Starting his musical journey at the age of 13, the artist on the rise mostly stuck to songwriting with no intention of being in the spotlight. Soon after Andrew Diaz found himself writing for Roc Nation artists. Diaz began to find himself distancing from writing in shadows and stepping into the spotlight under the moniker, Sheila Carlito. As a songwriter, he always found himself in a position to communicate and express the thoughts and feelings of others. Growing tired of suppressing his own narratives, he entered into a state of mind where he wanted to speak on his own experiences and his heart through his voice and lens. When it came to the creation of Sheila Carlito, Diaz describes it as “he is the character that plays out all of his life experiences. Sheila is a story, Sheila is sound, Sheila is a voice. I am merely the brain and the author who doesn’t care for the attention and prefers expressing from the shadows. Sheila is the light that exposes it all.” I just like to write songs, I hope you feel them.
