At an early age Steve was taught that artistic talent is not enough, you need to unlock the power to tell your own stories. This drives his passion to advocate for the importance of children’s literature and stories that reflect our own culture. He hopes to influence younger generations to find their own voice, write their own tales, and represent themselves in their art, just as he strives to do.
You’ve played a couple of shows. You have some original songs in your back pocket. You’re ready to grow, but how? Normandie Records, founded by Erick Sanchez, is an independent record company that strives to help artists navigate the complex music industry. Erick talks to us about the music industry, Somos Arte, and collaborating with creatives in El Salvador.
Somos Arte: The Creative Movement of El Salvador is a documentary series highlighting contemporary artists in post-war El Salvador. Erick Sanchez and Jonathan Barrera, both Salvadorans, are the creators behind the project. In this episode they talk about all the love, passion, and work that went into creating this love letter to El Salvador.
