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

Hi Paola, how do you think about risk?
I think risk is the door a lot of us fear opening that takes us to the next step, no matter which step it might be. Taking risks has helped me not only grow as an artist but as a person, not knowing what’s next is a beautiful yet terrifying thing, but not taking the risk is even more terrifying.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I’ve loved singing and writing since I can remember. I grew up around music 24/7 because everyone in my family has a relation to music or the arts. I come from such an incredible family of musicians/artists that it was difficult for me not to stray that way. I’ve learned so many things, but one of the biggest ones being patience and endurance. There’s days I honestly don’t even know how i’ve gotten through them myself, but I think being firm in your faith is key, not just with God or whatever makes you feel safe, but within yourself. Something that sets me apart is my style definitely. I have so many influences and love so many genres and listen to so much it’s difficult to really cast myself into a box, so I like to do it all.

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?
Well, fun is different for everybody. Living in Miami can give a sense of a party life ambiance, but im not very into that. I’d take my best friend to spend the day at the beach, grab some really good food that is mandatory. We could definitely find a good spot with some good music, but if the music ain’t good you won’t find us there. But I enjoy more 1 on 1 activities and not being overwhelmed to be honest.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I always thank God, only he knows without him I wouldn’t be here. and of course my family, but someone very particular in my family, Paulo Simeon, has not only managed me for years since I was a child, but introduced such a healthy mindset for me to follow and such a beautiful example of a leader. He’s taught me so many things and sacrificed so much for me. shoutout to him for always talking to God for guidance and leading with so much love. i’m forever grateful to him.
