We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Meco Velez. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Meco below.
Hi Meco , thanks for joining us today. We’d love to hear about a project that you’ve worked on that’s meant a lot to you.
One of the most meaningful projects for me was my latest ep ‘Pleasure’. It was a collection of four songs that were very powerful. It was so meaningful because it was the first time I felt people would really be able to see that I could ACTUALLY sing. Ive always has insecurities about my voice and my vocal ability. I used to get in my head a lot about it and not feel good enough but I still pushed forward and fought against those negative thoughts to prove those self sabotaging thoughts wrong. The first song off the ep was “Its yours”. Its a sexy R&B pop song with a strong vocal build up. I was so proud of myself so that one song inspire the entire ep. Each song showed my vocal range and once it was release, I got lots of praise for my vocals which meant so much to me.
Meco , 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?
Im am of Puerto Rican and black decent. I fell in love in music at a young age. Music became my escape and a way for me to express myself. I started writing songs to let out my feelings and noticed that I was pretty good at crafting songs. As I evolved, I am able to write songs from others perspectives. I like to make music that people can relate to and feel something. Rather feeling sexy, pain, anger or passion.
Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?
My goal is to touch as many people as I can with my music. I want to find my tribe and be able to make a living doing what I love.
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
The most rewarding part of being an artist is when people tell me stories about like a song of mine and how they connect to it. I love to make people feel something with my music. I am grateful for each and every one of the people who listen to my music
