Desde niña Faye a sido instruida en la música por el amor de sus abuelos hacia la iglesia.
Al comienzo sus tonalidades rítmicas no eran muy llamativas ni coordinadas y el motivo era que no le importaba mucho tocar este piano para unas personas adultas en un salon cerrado.
Pero luego de varios esfuerzos y con un enfoque hacia evangelizar con juguetes a mas niños en las obras de la iglesia, sintió que divertirse y disfrutar con gente de su edad era la motivación que necesitaba para tomarse las cosas enserio.
From childhood, Faye was introduced to music through her grandparents’ love for the church.
At first, her rhythmic patterns weren’t very striking or coordinated, and the reason was that she didn’t care much about playing the piano for adults in a closed room.
But after several attempts and with a focus on evangelizing more children through play at church events, she felt that having fun and enjoying herself with people her own age was the motivation she needed to take things seriously.
El resultado de su talento le permitio llamar la atencion del publico hacia una gran promesa artistica y no era de extrañar que aquellas obras teatrales con muñecos y musica asistida por ella llenaran la iglesia, pues desbordaba creatividad y carisma de una forma espectacular conectándose con su audiencia.
Her talent drew the public's attention to her as a promising young artist, and it was no surprise that the puppet shows and musical performances she helped direct filled the church to capacity, as she exuded creativity and charisma in a spectacular way, connecting deeply with her audience.
Un productor musical que asistió al culto vio el potencial de la niña e hizo un contrato con la abuela de ella para que esta animara comerciales de television y algunos shows infantiles en vivo haciendo de acompañante musical para los espectáculos recreativos con niños.
A music producer who attended the service saw the girl's potential and signed a contract with her grandmother for her to appear in television commercials and on some live children's shows, providing musical accompaniment for children's entertainment programs.
Y para sorpresa de todos estos personajes infantiles del show se hicieron altamente populares, y mucho de su exito se debio al carisma de la chica al conectar al publico hunto a la musica y los actores con disfraces.
Mucha mercadería de el show lleno almacenes y gran ganancia de estos fue también reconocida para Faye y su familia (pues el director del show de tv sabia que si no mantenía a la artista musical en su canal satisfecha, lo mas provable es que la competencia le ofrezca mejores incentivos económicos y su programa de tv junto con sus peluches se iría en picada al piso).
Con la situación económica resuelta de su familia, Faye continuo sus estudios escolares y musicales y cuando llego a los 16 años decidió probar su faceta de solista como artista en la musica.
Sus composiciones musicales desbordan alegria y carisma, y si hablo de ese estilo de musica que pone a vibrar estadios y multitudes donde todos corean en voz alta las canciones y saltan de alegria.
Faye demostró que hacer música por divertirse con su publico es la clave para ser feliz ella misma y llevar alegría a los demás.
Muchas disqueras famosas y muchos pastores evangélicos de gran calibre quieren hacer un contrato multimillonario con ella para sus propios beneficios (de atraer masas de publico), pero Faye va en modo independiente, pues sabe que el día que la obliguen a componer música por dinero su magia para esto se iría.
With her family’s financial situation settled, Faye continued her academic and musical studies, and when she turned 16, she decided to try her hand at a solo career as a musician.
Her musical compositions overflow with joy and charisma—the kind of music that gets stadiums and crowds buzzing, with everyone singing along at the top of their lungs and jumping for joy.
Faye has shown that making music to have fun with her audience is the key to her own happiness and to bringing joy to others.
Many famous record labels and high-profile evangelical pastors want to sign her to a multimillion-dollar contract for their own benefit (to attract massive audiences), but Faye is going the independent route, because she knows that the day they force her to compose music for money, her magic for it would be gone.
Nile es un chico de una vida difícil, de un barrio humilde lleno de problemas de seguridad y de pocos recursos desamparado por el gobierno.
Nile is a young man who has had a difficult life, growing up in a poor neighborhood plagued by safety issues and lacking in resources, and neglected by the government.
Desde niño ha salido adelante en su vida junto con la ayuda de su tio, pues sus padres murieron debido a la delincuencia de la zona en un robo fallido a su anterior vivienda.
Since he was a child, he has managed to get by with the help of his uncle, as his parents were killed in a failed robbery at their former home due to crime in the area.
Su trabajo para sobre vivir es la recolección del reciclaje, muchos de sus otros amigos de su edad lo insitan a que se vuelva pandillero, pero su tio lo regaña cada vez que puede y lo instruye moralmente para que no caiga en malos pasos.
Entre sus regaños habituales estan: (¿para que quieres ser pandillero, para matar a otra familia y dejar a niños sufriendo?).
Nile trata de llevar una vida balanceada, entre jugar con los compañeros del barrio al futbol y hacer travesuras, pero sin rosar la raya de consumir algo ni prestarse para hacer algo ilícito.
entre sus pasatiempos con ellos es jugar a improvisar rimas de rap, y vaya Nile que desarrollo talento para esto, muchas de sus historias eran veridicas de otras pantillas, otras historias narrativas de sus amigos de fechorias al punto tal que su narrativa se convirtio en himno que todos los de su barrio coreaban con orgullo de las buenas letras que se componia el Nile.
