Meet Esteban Ujueta

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Esteban Ujueta. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Esteban below.

Esteban, we are so appreciative of you taking the time to open up about the extremely important, albeit personal, topic of mental health. Can you talk to us about your journey and how you were able to overcome the challenges related to mental issues? For readers, please note this is not medical advice, we are not doctors, you should always consult professionals for advice and that this is merely one person sharing their story and experience.

My mental health is important to me and I work daily towards maintaining a positive mindset. I’ve been dealing with mental health issues all my life, but I’ve been fortunate to have a good support system in place to help me navigate life’s ups and downs. My wife’s support and understanding is at the top of the list of the ways I am able to persist despite challenges I face from mental health issues. She is my anchor and keeps me grounded. Additionally, music has always been a constant in my life as a way for me to cope and manage my mental health. My passion for music is what lead me to pursue a career in this field because it’s always been my outlet for expression – it’s a space where I can fully let go all the things that I may be dealing with. It’s therapy for me.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?

I co-own Good Tone Studios, a music production and recording studio located in Miami, Florida. Our studio is special in that we strive to create a good vibe for artists to be at their creative best. Recently, we expanded our brand and launched The Corner Vibes. The Corner Vibes is a mini concert series that we started at Good Tone Studios to showcase talented artists and musicians. Keeping with our “good vibes” brand, The Corner Vibes showcases artists that interact with the crowd while sharing the stories behind the songs they perform. The feel of our event is like having a concert in your living room or backyard giving a warm and personal ambiance between artist and audience. We started The Corner Vibes just this year, and it’s been exciting to produce and witness the positive reception from the audiences that attend. It’s something that I’m excited to see continue to grow and bring the local music community together.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

My journey towards achieving my career goals in music was not a straightforward path. But I was steadfast in not being deterred by any challenges. I would say my determination has been an instrumental quality in my work towards achieving my goals for making music on a professional level. I also stay knowledgeable on current music technology and equipment because it’s important for growth and staying up to par with industry standards. Another quality that has been impactful in journey is my flexibility and willingness to grow my sound. Making music for me means always being willing to evolve and push beyond what’s comfortable.

My advice for anyone pursuing anything they are passionate about is to be willing to take risks. The only way to acquire any skill or experience is to go in head first and make the attempt. It’s also important to research and learn as much as possible.

One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?

I am always looking to collaborate with talented artists and musicians that are passionate about their craft and take what they do seriously. For anyone that is looking for music producers and audio engineers that have your best interest at heart, you can learn more about we what do at www.goodtonestudios.com.
