Carlo Rincón, aka San Andrea, is a singer and songwriter from Denver, CO. Carlo discusses a feeling of being out of place in most places- being engrained with his Columbian heritage while still "looking white" caused him a lot of social anxiety growing up, which led him to songwriting as an outlet. His love would deepen as he found writing as a way to demonstrate all of his emotions, positive and negative. Carlo also talks about the wide range of possibilities when it comes to success as an artist. Not every artist has to be number one to support themselves.
Intro/ Outro: "23" by San Andrea and Eliza Petrosyan.
