From Peru to the Stage: Stubbornness, Identity, and the Grind of Live Music - Hugo Meets Alex Withmory
About this episode
Hugo and Alex Withmory discuss the challenges and triumphs of navigating the music industry as a Peruvian artist in LA.
Hugo sits down with Alex Withmory — a fellow Peruvian, a wildly talented drummer, and someone Hugo has been rooting for since they crossed paths on a music video set seven years ago. In this one, they get into what it was like coming to LA barely knowing English, finding your footing in a music scene where Peruvians are few and far between, and how stubbornness can be your greatest strength and your biggest obstacle at the same time. Alex opens up about what it means to build your identity around your craft — and what happens when you start to question whether that's enough. They also touch on the role of AI in the music industry, why live music might be the last thing technology can truly replace, and the beauty of just saying yes to gigs and seeing where they take you.
