Beto Cuevas is no stranger to the limelight. The Chilean singer, songwriter, guitarist, and producer began his career in the 1980s with the beloved band La Ley, quickly becoming a legend in the Latin music world before launching a solo career that saw him garner a Latin GRAMMY amid a host of other awards and nominations. But for Beto, songwriting and performing isn't about the awards. When he joined us at the Taylor factory to film this episode of Off the Record, Beto told us about taking a multi-perspective approach to creativity, sharing how his work as a visual artist and a fiction writer have helped him unlock greater depth in his songwriting and musical compositions. He talks about the kind of radical self-belief it takes to create songs and connect with audiences, encouraging listeners to start from a place of confidence even when the act of creation feels impossible. He also shares insights into his musical influences, the processes that shape his sound, and the story of his own Taylor guitar.
