What’s special about iBuildBridges?
It was after a gig in Seattle, and I got a chance to talk with Eduardo. He told me about the mission, which is to build relationships and communicate through music with other people from across the globe. And I was sold. That’s such a big thing with music, and that’s why it holds such a dear place in my heart. Because you can build relationships with anyone.
What are your musical influences?
My musical influences come from my family. I was raised in a house with tons of music, so I was always listening, always dancing, always singing. So over time it just naturally developed as a passion for me.
What have you learned about bringing people together?
Sit down and listen. Get a full understanding of what’s going on. Then you can actually form an opinion based on your own moral compass and try to find that middle ground with other people instead of enforcing your ideas.
