00:00Hello, Mariposa. Welcome to People VIP. How are you?
00:07Hello, very good, very good. Thank you very much. And you, how are you?
00:11Very good. Happy that you are here with us as a VIP guest.
00:15Thank you, thank you for inviting me.
00:17Well, let's talk about music, about you, your name and style, your music.
00:24But I have a woman who has a lot to say. Tell us, what inspired you to make music?
00:28And what is the main message you want to convey with your songs?
00:32Well, for now, what I really like to say in my songs is to talk a lot about my mental state.
00:42Also my own experiences, like everything I went through.
00:47I feel like, personally, for example, in my own family, it is not something that is talked about a lot.
00:55And from time to time it feels like a taboo to talk about the mental state.
01:00Because you don't have to complain and move forward and not look back, like that.
01:05And I think that living like this results in generational traumas.
01:12And I try to avoid that and I know that I will not be the change.
01:17And I try to have more conversations about this topic.
01:27Of course, it is an undeniable reality.
01:33Precisely speaking of this, your music speaks about this social reality.
01:39And it is precisely at this moment that the world is going through a strong wave of anxiety.
01:44Mental health is a topic that must be discussed.
01:46And you are very young.
01:47But what do you think, in recent years, why has this topic developed so significantly?
01:54Do you think it is due to social media?
01:56Is it due to access to information?
01:58What do you think is due to this? Tell us.
02:01I think social media has helped a lot.
02:06Because it makes it easier for you to understand how other countries solve problems.
02:15So, living in the Netherlands, which is Europe,
02:21it is easier to manage these feelings and go to therapy.
02:31And, for example, in a country like the Netherlands, therapy is no longer taboo.
02:36So, here, parents, at the age of 10 or 9,
02:39if they feel that they need to talk about something, they put them in therapy.
02:43My mom has always been a little difficult with that.
02:48Over time, she adapted, obviously, because you also live here.
02:53And you can continue to be stubborn and not want to change.
02:58But in the end, you will feel it after a while.
03:01So, I think that in places like the Netherlands,
03:07where there are people who feel more comfortable talking about their mental state,
03:11if you see a person from a country over there talking about those feelings,
03:15who knows, faster you can feel like,
03:18well, I don't have this alone.
03:20There is another person who has something comparable to me,
03:23even if he is from another country, has another life, has other parents.
03:27You already have something comparable.
03:29And I think that helps a lot to open the conversation.
03:33Because, for example, when I was young,
03:36I also often thought that it was better not to talk about it,
03:39because I'm going to be the crazy one, I'm going to be the depressive one,
03:43the one who can't handle feelings.
03:46But that's more like the fears that speak to us,
03:50like the fears that tell us that you have to be afraid of this,
03:54you have to be afraid of the other.
03:56But at the end of the day, it is the reality that we are humans
04:00and we feel things and we have to talk about those things
04:03instead of putting it in a bottle and throwing it out the window.
04:07And well, let's talk a little bit about your EP called Inframundo.
04:10Why this title?
04:12And what are the songs that you can highlight from this EP?
04:16Inframundo was more because the first EP was called Otro Mundo,
04:20because I, as an artist, I don't want to clarify,
04:23I don't want to say, ah, this is the only genre I'm going to do.
04:26So for me it was a lot like trap, drill, more alternative,
04:31but also an evaporation.
04:33And then, from the beginning I found out that this was going to be very chaotic
04:37for people who are going to listen.
04:39So I know I'm chaotic,
04:41but I imagine that for people it's going to be very chaotic.
04:44So the first EP is called Otro Mundo,
04:47to explain how euphoric, how beautiful, how soft, how calm,
04:53but also how hard, how dark.
04:58And those two worlds that come together.
05:03So Otro Mundo is like using those two worlds together.
05:09And with Inframundo, the idea is more to focus on the darkness,
05:14because at the end of the day, the aggressiveness,
05:17the feeling of being aggressive, in a way,
05:22are the feelings that make me feel more comfortable.
05:27It's a shame, obviously,
05:29but for now it's the feelings that make me feel more comfortable.
05:33So expressing myself also feels more comfortable
05:36in these genres that are very energetic,
05:40aggressive, with a lot of sounds and bass and everything.
05:45So Inframundo is like focusing more on the dark side,
05:51since in my process of making music,
05:54I found out that this is going to be the biggest space
05:59that I'm going to try to shed light on,
06:01and I'm going to have other genres to complete it.
06:06Great, Mariposa.
06:07Well, and to finish our interview,
06:09if you could please send a greeting
06:11to all the friends of People in Spanish
06:13and invite them to listen to your next music project.
06:19Greetings to all the people who watch and listen to People in Spanish.
06:23I invite you all to listen to my new EP,
06:26which is called Inframundo.
06:28And I'm very curious to know what you think of the EP,
06:31so let me know too.
06:32And I send you a big hug and a kiss.
06:37Bye.
