Before even starting out in music, Bruno already had a vision of what he wanted to achieve in his future career. He dreamed of creating something different from the music of today. He looked at the entire industry and saw only songs of the same genres, singers repeating the same themes over and over. He saw things as repetitive and meaningless. That's why, before starting in music, he wanted to create something that would finally break with the existing dynamic. He spent a lot of time trying to find something that would help him achieve that goal.
Interestingly, although he could sing very well and had the talent to succeed, he simply didn't want to start until he had the genre and the themes of his songs ready. He wanted to be known as someone who broke the current boundaries. Since he couldn't make a living from music from the beginning, he had to work other jobs. When he wasn't creating his music, he worked cleaning windows on skyscrapers. After a considerable amount of preparation and searching, he found exactly what he wanted. It was a new genre that combined the best of what existed at the time with his own modifications. He was thrilled with it and was certain this new genre would help him achieve success.
Before even starting to sing and produce it, he presented it to several friends and fellow singers. They all agreed it was a novel genre and that no one had done anything like it before. But they worried that something so new wouldn't go very far. That's why they told him it might not be the right time to release it. This disappointed him a little at first.
Antes de empezar en la música Bruno ya tenía en su mente una visión de lo que quería lograr en su futura carrera. El soñaba con crear algo que fuera diferente a la música actual. El miraba a toda la industria y solo veía canciones de los mismos generos, los cantantes repitiendo los mismos temas una y otra vez. A manera veía las cosas como repetitivas y sin sentido. Por eso antes de empezar en la música el quería crear algo que por fin rompiera con esa dinámica que existía en la actualidad. Pasó mucho tiempo intentando encontrar algo que lo ayudara a conseguir ese objetivo.
Curiosamente aunque sabía cantar muy bien y tenía el talento para triunfar mientras tanto el simplemente no quiso empezar hasta tener listo el género y el tema de sus canciones. Quería que lo conocieran como alguien que rompió los límites actuales. Como no podía vivir de la música desde el inicio tuvo que trabajar en otras cosas, cuando no estaba diseñando su música trabajaba limpiando ventanas en los grandes rascacielos. Luego de un buen tiempo de preparación y de búsqueda encontró justo lo que quería. Era un genero nuevo que combinaba lo mejor que existía actualmente con sus propias modificaciones. El quedó encantado con el y estaba seguro que este nuevo género le ayudaría a alcanzar el éxito.
Antes de iniciar ya a cantarlo y producirlo se lo presentó a varios amigos y cantantes cercanos. Todos coincidieron en que era un genero novedoso y que nadie había hecho algo igual hasta el momento. Pero les preocupó que algo tan nuevo no llegara muy lejos. Por eso le dijeron que quizás no era el momento adecuado para lanzarlo. Esto lo decepcionó un poco al inicio.

Despite his friends' advice, he wasn't going to change his mind. He knew that this genre had to succeed somehow, and besides, he wouldn't go along with singing songs from the same genres he had criticized so many times. So, following his instinct, he began releasing new songs made with his newly created style of music. He hoped that, being something new and innovative, it would impact and impress people. But his friends were right; it wasn't the right time to release this new music. People found it strange. So, from the beginning, he had to deal with low sales and a very poor reception from the public.
Letting himself be defeated wasn't an option. He continued releasing songs and even albums. Some had modest sales, and others almost none. But one thing was increasing: the negative criticism. Several important music critics told him that his music was worthless and that he should dedicate himself to something else. Others criticized him because he couldn't even support himself with what he earned from music, since he still had to wash windows. Only his closest friends supported him, telling him his music was ahead of its time. Bruno wasn't made of steel, and this affected him deeply because he thought his new musical genre would be well-received from the start, but the opposite was true.
He was sad for a long time, but even through tears, amidst the pain of reading negative reviews, he didn't give up. He expanded his catalog to multiple albums, several hundred songs, and many other projects. But no matter how hard he tried, he didn't prosper; the results became increasingly negative despite his best efforts. Seeing this, Bruno finally decided he had had enough. He was encouraged that at least he had planted a musical seed; perhaps one day it would grow and someone would appreciate it. So he returned to his job washing windows and left music behind.
