'I can sit here and make this song about drugs, money, women and violence that's usually in the hip-hop stuff, but what is that really doing for people?'
that was released in 2020, Rubio has created a unique musical niche, blending Latin beats, hip-hop and pop to form danceable tracks with traces of emo grit.
But Rubio didn't find his sound right away. He grew up learning the piano — starting at only four years old — before teaching himself the guitar and drums. He even studied jazz drums at Denver's Metropolitan State University before leaving school to join the popular local Chicano-funk band"I love playing instruments, singing, writing songs," Rubio says."As far as hip-hop goes, it was like two lanes, two different parts of my life.
"Fan Girl" is an eclectic blend of electronic, pop, punk, trap and Latin music that makes for an extremely catchy summer anthem. But the track is about more than the immersive blend of sound, and Rubio highlights the importance behind the song's lyrics."I want people to know the responsibility that we have as artists with platforms," he explains.
Instead, Rubio is using the track as a"thank you" to his listeners."I care about my listeners, I care about people who come across my music, even if I've never met them," he emphasizes."I want them to know that they're not alone." The new single isn't his only project. Rubio is in the process of writing and producing beats for his first album, and like "Fan Girl," it's all about good vibes."It's more about motivating people and...just letting them know they can accomplish whatever they want," he says.
