🙇🏻‍♀️It’s been one hell of a ride up until now, an <img src=It’s been one hell of a ride up until now, and to think that there are many more blessings on the way🫶🏻 Hard work, dedication, motivation, a relentless pursuit to conquer one’s dreams is what leads us to achieve results. There is so much time that is put into every project and I am one who truly enjoys the entire creation process; it is what drives me and keeps me learning and hungry for more. Although we are already working on what’s next, which is a bag full of surprises🥰, I have to say that I am living a moment lately of great joy and pride representing myself and parts of the city and world, in all of what makes me who I am; and this includes everyone by my side in and outside of music. Every single person leaves their mark and as you gather the ingredients, you end up with a sauce full of flavor🌶🧂🥫🍝 It feels good to not shy away or hide from all that I am and it is the lesson I want to pass on today on this beautiful Sunday☀ There will always be someone who tells you who you need to be and how you need to be it, but in the end, you are all that your heart sings, that your mind dreams, and that your body feels. It is only in fighting and defending my dreams that I have achieved this moment of sweet happiness inside my soul, and it is what I hope everyone has the courage to do in their life. There is magic in your uniqueness, and if it doesn’t fit the mold, it is for a reason worth investing💫 Thank you @studiolore.ca for capturing this moment - in it’s raw form, my heart dancing with joy♥ #sinquerer #laitalianadelasalsa #justme #retro #montreal #italia" aria-hidden="true">

Heavy lies the crown. It’s been said that before every triumph, there comes a storm. God knows I have faced many storms, and in those times, I have discovered an endurance that I did not know I had.  I have learned to accept the tribulations. “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. ” – Isaiah 41:10. 

I have put everything on the line. There is no refuge in anything I am doing. I question if it is even sane to risk so much of myself just to be able to reach that mountain top. We each have our own aspirations, and although mine involve pushing through this career, it isn’t just about the music – it’s about my happiness.  Everything is at stake, and I’ve gone all in. It takes focus, it takes discipline, and it takes serious courage to brace through every thought, doubt, disappointment and rejection. It is literally like climbing a mountain and feeling like every time you get a little higher, you are faced with a bigger obstacle that stands in your way. An obstacle that puts you at the brink of having to decide whether you should continue climbing, or if you should retreat somewhere in the valley. 

Why am I blogging about this? Because I am human, I am heart, I am the love that I put into this world. If at the end of the day, my results don’t reflect my efforts (in the eyes of the public), it won’t matter – because I gave it my all, I gave all of my heart, I sacrificed it all. Although I have learned in this time to separate things, as to not put them all in the same melting pot, the truth is, they are all in the same pot. I cannot shut off my mind, nor shut off my heart, and I simply cannot be that person who just goes cold for the benefit of something. It is just not me lol. I don’t want to reach the top of the mountain and find myself alone. The only way I get there, is by doing it the right way – by respecting my core values and not bending them for my own benefit. 

Social media isn’t all it is cut out to be, and I am an artist that believes in keeping it real – always. I also know that many of us struggle with these ideas in our daily lives so maybe I can serve as a reminder that this is part of life. 

This is the final stretch before 2025. All eyes on me, all pressure on me, all cards on deck, with no refuge and I will keep on until it is completed. I never end a chapter or a phase without having given it my all. This is the phase that I have wanted the most – while not wanting it. It has also taught me a very valuable lesson. Essentially, you hold the key to your life, and to your success, and to your future. There is no knight in shining armor, no miracle waiting at the door – no. You are the blessing, you are the light, you are what you do, you are what you choose and what you give. You are what you allow – and 2025 – be it as it may – will transpire to be the year that I allow it to be. Whoever is on board is welcome to stay, and for those who are unsure, you can secure your place at bay. This is all I can share for now. Stay tuned for what is coming and in case I don’t blog again, I wish you all the happiest of holidays. Remember to value the precious moments with your loved ones, the rest is just noise.
