Hello everyone!
My name is Giovanni Mangiante and I'm from Lima, Peru.
I have been making music for quite some time already but I never ventured into promoting my work, whether they are covers or original music.
This is, I believe, mostly because of the insecurities that I'm trying to fight off these days. I've never been good with self-promotion and such but I figured I should give it a shot and see if I can actually make a living out of my art. Or at least get some recognition.
I started back in 2010 producing and writing rap songs for myself. Let me tell you, dear reader, that my lyrics were as awful as Kim Jong-un's hairstyle. I didn't speak English when I was that young so, I had to figure out a way of making rap songs in English and well, yeah, you can imagine how bad that was. Why didn't I use my native language, Spanish? Because I didn't like the sound of it and because one can be so picky.... So, 4 years later, I learned English to the point I even became an English teacher and dictated some classes for awhile.
Now I still make rap songs but with the exception that I also decided to work on Metal, Dark Ambient and DSBM projects. Quite the contrast, am I right?
Anyway, recently I started making covers and uploading them to YouTube (I think this site doesn't allow YT links because of the commercial issue but I'm not monetizing my videos so.. I hope I can sort that out here maybe with an admin or someone in charge) while I prepare my first rap demo and DSBM demo.
I came here to meet new artists, some maybe even pursuing the same musical genres as me, exchange knowledge about the music industry, and promote some of my work.
I hope I didn't bore you with my post and thanks for your time.
Have a good day!
Giovanni.
