Hello! My name is Carlos Espinoza Lopez and I am currently a student at the University of Nevada, Reno. Music has always been the best thing in my life, why? Because like many, it has saved my life. Artists from Kid Cudi, XXXTentacion, and Frank Ocean have always been the artists that helped me feel not alone. They showed me that I am not the only one feeling this way, that there are others going through the pain that I am experiencing, but they also showed me that you can turn your past weaknesses into your future strengths. Music is everything to me. I hope to one day convey this message into the lives of others through my work. Love ya!
