![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I lost a lot of confidence and self-esteem because of that. So, it was during those times where I felt most out of place, unable to call myself normal because I couldn’t relate to other children my age. I couldn’t befriend other kids because they couldn’t understand my lifestyle. There are many times where I felt I couldn’t fit in with the outside world because I don’t know what school is like (I’m homeschooled) or how other kids my age act. Because I started music at a young age, most of my life is revolved around just that. It’s all about instinct and past experience that allows you to make the choice of where to go next. On top of that, there are no signs to guide you where to go. It’s a rough path, in which you can’t exactly see the destination or the end of it. The music business or the entertainment business, in general, is rarely a smooth road to take on. Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way? I was also given the opportunity to feature in other projects including Apple’s iPhone XS commercial, Disney’s Dream Big Commercial of 2017, Nickelodeon’s “That’s Me” campaign 2018 and many more. Some of my biggest experiences include playing for and being featured in Ellen DeGeneres’ girl empowerment campaign with GAP Kids, touring in the Philippines and around the states, sharing the stage with Arnel Pineda of Journey, performing at the halftime show of the LA Clippers and Golden State Warriors 2018 game at the Staples Center, performing on several news channels including the TODAY Show, and playing at the U.S. Then, at the age of ten, I competed and was crowned the very first under eighteen champion of the international female drummer competition Hit Like A Girl. Since then, I was able to perform on stage alongside Stevie Wonder and Pattie LaBelle when I was eight, and thus branching off to guest for many local bands in Vegas and in L.A. So, at the age of seven, I joined the drum competition with only six months of learning drums and ended up winning first place. However, with that, I had to promise that I would join the local drum competition if they got me a drum set. I was nearly seven years old when they finally gave in. They tried getting me on violin or piano but my heart stayed with drums. They always told me that I couldn’t become a drummer because I was young, small and that I was a girl. I basically pestered my parents to allow me to become a drummer continuously for more than a year. I fell in love with drumming when I was five years old after watching a children’s TV show about music. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.įirst of all, I am a girl drummer! I grew up listening to classic rock legends such as Led Zeppelin, Rush, Kiss, Deep Purple, Motley Crue, Queen, and much more. Today we’d like to introduce you to Alexey Poblete.Īlexey, let’s start with your story. ![]()
