We’re looking forward to introducing you to Anie Delgado. Check out our conversation below.
Hi Anie, thank you for taking the time to reflect back on your journey with us. I think our readers are in for a real treat. There is so much we can all learn from each other and so thank you again for opening up with us. Let’s get into it: What do the first 90 minutes of your day look like?
My morning routines are sacred to me. It’s so important to start my day off right so I have the energy to get through the demanding days as an indie artist. When I wake up, I try to see sunlight right away. I take my pup Beau for a two mile walk. When we’re back, I usually make myself a full breakfast and write in my journal. A few months ago I started the Artists’ Way and writing three pages in my journal has been a game changer for getting all of my thoughts out first thing so I am a blank slate for the rest of the day. And before I get on with my day, I have lots of coffee.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m an independent artist and songwriter. I make vulnerable dance pop. If you like Charli XCX or Lorde or Rosalia then you might like my music too. I just released an EP called hopeless about the manic highs and rock bottom lows of being a hopeless romantic. I’m working on a project for next year as well.
Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. Who were you before the world told you who you had to be?
Before the world told me who I had to be I was an effervescent little girl. I was bossy and opinionated and a massive yapper. I was creative and always making up a song or a dance. When I need to tap into my creativity or power, I channel her.
Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
Yes, literally two nights ago. I want to give up all of the time, but the love for making music keeps me going. To elaborate, I had a crash out to my husband about the unrealistic demands of artists being content creators. I genuinely want to be an elusive mysterious cool artist, but the industry is in a weird place right now and it requires you to really put yourself out there on social. How that looks for me? I am still figuring it out. Where I find enjoyment in it is being creative and coming up with fun concepts for videos and finding other women like me who connect to my music.
So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. Is the public version of you the real you?
I think it’s pretty close. We all self-edit when we’re in public even with friends and it’s impossible not to do that with an online audience but I think I keep it pretty authentic online. I post about the things I care deeply about. I talk the way I would talk to my friends or family. If anything I have a hard time not being authentic. I wish I had a cool enigmatic artist persona but that’s just not me.
Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. When do you feel most at peace?
I feel the most at peace with my family and my dog or when I’m out of my comfort zone traveling to a different country.
