In this SOCAN Academy video, singer-songwriter Ramon Chicharron—a proud representative of his Colombian roots and a Montrealer by choice—shares an inspiring perspective: staying true to your cultural identity can enrich the music industry, rather than simply conforming to it. He offers valuable advice to emerging artists, including the importance of building a strong community to support them throughout their journey. He also reflects on the impact of the Fuego Fuego Festival in shining a light on Montréal’s Latin music scene, as well as the richness of artistic collaborations as catalysts for exchange and mutual growth.
