CREW SPOTLIGHT: ADU
Behind every live performance is a group of talented creatives helping transform a song from something you hear through headphones into something you can actually experience. For Chipelo, one of the people responsible for bringing that crazy energy to the stage is ADU, a DMV drummer, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and artist whose relationship with music started almost as soon as he could walk.
The Story Behind "La Propuesta"
¿En qué momento era cuando el amor se volvió tan complicado?
Maybe love has always been this way, but it definitely feels different now. Dating in your twenties is… abysmal, treacherous, it sucks, all those synonyms in the thesaurus. In this digital age, people meet through Instagram, dating apps, mutual friends, college parties, bars, clubs... everybody has a history now…
The Story Behind “UN CHANCE MÁS”
¿Qué haces cuando la persona que te gusta se aleja y ni siquiera sabes por qué? Porque esa es básicamente la historia de “UN CHANCE MÁS.”
Esta canción es una de mis favoritas que he hecho. Every artist has songs where they felt like they finally got a little closer to the sound they've been chasing, the artist they’ve always wanted to be. For me, this was one of those songs.

What Graduating College Actually Felt Like
I’ve always loved superheroes, I feel like I can relate to them even more now than I could before, because we both live dual lives. They save people, are larger than life, and then blend into society with their personal identities. I perform and sing and dance, and then I go back to my 9-5 to fund my dreams.
It used to be I go back to class and my studies in university, and I was tired of it because I wanted to spend all my time recording and writing songs vs being in class learning about the sales funnel, but I’m out now. I’m a year out and I feel like Peter Parker at the end of No Way Home (big big big spoiler alerts by the way)…
