La Dolce Vita

I know it’s early and we still have two months left before the year ends, but I feel this blog is necessary as I want to express what the last 10 months of 2024 represent and mean to me….accomplishment. I have been moving at a fast pace since the beginning of the year. Between completing my most recent album, ‘A Mi Manera’, organizing Festival Qué-Latino, organizing shows and practices with my band, all of this on top of managing my life – what a ride!

In these autumn months (my favorite season p.s.), I take time to ground myself as I cook up the next season of my life. It is a truly inspiring time for me and I am currently working on a multitude of projects, for myself as well as for other artists. I find myself so inspired and my dreams keep on growing and growing – they are big, they are crazy and they are completely attainable. It is just a matter of consistency and pace.

So what am I working on? I can’t give too much away but I will say this: I am coming with a subject I haven’t touched before – a not so much yet new sound. It is dreamy, it is alive, it is a side of Claudia that I have kept private in my music. I am inspired by everything old and new, the concept for the video shoot and the images are just hypnotizing and I hope it hypnotizes all of you like it does for me.

I plan to make 2025 a memorable year – filled with love, excitement, projects and success.

I plan to continue living my dolce vita, a mi manera, a modo mio, giving the best of myself to the world.

Stay tuned for surprises!

Ciao ragazzi, will update you soon

Con amore,

La tua Claudia (The woman of many titles – proudly)

Most recently, I was contracted as Director for a music video. I truly enjoyed scripting and directing the scenes. It feels nice to do for other artists what I know I need for my own projects – and I think that is the key to success. We learn as we go that there is always room for improvement and we can always do better but it is important to share that knowledge and experience with others. Not only is it about giving back, but it enlightens and inspires me for my own projects at the same time. This is the thing about Art (and yes I capitalized it), that is so magical. It is an energy that keeps on giving.

In this regard, I have discovered opportunities to delve into different aspects of the Arts that step out of my own career as a Singer. It is not the first time I work as a Director on a music video, nor is it the first time that I help artists to build their career, and so I think this is something that I will continue to invest my time into as I work on my career simultaneously.

Los angelitos de Claudia

Unlike the past blogs, this one isn’t titled with a chapter, because it deserves a book of it’s own. This past Saturday, August 13th, 2022, I performed my first show. It wasn’t the first time I was on a stage, but it was the first time I had my very own concert and took part in an outdoor Italian festival called Italfest. It was an honor to represent my community, but it was also a blessing to be able to have such an opportunity for a first time show.

Getting here was not easy. Nothing about this journey, my journey, is easy, but there has been so much growth both artistically and personally.

Being an artist has its downfalls but it also has its perks. This past weekend I felt the benefits of my love for music. Not only did I get to showcase my talent, but I had the opportunity to use my voice to share the messages that I want to give as an artist who wants to inspire. I was able to align my passion, my vision, my goals, and my purpose all in the same event, and it was amazing to feel that sense of accomplishment.

team

music brings people together

A major part of this show was a collaboration between good people. I could feel the genuine care for my well being just like I wanted my team to feel good. Everyone gave their absolute best and we gave a great show. The street was packed and people did not move. There were cheers, and there were tears, but mostly, there was a sense of belonging. I felt home when I climbed that stage, and it felt like a déjà vu. When the show was over, I didn’t want to leave my team because they instantly became my family. Music is loud, but there is an understood silence in it’s creation, a respect between artists that is just understood.

Claudia's Angels

Music has and always will be a collaboration. The best music is an exchange that occurs between people who share the same fire and passion. Music is meant to unite people. It is exactly why I titled this blog, “Los angelitos de Claudia”, in english, “Claudia’s Angels”.

I work very hard to build and to support my passion for music, but it takes the right people as well. Not everyone is in the music industry for the right reasons, but what matters to me is being surrounded by those who are there for the good reasons. My circle is selective and it is chosen carefully because if I want to rise and be able to share a positive message with the world, I need that positive energy around me.

Despite all this, I am a big believer. I have faith. I pray, I work, I manifest, I set goals, but I also know that some things are out of my control no matter how much I plan. Those are the most trying of moments, those are the moments where you need faith and you need to believe in yourself.

I believe that the universe conspires in your favor and presents you with opportunities and people who will treat you well and genuinely want to help you; just like it will remove whatever is not meant for you. I remain conscious, grounded while floating, but always listening.

Love yourself

I will end with this; At the end of it all, it comes down to you. People will follow you, join you, support you, when that is what you do for yourself and for others. It is the biggest lesson that I learned in my life. It comes down to you. What do you want? Set that goal, get to work, and the rest will follow. Love yourself enough to make it happen.

It is the sum of your actions that will determine your future, along with “los angelitos”, that will make sure you are protected along your path. Nothing can stop you from what is meant for you, never forget that.
