Meet smile peso | Artist

We had the good fortune of connecting with smile peso and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi smile, why did you pursue a creative career?
I’ve always been attracted to art to since I was a kid. It’s always been a symbiotic relationship. Any medium I could use to express myself I did it. There was this spirit of emotions waiting to be released across paintings, music, and writing. I care deeply about authenticity in art. I want my emotions to be able to connect with others. I want to make people feel again. Art is such a hallucinogenic , it can make people see and feel things , take people to places they’ve never been . Such a power to have, to be able to conjure emotions, reflection, memories, in other people. We must use it responsibly.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I would say I am a pretty self aware person. I have spent a lot of time in study and reflection. It took a lot for me to finally discover myself as a human being. That discovery translates into my art, I would say there’s nothing that sounds like what I do. Also, the level of authenticity and vulnerability that is in the writing, I have never been afraid of exposing myself on a spiritual level artistically. Stripping the idea of what the self is. I try to be completely open and having a level of trust with people or the audience .

I have a new album on the way, new bonus tracks and videos. I always like to be creating, this next project I’ve very excited about , it’s my most personal and reflective yet and the sound is like nothing anybody has ever heard.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I’m from Ashtabula,OH , there’s really not much except run down buildings and the same things you’d in counter in a bigger city. The shining jewel would be Bridge St. A strip of beautiful fine dining restaurants and bars. Other than that, no where , there’s really nothing to do.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