A pesar de las recomendaciones de sus amigos él no iba a cambiar su visión, él sabía que ese género de alguna forma tenía que triunfar, además por ningún motivo seguiría la corriente de cantar canciones de los mismos géneros que él había criticado tantas veces. Así que siguiendo su instinto comenzó a lanzar canciones nuevas echas con su nuevo tipo de música creada. El esperaba que al ser algo nuevo y novedoso a la gente le impactaría y le impresionaría. Pero sus amigos no se equivocaron, no era el momento para lanzar aquella música novedosa. La gente la hallaba rara. Así que desde el comienzo el tuvo que lidiar con pocas ventas y una recepción por parte del publico muy mala.
Dejarse vencer por esto no era una opción, siguió lanzando canciones y hasta discos. Algunos tenían ligeras ventas y otras casi ninguna. Pero una cosa si iba en aumento, la crítica negativa. Varios críticos musicales importantes le decían que su música no servía, y que mejor se dedicara a una cosa. Otros lo criticaban porque no podía ni siquiera mantenerse con lo que ganaba en la música, porque aún tenía que seguir lavando ventanas. Solo sus amigos más cercanos lo apoyaron diciéndole que la música estaba adelantada a su tiempo. Bruno no era de hierro, esto le afectó mucho porque el pensaba que desde un inicio su nuevo genero musical sería bien aceptado pero era lo contrario.
Estuvo triste por mucho tiempo, pero incluso entre lagrimas, entre el dolor de leer las criticas negativas el no se detuvo. Amplió su catalogo a múltiples discos, varios cientos de canciones y muchos otros proyectos. Pero por mucho que se esforzó no prosperó, cada vez eran más negativos los resultados a pesar de que se había esforzado al máximo. Al ver esto por fin Bruno decidió que había sido suficiente. Le daba animo que al menos sembró una semilla musical, quizás algún día crezca y alguien la aprecie. Así que se retiró a su trabajo de lavar ventanas y dejó la música.

Decades later, there was Bruno, as always, washing windows to earn a living and put food on the table. To many, he was a failure, never able to prosper. But he was always satisfied with what he did. Without realizing it, times had changed; new, younger generations had different musical tastes. One afternoon, after arriving home tired from washing windows, he saw a large crowd waiting for him at the door. They wanted an autograph. He didn't understand why, but he gave it to them anyway. They were almost all young people, and they told him his music was very good and that they loved it. This surprised him greatly because he hadn't heard that in decades. That day, after they left, he was shocked because when he checked his old website, he saw that his albums were selling a lot.
Within a few weeks, millions of copies began to be sold. It turned out that a young influencer had recommended the songs because she thought they were wonderful and different from anything else out there. So thousands of fans bought them. Then they recommended them to their friends, and their friends to theirs. It was an avalanche of new generations discovering the musical treasure that had been created ahead of its time. In a few months, Bruno went from being a nobody to a wealthy and incredibly famous singer. All those who had once criticized him had to admit that he had sown seeds for the future and was now reaping the rewards. Now, he could finally rest in peace, watching his old songs return to life as resounding hits, late but surely. All thanks to his vision.
Décadas después ahí estaba Bruno como siempre lavando sus ventanas para ganar algo y poder comer. Para muchos el fracaso que nunca pudo prosperar. Pero el siempre estuvo satisfecho con lo que hizo. Pero sin darse cuenta los tiempos habían cambiado, ahora nuevas generaciones jóvenes tenían otros gustos musicales. Una tarde luego de llegar a casa cansado de tanto lavar ventanas vio que lo estaban esperando en la puerta una gran cantidad de personas, querían un autógrafo. El no entendía por qué pero igual se los dio. Eran casi todos jóvenes, le dijeron que su música era muy buena y que les encantaba. Eso le sorprendió mucho porque no le decían eso desde hacia décadas. Ese día luego que se fueron quedó en shock, porque cuando revisó su vieja pagina web se estaban vendiendo muchos discos.
En unas semanas se empezaron a vender millones de copias. Resulta que una influencer joven había recomendado las canciones porque le parecían una maravilla y eran diferente a todo lo que había. Así que miles de fans la compraron. Luego estos se la recomendaron a sus amigos y estos a los suyos. Era una avalancha de nuevas generaciones descubriendo el tesoro musical que se había creado fuera de su tiempo. En unos meses Bruno pasó de ser un Don Nadie a un rico cantante y súper famoso. Todos los que una vez lo criticaron tuvieron que reconocer que había sembrado para el futuro y ahora estaba recogiendo los frutos. Ahora si, el podía descansar en paz, viendo como sus viejas canciones volvían a la vida como éxitos rotundos, tarde pero seguro. Todo gracias a su visión.
