As Spotify’s selected US Radar Artist, the young music artist has gained huge support from them, and garnered press from publications such as Rolling Stone, V Magazine, Complex, Clash, NME, Billboard and more, recently recording a COLORS HOME/BRED session.
Says Castillo of her latest EP:
“the voicenotes ep is a vulnerable step into overthinking, stressing & learning to let things go. each song has something to do with a part of me that stays hidden most of the time but can only come out and when i’m singing and not having to think about what i’m saying. it’s all the moments i took my thoughts to the voicenotes on my phone and just said what i was feeling super quick so that i could get it out there. i wanted to make something like this because everyone goes through their own shit but it’s the moving on process and the forgiving process that is important. life is gonna suck sometimes but having music to help you through those moments is what really matters in the end.”
