Meet Saul David Clavano

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Saul David Clavano. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Hi Saul David, really happy you were able to join us today and we’re looking forward to sharing your story and insights with our readers. Let’s start with the heart of it all – purpose. How did you find your purpose?

I found my purpose after suffering one of the most intense panic attacks of my life! I woke up one night in a cold sweat dreaming about my recently passed grandfather. In what felt like a sequence of movie clips and memories, I recounted how accomplished he was, given how he was the patriarch of the family.

It was at this point of my life that I was becoming much more conscious of my health and the combination of thought patterns had made me more vulnerable to questioning about life entirely. I questioned my mortality heavily in these days.

I realized that I had been living a life to what I thought was expected of me. That I have had free will and thought in my brain all this time and all my life I’ve limited myself because of the immediate influences in my life.

One day when I thought a bit harder on my grandfathers passing, I realized that he too, like me, was just a man, living his life, but the difference between me and him and why he was so accomplished was his drive and his ability to continue to want to accomplish goals. At each and every corner he grabbed life by the reigns and pursued what he wanted.

I live my life now being more conscious than ever about my ability to exercise my will into this world and I do that through my everyday actions.

My purpose currently is to use my life experiences and unique perspective to inspire people to be more understanding of other people and to make people question themselves more. I’ve seen throughout my life so many characters filled with regret, pain and suffering and I want to make something in this world that helps people walk through that and come out on the other end with a better understanding of themselves and the world around them.

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

Hello! My Name is Saul David Clavano, I am a new artist on the scene! My objective right now that I’ve set out to accomplish is to make music that is entirely raw and vulnerable about subject matter that is not typically sung about!

In a grand vision I hope to write music about people reflecting on their wrong doings and confronting their harmful traits, so that people might recognize how they’ve been harmful to the people that surround them. I’m a powerful vocalist and right now I’m experimenting with the styles and sounds of the genres I enjoy, but overall I hope to bring forward and create a discography that tackles peoples ability to feel empathy and tread a path of self betterment and understanding.

My upcoming project “HORROR HOUSE” is a horror/Halloween season themed album that is meant to utilize the seasonal spirit to make a more “non-traditional subject matter” (intense grudges, anger, resentment) into an approachable and themed inside of a literal “horror house” – a house one wishes to escape from.

Horror House walks through the perspectives of an individual who has gone throughout this life being thought of as less than or beneath those he is surrounded with. (A parent/ a guardian figure/ Aunt’s or Uncle/ Communities) It tackles feelings of frustration and what it feels like to be trying your best and no matter what, never amounting to what the other wants of you. It is an album about grudges and how, whether you want them to or not, they stick with you because you remember the experience. I first set out to write music as a form of therapy and to sort sections of my life off so that they don’t have to occupy my brain anymore because I’ll have written exactly what I feel about the subject 🙂 I strongly believe that in order to move forward from things, it has to be seen and talked about first. If you live in silence forever in your horror house you will fall prey to living and dying in your horror house.

I unfortunately am not in my “happy tune” writing phase (yet!!!) but after I finish experimenting and learning more about music and trudging through this trauma that I’m moving through (and hope others learn to move through as well) that is when I hope to be writing things that are more beautiful and appealing.

My first project “MEN’S WRONGS” is meant to be a reflective piece on men and their pursuit of love.

Men’s Wrongs dives into the initial hateful and spiteful emotions any BOY feels after a breakup, whether towards the partner or the person who betrayed you or towards the self, and turns the lens entirely on where the self went wrong. It highlights the exact moment where an individual turns from becoming spiteful and hateful towards his environment and the people that surround him, into transitioning into realizing, HE has been wrongfully directing that spite and ill will towards people who don’t deserve it – That every piece in play in a relationship or situationship, including YOURSELF, is responsible for the entire outcome of the situation. Heartbreak and the fallout following goes both ways.

Men’s Wrongs is the recognition that, in your pursuit for love, as a man, as a “hopeless romantic” and finding the “right partner”, you overlooked the fact that you made someone subject to feelings you were projecting outward.
Men’s Wrongs is the failure to recognize when you are not being self aware and that you are putting people in uncomfortable positions because you want so badly for your ego to be satisfied.
Men’s Wrongs is knowing you as a man have more sway and strength in a conversation and you use and abuse it to your advantage.
Men’s Wrongs is skipping out on educating and teaching your other fellow Men, whether friend or family or bystander, that their behavior is outdated and unacceptable -That the bare minimum of respecting people for who they are should be something everyone should be advocating to everyone.

My most recently released single “That Time Of Year. (Again)” is a song that reflects on what it feels like to constantly be waiting on someone to change, but they simply will not!! It is a spooky, seasonal song that has fun ghostly vibes with both soft & intense vocal delivery.

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?

The three most impactful traits/qualities that help me in my journey to be comfortable with was, learning to be used to the flow of trial and error, reminding myself constantly of my resolve and why I’m doing what I’m doing, and learning what it is like to feel joy while I do it, so I can recognize what I should feel when I’m in the flow of it.

I think learning to be comfortable with the flows of Trial and Error is one of the biggest stepping stones in the journey to becoming a good at something. For an Artist, the goal one day might be to get out there and feel comfortable performing in front of hundreds maybe thousands one day! So if you can get on stage and feel comfortable about messing up in front of 10 people or in front of no one in your own room, and not letting that failure hang on your head, will be the best thing to overcome.

Reminding yourself of why you do something is also a big part of the process. If you forget one day that you’re doing this for a reason you might make or create something souless and empty and become frustrated with yourself! A reminder keeps you consistent and Resolved about the goals you set forth and plan to accomplish.

Enjoying the process is also a big important quality to have. If you beat yourself up and think negatively in a creative field, it may result in some pretty funky creations, but your overall mentally quality and well being will become deluded. If you find a serene moment in time where you are finally creating something and that recording you did is finally hitting right or that practice run of a song felt like something special, that is what it is all about. To be able to deliver a feeling like that to others first, you have to be able to learn what that feeling is by yourself. Enjoying the process will make it enjoyable for those around you too!

My advise to others in a similar journey is, if you are able to master, overcome, or accomplish these traits throughout your process, you will continue away at it feeling like you are getting better at it, and it will be true!

Okay, so before we go we always love to ask if you are looking for folks to partner or collaborate with?

I’d say I’m currently spearheading and tackling everything 100% on my own! I’m trying to build this up enough so that I can get the attention of some kind of A&R rep or some music industry head so that I can push through this journey at the capacity I want to give to it, and I just have no personal or immediate connections that can help me with that!

If there were any folks out there who did have knowledge about the industry or know anything about managing an artist or booking an artist that would be amazing.
