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.

A reminder ⏱

Claudia Lenti — Mon, 19 Sep 2022 17:32:54 +0000

I don’t plan on making this a long blog, but let’s see how it goes…

I have always found September to be a weird month. It is the end of Summer, the weather changes and the cold begins to set in. For many, it is a difficult month. Less parties, darker days, that looming idea that Winter is coming. It may be the reason that it puts people off their axis. I generally end up retreating in the month of September. Energy is important and so is the exchange of it. People act kind of funny and odd, and it is most likely because they are going through something, but I am still careful about what I choose to absorb and not. Same goes for what I choose to transmit. It appears this blog might be longer than I expected.

Retreating for me is a moment of self-reflection. I will spend some days doing absolutely nothing and just relax, and this pause will allow for more creativity and ideas to bloom. I also get back into my workouts and healthy eating in a more consistent fashion. My more structured self helps balance out my unstructured self, and together, they kind of make it happen.

Writing is my saving grace. Some texts I keep, some turn into songs, others are just ideas on hold for a future time. The coloured post-its can be seen all over my room, and I end up stacking the notebooks in my purse. Without noticing, I end up healing and flowing into the future of my art. This is how my art is born. So in summary, it is in loving myself, setting boundaries, and taking the time that I need for me, that I re-energize and blossom into something better; moving from one season to the next.

As the seasons change, so can we

Months ago, in May to be exact, I wrote a song called Love Yourself. Like many of my songs, they sit somewhere on the back-burner until I feel the time is right to share it with the world. I have been hoarding one too many so I am letting this one free.

I feel that now is the time. The lyrics are very direct and clear. It is a song I wrote for all women who have been mistreated and who fear leaving an uncomfortable yet abusively comfortable relationship. Maybe, as October sets in, and the season changes, and the leaves change colours, we too, can change our season, our clock, what we choose to accept and what we choose to let go.

So, I will end this blog here and remind everyone, as I remind myself daily, that you need to Love Yourself.

Peace peeps and be well

Chapter 4: Next Single – GLOW

The Story behind 'GLOW'

You know that look someone gives you when they are completely infatuated with you? Their eyes light up and glow and something inside of them, and you, comes alive. Sometimes it’s love, other times its passion, and it can also be both.

Can we agree to disagree that it can mean different things for the parties involved? Is it safe to say that “love” is not as simple as we imagined it to be, after watching all those wonderful Disney movies (some of which I still watch over and over today – HA!).

As humans, we glow for many reasons. We glow for lust and for the unattainable. We glow because we feel loved, or simply because we have someone’s attention. We can glow in unknown places when there is a lack of it in our current love nest, and sometimes despite all the love, we can still glow for someone else. We can also glow for ourselves…

Love triangles have existed for a long time. For the sake of this song, I am referring to an exclusive couple whereby one of the two is involved with someone else, a.k.a. cheating to many. So many stories exist with many different points of views and feelings and this blog is not intended to offend any point of view but rather, respect them.

There are happily coupled people, others not so much. At times, one or both are involved with others. Some outside party relations exist because albeit their unhappiness, they are stigmatized by divorce and afraid of the gossip it will spew should they leave each other. Some are bound for financial reasons. Some are in love with someone else of the same gender, but they have not yet come out to their family and friends, or don’t plan to. Some are simply in other relations for sexual purposes.

The point is, there are many reasons for why love triangles exist. As a society I believe we have work to do when it comes to judging these triangles. I am sure we each know someone with a story. I can tell you that I do, and they are all good people, living in complicated situations.

And so, in this next song, I explore and touch upon this subject lightly, with the underlying message being that the decisions of accepting or not accepting any complicated situation really comes down to you. If you are happy in your situation then live it. If one day you are not, then don’t. I will let the lyrics and the video tell the rest of this story….

It can be easy to start off in any relationship with a temporary status in mind, an expiration date if you will. Sometimes promises are made and not kept and so that can keep a person in a situation longer. Yet, one can also lose track of time and find themselves changing and realizing that they are no longer comfortable in a situation. Just like, someone may be unhappily married and accept to suffer for years until one day, they just can’t suffer anymore.

Bottom line: we are all human, in search of love and all its surrounding parts.

‘Glow’ tries to encompass just that, with one tiny story amongst so many that are all worth attention and care.
