22. Ego is a Tool, not a Guide: Keeping it Real with opera singer & vocal coach, Abraham Cruz

In this captivating episode of Music on Mushrooms, I sit down with Abraham Cruz, an operatic bass-baritone and vocal coach based in San Antonio, TX. Abraham shares his unique path in the world of opera, offering a glimpse into the importance of following your own path in an industry that pushes a “one path” narrative. We acknowledge that building a fulfilling career in the arts looks different on everyone.

Abraham opens up about his journey towards financial stability as an artist, discussing the importance of diversifying income streams. He offers a candid look at the pros and cons of young artist programs, providing invaluable advice on what to look for when auditioning for these opportunities.

Our conversation delves into the necessity of staying authentic and spiritually grounded in an industry that often promotes a scarcity mindset. Abraham shares his insights on the dual nature of the ego in the performance industry, highlighting how it can both drive and hinder an artist's progress.

Join us for an honest and inspiring discussion that will resonate with musicians and performers at all stages of their careers. You can find Abraham on Instagram @abraham.isai.cruz
