What a night @latinawardscanada Thank yo What a night @latinawardscanada Thank you for this award (Breakthrough Artist of the Year), thank you for recognizing all the hard work behind this past year in creating my latest EP, La Italiana de la Salsa. As an Italian receiving this Latin Award, I can confidently say that Montreal is progressing and moving forward with inclusivity and unity. My love for the Latino culture, more specifically, the Cuban culture, is what has led me to this moment. Coming from an immigrant family myself, I know just how important community and coming together is. Perseverance, strength and family are but a few of things our cultures have in common and I am beyond honored to receive this award. Sitting at the awards ceremony last night with my brother, I felt nostalgic listening to everyone’s sense of pride and coming together to continue building a brighter tomorrow. My heart can never get enough of this I want to thank my brother @cugivinnie for accompanying me in this big moment, you are and forever will be my real MVP I want to thank everyone who voted for me, my fans, my friends and my family. Thank you for listening to my music and supporting my career. I also want to thank my team and all the people who have helped me in the creation of this album, from the music, to the videos, production and realization, leading me to this award. From Montreal to Havana, gracias por todo sus esfuerzos y gran trabajo en este proyecto. Los quiero un montón Signore Dio onnipotente, vengo oggi davanti a Te con il cuore colmo di gratitudine Congratulations to all the winners and nominees as well Que viva la música Latina, que viva el amor y que viva la Salsa!

Dicen que una imagen vale mas que mil palabras Tarantella y Rumba As I have stated in many radio interviews, my goal as an artist, aside from making music, was always to unify and bring people together. This album brought together two cultures, Italy and Cuba, two countries of resilience and strength. Two lands that I hold dear in my heart, for all the wonderful people I have met on my camino. The launch party for La Italiana de la Salsa was EPIC I checked all my boxes, and achieved everything I said I would do, and more. But the most beautiful feeling I felt that night was LOVE. I saw the musicians, the team, happy I saw the public, dancing, smiling and cheering - happy I saw my family and friends, proud, smiling and emotional - happy My heart is happy, it is full of gratitude, and I have God to thank for always protecting me through all the ups & downs. If there is one thing I am sure of, it’s that: Lo Que Esta Pa’Ti - Nadieeeee te lo quitaaaaa Él bien siempre triunfa sobre el mal Grazie Montreal J’ai que du LOVE pour Montreal La Italiana de la Salsa Claudia LENTI by @studiolore.ca the bestttttt #mtl #laitalianadelasalsa #grateful #liveshow #godisgood" 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.
