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

Hi Jose, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
I already loved writing and creating every since i was a kid. Once i thought of other stuff to do as a career, i couldnt see myself being happy doing anything else but music

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Persistence over resistance, youll see what people like and what they dont , then you just Cross out what doesnt work. You gotta be malleable or it wont be easy to work out the rough edges. Be willing to lose its the only way to win

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
El de la barbacoa is the first stop before we go have a beer at Ojos Locos , take them downtown to the waffle bus for some breakfast, The art Museum is a must Before having some burgers at freddies

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Id like to give a Shoutout to my friends that always kept my head up and wanting to do more w music even thoe i felt like i wouldn’t be capable
