Hola amigos || Hello friends

^{Six years ago the door of my house was knocked on by someone who would later become my best friend, a brother that life was offering me. He arrived at one of the most difficult moments of my life. I was in a darkness that was consuming me day by day. He helped me to react, to see life from another perspective, he gave me his hand to support me and lift me up. He taught me that we must be better today than we were yesterday.}

Wilins Mendez (@wilins), así se llama ese gran amigo y hermano que la vida me ha ofrecido. Él es un gran cantautor que desde un principio admiré por su excelente trabajo artístico. Tiene una gran capacidad de convertir cualquier sentimiento en canción. Yo, desde mi pequeño, también soñaba con ser cantante, un músico. Ese sueño por un tiempo tan solo era eso, un sueño, una realidad que no existía. Wilins logró que yo empezara a crear ese mundo. Me acompañó cada día para trabajar en mi voz, en mis canciones, en un proyecto. Él logró que yo creyera en mí y eso hasta ahora, lo sigo agradeciendo. Fue él quien me dio a entender que en la música podemos sanar cualquier herida y ofrécele luz a quien lo necesite.

^{Wilins Mendez (@wilins), that's the name of this great friend and brother that life has offered me. He is a great singer-songwriter that from the beginning I admired for his excellent artistic work. He has a great ability to turn any feeling into a song. I, since I was a child, also dreamed of being a singer, a musician. That dream for a while was just that, a dream, a reality that did not exist. Wilins got me to start creating that world. He accompanied me every day to work on my voice, on my songs, on a project. He made me believe in myself and I am still grateful for that. It was he who made me understand that in music we can heal any wound and offer light to those who need it.}

^{One of many afternoons while he was playing his guitar he told me "we are going to work on some songs for you. Let's polish your voice, educate it and find the best version of you" My surprise was immense but I did not hesitate to accept his offer. One of those songs we worked on was this ¨Ojos Amarillos¨ I had part of the song written but some words didn't fit and his job was to adjust everything, improve and add if necessary. In this case, he creates part of the chorus.}

^{This was the song with which we started the whole teaching process. And let me tell you something, each day was harder than the other. It was not an easy task to forget the bad habit I had of singing. But still, it made me a better person, a better friend, a better son and a better father. This is part of the story of this song, of my beginnings as a musician. And remembering this song makes me very nostalgic because that friend, that brother, today is in other lands, far away from Venezuela. But in every performance, every interview and in every song, I always have Wilins Méndez in mind.}

Quiero agradecer a Hive y a la comunidad de @Aliento quienes fueron parte de los patrocinantes del evento. Gracias al amigo @eddiespino por la confianza a mi persona y disculpa lo tarde del trabajo, pues, las personas encargadas de la producción visual, no cumplieron como esperábamos. Tuvimos que acudir luego de varios meses después a otra persona. Dicha persona fue el director creativo de mi vídeo Ojos amarillo, la que actualmente sigue siendo mi primer single como artista solista. Esa persona lleva por nombre Héctor Granado (@hectgranate). Quiero también, darle las gracias a la amiga @elizabeths14 quien ofreció su disposición en todo momento para la realización de este mágico evento.

^{I want to thank Hive and the @Aliento community who were part of the sponsors of the event. Thanks to my friend @eddiespino for his confidence in me and sorry for the late work, because the people in charge of the visual production, did not comply as we expected. We had to turn to another person after several months. That person was the creative director of my video Ojos Amarillo, which is still my first single as a solo artist. That person goes by the name of Héctor Granado (@hectgranate). I also want to thank my friend @elizabeths14 who offered her willingness at all times for the realization of this magical event.}