He makes a living by collecting recyclables. Many of his friends his age urge him to join a gang, but his uncle scolds him whenever he can and gives him moral guidance so he doesn’t go down the wrong path.
Among his usual admonitions are: “Why do you want to be in a gang—to kill another family and leave children suffering?”
Nile tries to lead a balanced life, between playing soccer with his neighborhood friends and getting into mischief, but without crossing the line into using drugs or getting involved in anything illegal.
Among his pastimes with them is improvising rap rhymes, and boy, did Nile develop a talent for this. Many of his stories were true accounts of other gangs, while others were narratives of his friends’ misdeeds—to the point that his storytelling became an anthem that everyone in his neighborhood proudly chanted, impressed by the great lyrics Nile composed.
Por desgracia otros pandilleros, llevados por las historias cantadas pensaros que Nile era el lider de la banda y quien cometio esos crimenes contra otras pandillas rivales, y un dia irrumpieron en la casa del tio y lo asesinaron al este negarse a dar la ubicación de su sobrino.
Unfortunately, other gang members, misled by the rumors, believed that Nile was the gang’s leader and the one who had committed those crimes against rival gangs, and one day they stormed into his uncle’s house and killed him when he refused to reveal his nephew’s whereabouts.
Mucha controversia se armo entre las bandas de pandillas, disparos de parte y parte en plan de venganza por entrar a sus barrios, al punto de que la una multitud de policias puso orden a la zona.
Luego de llevar a Nile arrestado y de recibir el testimonio de varias vecinos del lugar concluyeron el chico no tenia nada que ver con los rumores de sus canciones.
A major controversy erupted between rival gangs, with both sides exchanging gunfire in retaliation for the intrusion into their neighborhoods, to the point that a large police force had to restore order in the area.
After arresting Nile and taking statements from several local residents, they concluded that the young man had nothing to do with the rumors surrounding his songs.
Al comienzo Nile se aislo de todos, sintio que por su culpa su tio murio, se cerro emocionalmente a todos al punto de casi desahuciarse de su propia vida.
Al pasar de los dias su situacion empeoro, ya no habia comida y nada que hacer, pues los acreedores lo desalojaron de la vivienda de su tio.
Ya Niles estaba en un punto donde dormia en las calles y comia de la basura cerca a de los restaurantes
At first, Nile isolated himself from everyone; he felt that his uncle’s death was his fault, and he shut himself off emotionally to the point of nearly giving up on life.
As the days went by, his situation worsened; there was no food left and nothing to do, since his creditors had evicted him from his uncle’s home.
Nile had reached the point where he was sleeping on the streets and eating food he found in the trash near restaurants.
Un dia unos siscarios que pasaban por alli lo reconocieron y decidieron financiarle su carrera de rapero, pues vieron en el el gran poder de su letra, su rima y sus historias.
Muchas de sus canciones su alusiones (entre comillas) a los pandilleros que lo contrataron, aun asi mantiene una hoja de vida limpia sin antecedentes, pues el Chico Nile solo se limita a cantar por entretener y lo que gana de sus discos lo hace de forma legal.
One day, some hitmen passing by recognized him and decided to fund his career as a rapper, as they saw in him the great power of his lyrics, his rhymes, and his stories.
Many of his songs allude (in quotes) to the gang members who hired him, yet he still maintains a clean record with no criminal history, as Chico Nile simply sings for entertainment, and whatever he earns from his albums is earned legally.
Muchas personas catalogan a Niles como amigo de los Narcos, pero asi mismo las autoridades y gentes del medio que le siguen la pista a Nile, declaran que solo es espectaculo y que Nile no hace parte de nada.
Many people label Nile as a friend of the drug cartels, but at the same time, the authorities and those in the know who are keeping tabs on Nile claim that it’s all just for show and that Nile isn’t involved in any of it.
Muchos pandilleros respetan en Nile sus rimas y su talento narrativo, saben que aunque el chico no tiene nada que ver con las pandillas, sus letras son verdaderamente poderosas, asi que se toman al chico por lo que es, un artista del canto y no un sicario de su zona.
Many gang members respect Nile for his rhymes and his storytelling talent; they know that even though he has nothing to do with gangs, his lyrics are truly powerful, so they accept him for who he is—a singer, not a hitman from their neighborhood.
Algunos raperos del medio critican a Nile, que si no eres un verdadero malandro y que no deberia estar en el escenario, otros raperos a si mismo lo respaldan, pues saben que en este medio el ganar dinero cantando es el objetivo.
Pese a sus diferencias, al final de las batallas de rap terminan respetando a Nile, pues es innegable que su labia para contar historias y responder cantando son inmaculadas.
Nile dona parte de sus ganancias a orfanatos y a familias sin hogar, pues sabe que es vivir en el fondo y en las calles y no desea eso para nadie.
Some rappers in the scene criticize Nile, saying that if you’re not a true bad boy, you shouldn’t be on stage; other rappers, however, support him, knowing that in this industry, making money through music is the goal.
Despite their differences, by the end of the rap battles they end up respecting Nile, as it’s undeniable that his gift for storytelling and his ability to respond through song are flawless.
Nile donates part of his earnings to orphanages and homeless families, because he knows what it’s like to live on the streets and doesn’t want that for anyone.
