Some months ago, Mawell was so focused on controversy and conflicts on social media that he was on the verge of jeopardizing his music career.
In a recent interview for "Se Pone Weno," the artist confessed what happened at that moment and how he was able to get his life back on track and focus on his work again.
"After 'Zzsi' was when I made big mistakes in my career (...) The controversy was sinking me so much that people began to pay more attention to my clowning around and my controversies than to my songs. I stopped producing hit songs. The four songs that I released after 'Zizi' did not work, none of them, people were waiting for me to speak any trash, that was what worked," the reggaeton artist recounted.
During that time, Mawell realized that when he posted a preview of a song on social media, it would get around a thousand likes, "and then I would post a picture of the sun rising and it would get 15 thousand, 20 thousand likes."
"It was not working well. I was becoming a clown. Advice to all people, from someone who went through this experience, make music and thank the audience every day, they are the ones who lift you up and bring you down. Leave behind the backstabbing, controversy, and things that at certain times might seem fine because you are on every page, you are in trend, and you think you are doing great, so when you release a song, people are not interested," the artist advised his colleagues.
"I almost completely sank," Mawell assured, as he watched his numbers drop drastically and felt his success slipping away. "People were coming to the concerts to see me and there were people, but they were just waiting for me to throw a jab. The least important thing to people were the songs."
Luckily, Mawell reconsidered in time, apologized to all the artists and influencers he had clashed with, as well as to his fans, and was able to change his behaviors and focus on what is truly important: "Zero controversy and lots of music equals guaranteed success."
