Cuban content creator and musician Maiteé Martínez Naveda (@maitemartinez_naveda) has shared a glimpse into her daily life in Sanya, a city in Hainan province, southern China, where she lives with her partner, who is also a musician.

In a video posted on her social media, Maiteé shows how her day unfolds in the Asian country. Every day, after completing her household chores, she dedicates hours to practicing with her instruments, trying to make as little noise as possible to avoid disturbing her neighbors since she lives in an apartment.

At 3:30 p.m., she and her boyfriend take a bus that, according to her, is usually empty at that hour. Both work as musicians performing at a luxury hotel, where they give between two and three shows each day.

"My goal is for the clients to have the best time possible and to experience something unique. I also earn my applause, and that is the most rewarding thing for an artist," the young woman stated.

This Cuban combines her musical talent with digital content creation, proudly showcasing the discipline, effort, and passion required to keep her love for music alive while living in one of the largest countries in the world.
