Hello, My name is José Vicente Ruiz, I was born on September 14, 2007 in the state of Bolivar. When I was 3 years old my family and I moved to the state of Merida and since I was very young I have always been interested in music, especially percussion. When I was four years old my parents enrolled me in the National System of Orchestras and Youth and Children's Choirs of Venezuela starting from Quinde Musical. At that stage I was always the one who played the drums and everything related to percussion. One of the many experiences that I have lived in this musical field and that I remember with much affection. A year later I enrolled in percussion, there I was for 4 years studying this wonderful sound and instrument, I loved percussion! I was so obsessed with percussion that at home I put together a drum set with blocks and began to play with some sticks as if it were a real drum set, at that time I got to play in the children's orchestra of the State of Merida and the Children's Percussion Ensemble of that state.
Then we moved to Cumana where I continued studying percussion, but one day, when I was leaving school, a teacher from the orchestra system came to give Cuatro classes at the school where I was studying and I got curious about the instrument, I wanted to learn it and I signed up. I liked it a lot, it was something different, I studied it and played it every day, every class the teacher gave me I practiced it until I learned it by heart and I arrived at the next class knowing what he taught us and with two more classes I learned on my own. Then the pandemic started and since then I have not had another teacher of the instrument. I have only trained and learned on my own. I am currently 15 years old, I am still in the National Orchestra System as a percussionist and soloist cuatrist of the A selection of the Alma Llanera program. All this learning led me to be part of the Guinness record of the largest orchestra in the world. Another of those many experiences that at my young age I have obtained. I have had the opportunity to share the stage with Maestro Ignacio Rondón and other great artists of the city, such as Jorge Glem, who has been a great inspiration for many Cuatro lovers like me. Everything he has done and achieved with the Venezuelan Cuatro inspires me to continue studying and practicing every day on the instrument, which does not bother me, I like it and I am passionate about continuing to study.
¿Porque quiero entrar a Hive y que
llamo mi atención de esta blockchain?
Why do I want to join Hive and what
what attracted my attention to this blockchain?
I see this as an opportunity to emerge in the musical world, to make my talent known as a cuatrist and percussionist, I really like the idea of being able to record videos playing different percussion instruments, the idea of being able to cover songs on the cuatro and being able to receive opinions from different people, I'm very excited. Also the idea of being able to share with all of you, see your videos demonstrating your talents and I can also upload mine and continue learning about the instruments I play and of course, from you.
I had the opportunity to attend an event called Hive Music Festival live in Cumana which was organized by the Musiczone community led by Edwards Tobia where they talked a little of this blockchain and where I had the opportunity to share stage with great musicians of the city that, in turn, are part of this great ecosystem. Since that day my desire to be part of this hive was born and I hope to be able to integrate little by little to this great family.
