#MyNowo: “Be true to who you are and pursue it. Holding back will only hinder you from where you could be if you give it a try.”
We all go through things in life such as job loss, break-ups, family drama, etc., but how does one cope?
By binging a Netflix series? Escaping to the world of Fortnite? Painting your stress out? Or perhaps dropping a few lyrical bars that remind you just how talented you are? In this case, becoming a musical artist was an outlet for Angel Mendez!
Inspired by the one and only Nicki Minaj (the Infamous female rapper), Angel saw his 2017 setbacks as nothing more than motivation to pursue his true passion. The song was “Chun-li” by Nicki Minaj that motivated him to create a freestyle which he later shared on Instagram. Upon receiving great feedback from friends & viewers, Angel knew that music was his life passion. 3 years, 8 singles & 1 album later Angel is grinding harder than ever with his music that now reaches fans worldwide.
Now we all know that the journey of a musical artist is rigid & competitive so what makes Angel stand out?
Being a gay Hispanic musical artist who raps about his experiences in a way that genuinely makes you think. His lyrics take you through the ups and downs of his life but are meant to inspire at the end of the day.

When asked about his end goal, Angel gave us these words – “I want to continue producing music that inspires people worldwide. I will continue to be that person people can relate to so they know they aren’t alone.” *drops mic*
We are here to support the passion and wish nothing but the best for Angel on this pursuit!
