Today we’d like to introduce you to Fernando Olivares
Hi Fernando, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
i was inspired by my brother i had no intentions on doing music at first… my whole life i was playing soccer, it was my dream to be a professional soccer player but music touched me in a spiritual way where i can express my feelings. The studio booth was my sanctuary. It healed the broken parts in my life. once i started music i never stopped i’ve been doing it ever since i was 17..
Like i said, i had no intentions doing music at all until i saw how much i inspired the youth with just my music.
Music opened up a door for me to a whole different universe and a clearer vision to where i was destined to be.
I couldn’t believe it at all, the younger kids would come up to me and tell me how much a big fan they were of me and that made me wanna go harder than i already was. After so many years of being in the music industry it put me into a position i thought i would never be in “Hope for the youth”.
Where im at right now, is a very peaceful place. Music lead me into a mindset i never thought i would have.
Im appreciative and thankful i can impact a big audience of kids to be a better role model despite the situation and circumstances they are in.
Sincerely .. Chapo
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Most definitely not a smooth road, i mean nothing that is meant for you is never supposed to come easy. But i mean the obstacles that i had to go through only made me wiser and smarter.
Some of the struggles i had to go through being an Artist was “disappointment” “Dissatisfaction” and not everyone i came across was not my real friend. Only bc they saw what i was accomplishing so it made them feel i was stepping over there toes; but i mean that’s what comes with this lifestyle right? blowing up and being a huge influence will show you who’s really on your side, bad days and good days. At a certain extent ….
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
i work as a care giver for dementia patients at a old folks home
. i am known for my loving heart. i have a big heart when caring for them it has showed me patience’s and strength. i am most proud of getting a award for being “all star of the month “
what sets me apart from others is that i get to know my people on a personal level and understand each one is different and needs different care no one is the same and i don’t just do the bare minimum it’s more than a job to me and they deserve the best care as possible.
This is why my music means more than i thought it would ever be.
What do you like and dislike about the city?
What i like best about the city is the scenery, it’s beautiful seeing the mountains especially in the fall.
What i dislike about the city is there is not much to do out here, not a lot of fun activities to do out here but go to the famous 25th st and have a drink with your best buddy’s lol.
