Hi there, my name is Katesley Arriola and I am mostly playing music, however I love to experiment with other genres, because I believe that there is always something to learn and so much experience to gain. As I was growing up, I was exposed to the beauty of music by my Dad, who I would say is my biggest influence, as he was the bassist in a band with his friends. They would play at parties and small gigs. I was mesmerised by them, how it lit up with excitement as they fed off the energy in the crowd. It really made my love of music overwhelm me in the best way and as the beat of the drums matched the beat of my heart, I had a feeling of euphoria that I now always feel when I perform for others.

I have been playing the guitar for 7 years and I have performed at concerts and gigs in college but my favourite performance, by far, must be when I performed alongside my Dad’s band. Because it hit me with a feeling of how much time has flew,  as I watched how much fun they seemed to have and then there I was playing guitar and singing with them. In April of 2020, I decided to start my own YouTube Channel, where I post covers and some originals and since starting the Channel, I have gained 194 subscribers and roughly 20,000 views overall. I am dedicated to continuing to grow my platform to share my love of music.
