Rodrigo Fernández

My name is Rodrigo Fernández and I’m  currently 15 years old. 
I was born in Cali — Colombia but lived in Bogotá for 7 years before I went to Manizales 
where I’ve stayed for 5 years now. 

I like music a lot and I’d like to be a musician in a few years. I learned how to play the piano

and how to sing by myself but I don't really do it in front of others, but still, I really like doing 

it. My favorite music genres are pop and blues, but anyways; It has always been easy for me

to get along with instruments and music and I’ve been trying for some years now to write 

songs but in order to do it correctly I’ve also been trying to read and write so that I can learn

new vocabulary and ways of writing as well as rhyming. 

I believe the music industry is unfair. It is because, there is a lot of people with better singing 

voices or music production than anyone else, yet they’re not noticed by music companies 

like interscope records which is one of the most recognized as well as warner music. 

These people can show their talents online, maybe through YouTube or blogs, and they 

might also win money and get a lot of fans but just that.

 Music companies will barely care to even contact you no matter how good you are, you have

to be constantly keeping up with their schedules, sending demos and original music which

they will probably won’t even take the time to listen to or even judge. Yeah, sometimes it can 

be a manager’s fault or a reviewer’s fault, whoever receives those daily emails with 

people’s original creations for deleting them or placing them as spam, but other times 

is just not fair that a company takes a normal singer and give them almost free production 

and creative rights to their mediocre works when you’re doing your best, sometimes all by

yourself to work for those companies. Almost every musician’s dream is to have recognized 

work, not just stay in the shadows with your talent.
