Chicano Power (Barrio Pride)

02 / Know

Know the Story

The place that tested you can also teach you who you are.

I wrote this West Coast anthem about East L.A., Whittier Boulevard and the barrio that shaped us through family, loyalty, struggle and resilience.

Not nostalgia. Identity.

The origin

Whittier Boulevard, East L.A. and the neighborhoods around Jim Town become more than locations: they are the pressure, loyalty and family history that helped form an identity. The song looks back at backyard struggles and the work of building a life, then turns those memories into hometown pride rather than nostalgia alone.

03 / Feel

Feel the Soul

What I want you to feel.

Every community has a road, family story or hometown mark that remains part of its people. Pride can honor what formed you while also asking you to lift the people coming after you.
