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

Hi Carmen, what role has risk played in your life or career?
I believe in taking risks. I would never become the person I am today without, taking risks.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?

I grew up in a very musical family. I started writing in my journal and writing poetry as a young girl. Writing was my way of escaping into my own little world and is still very therapeutic for me to this day. I am so proud of recently releasing and Album and one EP with my sister (Paula Cantu) and co- owner of CAN2 music. Our music label.  We believe that we can empower woman and help all artists.

Artist-Can2 – SELF TITLE ALBUM- CAN2 release 1.13.23
THE VENUS LUNA PROJECT – EP (ORION) 2.2.23

I have been very blessed to have many mentors, who have believed in me, since the beginning of my music career. I have been blessed to work with such talented singers and producers and DJS.

It has not been easy , this industry is very hard but I just keep on writing and I will never stop. I really learned that you cant give up. just because things get hard.

Just keep on believing in yourself. I learned that it takes a team of people to help you achieve your goals. I also learned to not be afraid to ask for help. I believe that you have to help other people make their dreams come true. We can empower each other.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I would take them to Hollywood Beach- Sunset Club Roof top

Sit by the pool
