Meet Gesel Durana | Artist, Singer, Dancer , Writer & Family Vlogger

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

Hi Gesel, have you ever found yourself in a spot where you had to decide whether to give up or keep going? How did you make the choice?
The way I know whether to keep going or to give up is by how much happiness what I’m doing, brings into my life. I need to feel deeply connected to my passion so I can achieve my goals, and learn from my mistakes so I can have growth in my process. Having the right support system and Faith makes it that much easier. When one is connected to their passion it turns into an endless hustle of not giving up no matter what life throws at you. The negative and impossible might seem impossible to accomplish but hard work and dedication always pays off in the years you put in. Living a life feeling fulfilled to what you love, and having a balance in the things you do brings joy that surpasses understanding. It’s easier to give up and harder to keep going when you see no progress. But it’s more fun to keep going and seeing your growth .

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
What sets me apart from others is the passion and determination I have for the things I do on my social media. I don’t give up, and my journey is a long one but it been so much fun by far this past 3 years with the opportunity social media has given me. The part of my journey that makes me most proud and excited is how I started. Going from ASMR with my husband, to my dancing , then I started writing my own songs while using artist instrument, and now the Family vlog I started because of my first child. I wanted to help other moms and dad who are parents what might or might not work with their kids and just show them the Life as first time parents , jogging a passion for music and dance and dealing with life unexpected challenges. I’m not yet a professional in my field, I wish to become a popular Singer / dancer and family vlogger. But one day God will I will. It’s not easy having to deal with life and family and taking time to perfect your craft and grow and also do family videos and post them on social medias but it’s a joy I can’t explain. I love my subscribers, they’re my biggest supporters and they inspire me to keep going because they say I inspire them to be fearless and I make their day with my videos. I also built good friendship in my community. The biggest lesson I learnt this past 3 years is nothing is easy, life is one, and if you really want to accomplish Big Dreams into reality, prayer and God is the only way and keep working on your craft no matter how long it may take. It can take up to 10 years but if you never give up, one day everything you wished for will come . What is meant for you, will never miss you . What I would love the world to know about me and my brand and story is that I’m a chill positive person. I love to go against all odds, and I don’t give up in all the things I do. I love hard and I’m a amazing loyal friend to everyone and I want to impact people life with positivity and love because we all need it .

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I would take my best friend to Denver Colorado. It’s my favorite State. I love it there and I travel there 3 times a year with my husband and now my baby. Which I named my baby Denver because that’s how much Denver. Hahaha. I would take her to eat ChoLon it’s an amazing Asian restaurant. Their dumpling is amazing. And noddles . Yummy. Also the Guard and Grace Modern Steakhouse . They have the best steak ever. And amazing drinks. I would take my best friend to the coors brewery tour. It’s such an experience to see how the beer is made and the factory itself. Plus you can have cool light beer haha. My husband and I love basketball so I would take her to the Ball Arena it’s so beautiful inside and we get to support the Denver Nuggets. I would also take her to the St. Evans Mountains to their summit so beautiful ! Also the Roxborough State Park, great for walking / hiking and amazing photos / videos. Also the Red Rock Park, The best ever . And just everywhere else in the area . The people in Colorado are friendly and they always say Hi or Wave during our hiking experience.
