My Travel Story

by: Nico Castro Aguilar Start Date: Jul 10, 2019 - End Date: Apr 9, 2020

Hi and Welcome!
You’ve made it to the campaign page for my upcoming creative project, Through All — the visual album.

I'm Nico Castro a 23- year-old Filipino-American artist based out of San Diego, California, specializing in dance and DJing.

This campaign will financially assist in the expenses for travel, lodging, and production costs to organize domestic to international workshops, cover competition fees, and produce quality content.

I’ve selected these locations for the opportunity to participate in international dance events that will occur during the recording season of this album as well as connect with countries that have contributed to the growth of my artistic career.

Context:
For 1 year, I intend to utilize my specialities in movement-art (particularly breaking / B-Boying), curation of music as a DJ, and modern documentation to produce a 13-track visual album.

Within this, I’ve already determined the titles of each 3-4 minute track as they represent traits that I believe can enable the self to navigateThrough All chapters of life.

Here's the Tracklist:

  1. Opening
  2. Gratitude
  3. Perseverance
  4. Humility
  5. Strategy
  6. Dedication
  7. Pain & Sorrow
  8. Explore
  9. Values
  10. Share
  11. Reflect
  12. Impact
  13. Closing

--Imagine this:  What if we were able to see early video clips, hear podcasts, or even watch vlogs of Lee Jun-fan training & reflecting before he became the legendary Bruce Lee? 
What if we were able to witness the rise of Beyoncé Knowles, Kobe Bryant, Drake, and Oprah before they were known for only their first names?
The amount of value and connection we could gain from their journey would be so inspiring!

Objective:
Instead of posting the album out of the blue in the 2020, I want to bring YOU on this journey.  By the journey training to be the best version of myself as a competitive breaker / lifetime dancer, instructor / sharer of this dance, aspiring entrepreneur, & pursuit of living as a full-time creative, we can get Through All.

Mission:
Through modern documentation and interpretation of all artistic platforms, my mission is to inspire humanity to embrace all adversities as strengths to live life on their own terms.
