<\/figure>\n\n\n\nCan you tell us a little about yourself and what you do?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019m a singer-songwriter, producer, composer, and winemaker. I basically make liquid music and auditive wine. I love the balance and harmony that my two projects have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I was born in Guadalajara, Jalisco the land of tequila and mariachi and I was raise in Cabo, Baja California. All my High School years I was in a bilingual system so half of my classes were fully in English with American and Australian teachers, we are talking Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Art, etc. one of my favorite classes was Literature and the first 10 minutes we did this \u201cjournal time\u201d and I remember writing my first songs on those 10 minutes every single day. I learned how to write essays and poetry in English as daily assignments, so I think that\u2019s why my music always have had that bilingual factor, not as a mimic but as a very honest and transparent way to really know me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What inspired you to pursue your music career and wine business?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019m a stutter so communicating efficiently, for me, has always been an important topic and it\u2019s crazy that when I sing, when I\u2019m talking on stage or when I\u2019m on TV doing interviews, I don\u2019t stutter at all, for me it\u2019s almost magical how I\u2019m the most fluent when I\u2019m doing what I love. And in situations when the average person will get nervous, I don\u2019t get nervous at all. For me it\u2019s almost a sign of God telling me: \u201chey to this!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, when I\u2019m doing wine tastings with my brand, Faello Wines, I\u2019m super fluent to the point that even people won\u2019t believe that I stutter like crazy when I talk to my friends or family, I mean I even stutter when I\u2019m talking to my dog Enzo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What is the biggest challenge you\u2019ve faced in your music career & business and how did you overcome it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Wine wise, it\u2019s dealing with all the bureaucracy that having a product like this requires, a ton of paperwork, lawyers, permits etc. I overcame it by learning that I can\u2019t know everything and that there\u2019s no need to stress out with things that are not in my hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And music wise\u2026 oh lord, there\u2019s a constant challenge spree but the biggest one it must be dealing with some heartless people in this industry that will step on you the minute you blink, thank God I produce & write all my own music and of course that I owned all my masters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And the main reason I can overcome it its by surrounding myself with amazing, kind, and talented people such as Daniel Noral and Artero from Mosaico, for real. More than my team they are my family, and that helps a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How do you stay motivated and focused on your goals?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Genuinely by reading the lovely DMs and comments from my fans, like, I love my music of course, but when other people love it too it\u2019s very satisfying and humbling. There\u2019re some stories of fans telling me that my music saved their lives when they were having a rough time, stories of my music being a safe space for them, even one client of Faello Wines tattooed my label on her skin because of the meaning of my label. It\u2019s just so beautiful that what I love to do its touching people in that way. I\u2019m forever grateful.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s the biggest lesson you\u2019ve learned in your career\/business journey so far?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t ever expect to be treat it the way you treat others. I always move with kindness and unilateral love (my therapist hates that last part), so when I expect to be always treated the same way and I\u2019m not\u2026 damn\u2026 that used to really wreck me. So, I learned not to care about the outcome, just care about the love in my input.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s better to not expect anything while you always treat people with love and kindness, cause trust me they will always remember you for that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n How do you define success?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A peaceful and healthy relationship between money, my ego, and witnessing how my dreams become achievements.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n I\u2019m not looking to be a multi-millionaire and I\u2019m not power hungry; I just want to do what I love and have enough in my pockets to go to bed happy and in peace without worrying about my basic needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What is your biggest dream, and how are you working towards achieving it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I have two, I would love to perform on a stadium or big theater with thousands of people just vibing with me. Currently I\u2019m working on growing my fan base and making awesome music. It\u2019s awesome and kind of sad at the same time that currently on Apple Music my audience is bigger in the US and France than in my own country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And the second one, is having my wine on a ton of more places. Going to the supermarket in another country and seeing my wine on a shelf and people engaging with the brand, that must be a very gratifying feeling. Right now, I\u2019m in a couple of restaurants\/bars including the Madison on Park in University Heights in San Diego, and also in a couple of restaurants and boutique stores in Mexico but I want to increase the reach of my brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How do you maintain a healthy work-life balance?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s an amazing question cause a lot of people may thing that everything is about work, hustle and always working but no. For me it\u2019s very important to have my \u201cme\u201d time, a healthy relationship with my work and respectful schedules for things, if there\u2019s a meeting at 1 pm I\u2019m going to be full focus on that, but if I have my 1-hour gym training you can count on me not answering my phone at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s a balance between my responsibilities as a business owner, and my necessities as a human being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What advice would you give to someone just starting out in your field?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Try to perfectionate your art or demos by yourself before going to a music studio, try to educate yourself with YouTube videos at least, about such topics as production and technical terms. I always go the music studio with a full model of my song, full beats, full instrumentation, full lyrics, full arrangements, full demo. And of course, with my co-producers I have some aperture for new ideas, maybe perfectionate the beat, the instrumentation, etc in depends on the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, also it depends on the music studio and the people you are working with, but in my case with that way I make it so much easier for my team to nurture my original idea, cause at the end of the day if I don\u2019t properly project my concept on a song, I won\u2019t release it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, be honest and truthful with yourself, if you just want to be a singer, that\u2019s completely fine, but then you must trust your producer. I have seen a ton of this examples and that\u2019s why I rather be my main producer, songwriter, and performer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What is something that people often misunderstand about your work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, what I mentioned before, some people think I use Spanglish in my music as a mimic, as being fake or as a marketing tactic, when in reality that\u2019s exactly who I am. And even in the beginning of my career some producers advised me to not include English in my lyrics\u2026 when in reality I have friends and fans all around the world that at least can understand the English parts of my music. It annoys me that I have to explain my art when in it comes to that topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I don\u2019t want barriers in my art because I don\u2019t live with those barriers. If I want to make music with my Belgic producer friend, I can. And of course, the communication would be between English and my A2 French. If I want to do an interview with my awesome friends from Dizzy Diddy of course I can, my English won\u2019t be perfect but it\u2019s not a barrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What is something that you\u2019re passionate about outside of your work\/business?