Hi, I'm Cynthia, Venezuelan singer-songwriter, I'm 22 years old and I'm from Carabobo state.
Since I was a little girl, in my home there has always been a musical environment, with my parents, grandparents, relatives.
Music always ran through our veins. As a child, when I played, I imagined myself stepping on a stage, guitar in hand, singing at the top of my lungs and the audience full of emotion, song after song; however, at that time it was just that, a game.
Although sports was my passion and for many years I dedicated myself to coaching soccer, destiny took me to other paths that brought me closer to music. Then I started playing the guitar, learning in an empirical or self-taught way. I took out my favorite songs and created my own, playing hours and hours a day the 6 strings of my guitar.
As I said, music and instruments have always been present in my family, especially stringed instruments (such as guitar, mandolin, cuatro, harp and bass). Then I discovered percussion and I fell even more in love with music and its wonders, and so with each instrument I got to know, I started to learn more and more about music.
However, as time went on and I continued to write songs, beyond enjoying the music, I felt a deep connection to the ability to convey emotions and connect with others through the lyrics.
I consider that my biggest influences were the artists that were setting trends at the time: Juanes, Shakira, Kany García.... Of course! I couldn't miss the rock of the 70's and 80's, with bands like Bon Jovi and The Beatles, the Boy Bands of that time like 1D and Justin Bieber.
Although songs full of Caribbean swing were also present in my home, such as Rubén Blades' salsa, Aventura's bachata, Olga Tañon's merengue, Luis Miguel's voice, llaneras, criollas and Chayanne's romantic songs.
In 2018, I decided to share my passion with the world and started posting covers on social networks. It was the first step towards a musical career that would lead me to participate in festivals and performances locally and nationally. But the real change came in 2023 with the release of my first original song, a dream come true that allowed me to share my own voice with the world.
The year 2024 brought with it a unique opportunity: I won a contest organized by Amo ir al Cine. Which opened the doors for me to make the videoclip of my song "Camila", under the direction of the talented Nuno Gomes, nominated for a Latin Grammy and the wonderful experience of recording with the singer, actor and dancer Victor Drija, a total icon of Venezuelan music and television, was unforgettable and has definitely marked a before and after in my career.
The recording of the videoclip became a historic event, as it took place live and in close-up during the event "Direction and Audiovisual Production with Nuno Gomes" at UCAB. Never before had anything like this been done in Venezuela! It was as if I was living a dream.
It was a unique opportunity to witness first-hand the creative process behind a music video and to share this special moment with audiovisual enthusiasts from all over the country. Filming in sequence shot, with 700 people present, was a huge challenge, but also very rewarding.
Composition is my passion, my lifestyle. I consider myself an eternal learner, fascinated by the diversity of life and the stories that surround us. Guitar is my favorite instrument, but my curiosity drives me to explore other sounds, such as bass, drums and piano.
I love listening to people, each with their own story and perspective. Human diversity fascinates me and makes me reflect on what unites us and what differentiates us. Each person has a story to tell, a unique perspective on the world. And it is in those conversations that I discover incredible things about life and about myself.
I continue to work on my next songs as an independent artist. I thoroughly enjoy every phase of the creative process, from the moment the idea comes to fruition. One of my favorite parts is the musical production and arrangement of the song. It is like capturing infinite ideas on a white canvas, which little by little with melodies takes shape, like paint strokes, until the result is achieved, unique, unrepeatable and authentic for the artist
I have also written songs (lyrics-music) for other artists. I'll tell you more about it later. It's a pleasure to share and see so much talent in this medium that connects so many creatives, thanks @eliezerboyer and thanks @itzchemaya for guiding us on this new path of the web 3.
I thank God for every moment that allows us to live to the fullest and for giving us the opportunity to give smiles, so let's enjoy music with values (as a dear colleague says). Blessings to all of you!
