recognition from the audience and your loved ones!! Learning to be quiet to listen, learning to make sometimes tough but wise decisions, is part of being an artist, and above all, with me, Maury Cruz.
Maury Cruz or Maury C: He is faithfully committed first to the paths of goodness, my family, my friends, my followers, my fans, and to myself to be the example of that artist who shines on his own and knows that in the art industry, there will always be food for everyone!! And that helping is blessing, and that blessing is receiving, and that under these foundations of respect for people and new generations, you can value precious things with my art, Maury C, and all my professional spheres!! I call on my community to let everyone know that I represent my beautiful people from Cuba, where I was born, and the United States, a wonderful country that opened its doors and opportunities for me to be who I am and reach where I am getting day by day!! To the world, thank you very much.

Being an artist is being Gratitude.
Sincerely, Maury Cruz Hechavarria
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
The most fulfilling experience as an artist is hearing the applause echo in your ears, filling your mind with praise and admiration for your music, for Sara, for your very essence. It’s in those moments that you realize how profoundly music can touch souls. Being an artist, with its slow and natural rhythm, is an immense gift, and the gratitude you feel towards your audience and loved ones is priceless. The ability to connect with hearts through the notes that accompany you each day is genuinely rewarding. Yet, what truly matters is the acknowledgment of your dedication, your hard work, and your unique spirit
Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?
This creative journey is fueled by a multitude of goals and aspirations, each painted with its own unique shades and hues. It’s a mission to learn, to ensure that the world hears you, and to amplify the voices of hidden artists. It’s about nurturing the dreams of children and individuals from all walks of life, while prioritizing my own personal growth and self-love. I strive to set examples, embracing new generations and collaborating with their fresh ideas. I am learning that a better world is achievable, day by day, and I aim to show that truth is always intertwined with the highest ethical principles. All of this, and so much more, drives me each day, as I refuse to overlook the struggles of my community. An artist’s role is to be their own voice while also learning to echo the voice of the world