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I love painting, there\u2019s something so personal and intimate with that. I\u2019m not a professional and I\u2019m not planning to sell it or anything, I just love to put some Lana del Rey on vinyl and paint whatever I want to paint. It feels therapeutic.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n What is something you wish you knew when you were just starting out in your music career?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n That more than a romantic dream is a full-on business industry. Which is completely fine, but I was so na\u00efve to understand that before. There\u2019s no fairy godmother with a magical wand that will make you famous, nor a talent hunter that will bet in you project magically because \u201cthey believe in your talent\u201d. And that has helped me a lot to understand which tools I currently have, and which subjects I need to polish more, so maybe in the future if I need a record label to invest in my project, I can knock that door with an already stablished fan base, sound an image completely curated by me, the artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How do you deal with failure or setbacks?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n As an independent artist, failure and setbacks are constant and of course are huge feelings that have made me feel very sad at moments, but now I understand it\u2019s part of what I do, and what I signed for. It\u2019s not something personal to me anymore when record labels won\u2019t promote your music even when they promised to on a contract. To me that\u2019s not failure, that\u2019s a breach of contract. It\u2019s not something personal to me when a fellow musician wants to make me feel less because of my stream numbers, to me that\u2019s not failure, that\u2019s someone with insecurities that everybody in my city knows buys their streams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFailure\u201d in my industry is such a tricky term, because you would think that it can be showed in your stream numbers, but I have seen millions of streams on a song but just 10 people showing to that artist\u2019s show. I have seen a sold-out 300 people venue in your first show with just a few monthly listeners. I have seen artists with an amazing engagement with fans on social media and not even a thousand streams on a song. I have seen artists lie about the most horrendous things in order to get a million views on a TikTok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What I want to say is that people in this industry have a very different meaning of \u201cfailure\u201d, but my personal one goes hand to hand with my values, and morals. I rather be a \u201cfailure\u201d of an artist than a \u201cliar\u201d or \u201cfailure\u201d of a human being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What is one thing that you have accomplished that you\u2019re most proud of?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n My wine brand, working hand to hand with my business partner and created something so amazing and full of liquid love is something that always makes me so incredibly proud.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n How do you stay innovative and adapt to changing circumstances in your music field?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019m always studying and learning by watching documentaries, reading books, articles, essays, etc. I think that\u2019s what makes my music and art so meaningful for me and my fans, because it goes beyond \u201cwhat\u2019s happening to me\u201d or \u201cwho am I in love with now\u201d, since my music is very conceptual, I\u2019m always growing my musical universe by growing myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finding inspiration in non-conventional places is what makes my music what it is. I could transform my love for fashion, architecture, literature, cinematography into a song. That goes beyond what\u2019s trendy in the music industry, is more of a what was happening culturally when I wrote, produced, and recorded such song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I can listen to a song and think \u201coh I remember I was in love with Hemann Hesse\u2019s \u2018Steppenwolf\u2019 at that moment\u201d and that sends me to a beach in Valencia when I was in love and thought the world was mine and how I was so angry with the main character of the book. That sort of undirecting stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, can you share something about your next projects?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Wine wise, we will be releasing our first Nebbiolo, which I\u2019m super excited because it\u2019s my favorite grape variety. And the grape that made me fall in love with wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And music wise, I just released my conceptual EP \u201cProyecto: Energyyy\u201d which I love so much. Please keep streaming it. And currently I\u2019m getting ready for my next single that is very very sensual, Dark Pop, Hip\/Hop, and at the end it has this cathartic climax that I\u2019m obsessed with, it\u2019s my favorite song I\u2019ve done so far. It\u2019s technically finished since the end of last year and I can\u2019t wait for all of you to listen and vibe with it. And you know me, of course it\u2019s going to be part of its own new full universe such as my debut album \u201cJUNGLE, ULTRA\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCelebrating Impactful Achievements Across Various Fields\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n DIZZYDIDDY+PLUS has launched a new initiative called \u201cFace of the Week,\u201d which aims to showcase the achievements of men and women who are making an impact in various fields, including entrepreneurship, entertainment, education, communication, and more. Each week of the year, from January to December, a new face will be introduced to the public through DIZZYDIDDY+PLUS\u2019s platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many of these faces of the week will also be honored at the Crownys<\/a>, which are the DIZZYDIDDY+PLUS Awards<\/a> and where all the faces and people who worked or partnered with DIZZYDIDDY+PLUS will be celebrated. The ultimate goal of this initiative is to give recognition and exposure to individuals who are making a positive difference in their respective fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The initiative will culminate with the release of a printed magazine in December for the Face Of The Year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By highlighting the achievements of these individuals, DIZZYDIDDY+PLUS hopes to inspire and encourage others to pursue their passions and make a positive impact in the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ezra Faello, a talented Mexican artist born on January 19, 1995, is making waves in the music industry as a producer, singer, songwriter, and winemaker.
