Iván Darío

My brother David Paul is low key hilarious Happy birthday hermano! Dave aka Tubbles is one of the reasons I started rapping. He's always supported my art, ever since I was a lil kid drawing. On that trip to the UK, we would take walks and I'd try to rap while he filmed it. Had to scroll through a lot of cringe to find these gems, words of wisdom from the man who's already lived so many lives Here's some memories from our trips together like Scotland/England, August 2023 Tqm

So Shallow, Iván Darío, released March 2023 When we kissed it felt so shallow I wanted it so deep, so deep I could drown in it To touch so close, so close I needed closer Too far, too much distance standing in the way Snow, ice, water flows The valley fills Land separates People evaporate Leaving streaks like wine

Summer is still in my heart 🌞 PALA jams every other Tuesday, where you been? Photos by @fopho.tos except #11 by @llbpic

There will be a cypher plus other dope talents like @sirlouie555 and @rupert_common holding it down It's only minimum $5, all money goes towards Palestine so there ain't no good reason not to pull up I don't like shit, I don't go outside so this will be one of the rare occasions to spot a wild Iván NO LIE

From when I was 13 thru high school, I took my guitar with me almost every day. Growing up, I didn't feel safe expressing myself, but when I swung the axe I could show how I felt. I'm sure a lot of us can relate Then my 20s came around and I began feeling disappointed with music. The forces telling me to make money and secure my future started winning. So when there was talk about forming a union at the job I'd been at for years, I got super invested. If we won, I'd finally feel good about my place in the world But after so many tribulations trying to form the first courier union in Canada, I was depressed. The guitar thru which I sang had been silent for a while, and I hadn't learnt other means of expression. No wonder despite all the loving people around me, I felt isolated and alone That chapter taught me an important lesson: It didn't matter what happened in the world, if I would ever “make it”, if anyone liked my music. I am an artist. That's the hand I was dealt. There was no doubt anymore Nothing could take away the creator inside me. I used to worry that one day it'd disappear since it seemed to have come from nowhere, but the creative spirit is always in you. It just needs nurturing Back to 2024. I knew the guitar would always be there for me. Even if I was playing bass in other ppl's projects, or rapping as @courrier.rouge , she would always embrace me While I didn't “put out” anything as Iván Darío this year, I played a lot, in the truest sense of the word. These 3 short clips are just my favourites from the year! The sentimentality, the tension and release, and the intricacy in all these pieces are all better than it's ever been. It gave me joy playing, just like when I was a niño, painting on the floor Hope yall take a few mins to relax listening to these tunes. Should I put them out in 2025? “Sombre guitar to study to”, “melancholic guitar for a rainy day” type shit? Maybe use them as samples and rap over them? 1. Me and hermano, xmas 2000 2.
