ClementeSCores

Clemente Sánchez Cores

A person who owns more than one passion, a lover of the countryside, airplanes. And Music. Although the latter is the only one not inherited, but was discovered by himself.

His first steps in music were at the age of 10, complemented from the age of 16 with improvement in singing.

In 2018 he took the big step in the life of a musician: He composed his first song.   From that moment, and after a few months of introspection, search for inspiration and immersion in life, the path forward became clearer.

He participated in composition workshops to nourish himself with tools, and in 2021, after a long trip through the United States, he came back home with a wide repertoire of his own songs.

The next step? He began recording in a studio, where he learned about the magical process by which a song goes through the final process of creation.

His first two singles, “Mensaje” and “You Decide” were released in 2022 and incredibly, months later he arrived at OMSA to sign a contract for his songs.

Clemente Sanchez Cores’ is one of those stories where doors open little by little, as one strives for their goals.

It is worth dreaming, but always remembering that we get what we worked for, not what we want.
