Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Rosangel Conde. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Rosangel, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Are you happy as a creative professional? Do you sometimes wonder what it would be like to work for someone else?
I believe that if anyone could choose a dream career in life, it would be an artistic one. As a first generation daughter of immigrants, education was heavily enforced and I believed that I needed a career that was deemed stable for me to feel fulfilled. However, my passion was always music. After high school, it was quite conflicting to decide what I wanted to do with my life but social media changed that for me. Therefore, I’m very grateful and happy as an artist. Since the age of 2, this is all I’ve ever wanted to do and i wouldn’t change it for anything.
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.

How did you build your audience on social media?
I was a senior in high school during 2020 and due to the pandemic, it was cut short and quarantine was enforced. As a way to occupy myself and stay creative, I began posting singing covers on the popular platform, Tiktok, and didn’t expect much. However, numbers started racking up and I grew to 100,000 followers in a month. It was at this point that I decided to consistently post on Tiktok and other platforms and as of now, I have over 1 million followers across my platforms. My content consists of singing and songwriting challenges, covers, and duets. For those who wish to also build their platforms, be sure to post consistently and be patient. It is important to have a daily routine when uploading videos because it tends to be favored among the algorithm. Also, you never know which video is going to go viral, so be patient and don’t post expecting that to happen.
What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?
I wish to share the stories of my fellow first generation children of immigrants through my music. Often, there aren’t many art forms that share where our parents come from or the languages that we learn growing up. When songwriting, I keep this in mind and it is what inspires me to write in English and Spanish. I knew there were people like me out there and by writing these songs, I could give them a voice and make them feel less alone. This is the reason why I share my Latin heritage on my platform as well. It gives me great pride to represent Peruvians out there.
