My Story
For as long as I can remember, I have carried a weight I could never put down. In my youth, I made choices that caused pain to others, leaving scars on people who did not deserve them. And though I have been forgiven, I cannot forgive myself. That guilt consumes me, and One Life of Blame was born as a way to channel it transforming that burden into something that could express what words never could.
I always knew that music was my only escape. For years, this project existed only in my mind, in scattered lyrics and unfinished melodies. The idea was always there, lingering, but I lacked the moment, the courage, or the right way to bring it to life. It wasn’t until 2024 that One Life of Blame finally became a reality. The process was not easy. It took time, struggle, and an overwhelming need to release everything I had been holding inside.
My music is the purest reflection of my suffering, my inner conflict, and the guilt that haunts me. I do not create to entertain or to please, I create because it is the only way I can keep moving forward. One Life of Blame does not seek perfection, only honesty. Every riff, every scream, and every lyric is a manifestation of the weight I carry.
I grew up surrounded by nature, in a small town in Valencia. Since childhood, I have listened to the wind rustling through the trees, felt the cold earth beneath my feet, and found solace in the solitude of the landscapes around me. Religion has also been a constant presence in my life, but over time, it became something more complex. It is not just about faith, it is about redemption, about the eternal question of whether there is a path to forgiveness when you are your own harshest judge.
Everything I am, everything I have lived through, and everything that burdens me is woven into One Life of Blame. I do not know if this path will lead me to the peace I seek, but it is the only one I know.
