We had the good fortune of connecting with Ariel Castillo and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Ariel, what do you attribute your success to?
The important factor behind my success would have to be my social media’s, networking, performing, meeting up at community events, believing in my self, positive mental attitude, branding, marketing, doing things for free sometimes, praying, & having a loving support system.
Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
My Art Is Podcasting & Performing Live Music! What I think that sets me the most apart is I perform private shows for Nursing homes/Memory Cares Around The States. I play originals and covers to the residents. It was not easy to figure out how to get bookings. But through non stop cold calls, emails, and word of mouth I’m able to do this 3-5 times a month. I overcame these challenges because I kept praying and believing! God Jesus put this idea in my mind for a reason & my job was to figure out how to make it happen. The lessons I learned along the way is never quit, write down notes, & to always keep persisting. I want the world to know about me is I love God Jesus and All my Art, Talents, Music, Podcast, blessings come from him. I also want the world to know I love animals, outdoors, video games, oceans, lakes, family, and reading the Bible.
My podcast I started in February 2020. “Welcome To Ariel’s Podcast. The Mother of All Entertainment! From Music, Comedy, Art, Entertainers, Community, & a Little of Conspiracies Will Be Discussed”. I drop 1-3 episodes a week.
