Description

Welcome to a brand new episode of the ¿Quién Tú Eres? podcast, where we explore the conflict we often face between "professionalism" & being our authentic selves. This week's guest is Pedro Fortunato. 

As an American-Dominican born and raised in the melting pot of an environment that is New York City, Pedro Fortunato has been sonically influenced by many styles of music. The genre styles he chooses to interpret range from Bachata to Bolero, Merengue, Afro-Dominican Rhythms & their fusions, as well as hints of Rock, R&B, Jazz & Hip Hop.

With the experimentation of blending genres and pushing the boundaries of certain cultural musical norms, Pedro Fortunato manages to deliver a truly unique sonic experience in a contemporary fashion while highlighting his Dominican roots.

In this week’s episode, Pedro shares how he broke away from the expectations of his family and became a professional musician. Growing up, Pedro knew that he was the oddball of the family. He spent his days playing instruments and dreaming of a career in the music industry. But he knew his family did not approve, so he left home to learn by experience. He joined local Dominican bands and studied in conservatories to hone his craft. Now he’s a Spotify-verified artist with over 40,000 listens across the platform. Listen to hear more about his journey and how he found the courage to perform in front of thousands of fans.

Our mission is to redefine the word "professionalism" by empowering Latino/ Latina/ Latinx communities to be their authentic selves. When we are told to be professional, in many ways we are told to not be ourselves. On this podcast, we have candid conversations and explore the conflict that we often face between being our authentic selves & "professionalism". The podcast is named ¿Quién Tú Eres? because that’s the question that we want each guest to answer. Listen to find out who we really are...when we stop code-switching.
