Music and lyrics are a powerful form of expression and have the power to become therapeutic. This emotional labyrinth where facts stir emotions, Mar LucasSpanish influencer and singer, by With over 17 million followers, he moves like a fish in water and breaks the mold.
In a world where every word can be judged, Mar Lucas knows how to stand up to criticism haters and continues a strong career in the music industry while participating in fashion-related projects such as her new shoe collection and the Refresh brand. “It is an offer to enjoy every moment to the fullest, inviting us to be honest with ourselves and to appreciate the little things in life.”
What can we expect from Mar Lucas in this collection?
“Versatility. Depending on how I wake up I have feelings or else, I feel like going with something or the other. I suddenly feel like I’m walking strangely, I suddenly feel more comfortable, I suddenly feel like I want to go on the floor or something with a heel, or sneakers. I change according to the day. And Refresh has a variety that allows me to feelings find something.”
“Haters Gonna Rise” is the message of the campaign…
“The message is right for me right now and I’m very grateful to Refresh that they thought of me when they came up with this idea. I think the message and the values they have will be what will stand out in the whole campaign.”
In your daily life, when you go out, do you have sneakers, shoes, boots…?
“Now I wear very small, tiny, pointy-toe heels, because they do two things at once. They are elegant and comfortable, that’s why I love them. But, for example, the shoes I’m wearing [refiriéndose a unas botas altas planas y negras] “They’re so comfortable, you can wear them with everything, black boots, biker style, it’s amazing.”
The campaign also promotes the slogan “Be yourself”, how do you apply this message in your life and work?
“In everything, in life in general. I feel that the beauty of each one is that we are completely different from the rest and that is what strengthens us. I feel like society’s fault is trying to lead us all down the same path. I think the best thing is to have completely different paths and completely different thoughts, with completely different ideas, because that’s what makes everything in life unique. colorful. “
You have reached millions of people on social media and thanks to music you have achieved great success likethe innocent’ or the last one with the song ‘Rota’. What does this whole journey mean to you?
“Learning. It has been feeding from the billions of people who have been pure light. I have also been feeding a lot since there was darkness, from all the way. I feel that it is beautiful of life, the way and the understanding. everything that comes to you and gives you life.”
When the light is on you and visibility increases, what do you turn to to cut?
“I go to my hometown, with my family, with my dog, with my lifelong friends, and I go back in time, to my true self, it’s like going back to childhood my and my youth, where I find time to go see my parents or spend quality time with them or be able to spend time with my mother in bed or walk my dog in . obviously it’s amazing and fulfilling dreams is wonderful, but also coming home is always powerful.”
How do you manage negative feedback received on social media?
“It depends on the season, and it depends on how I am, I feel like that lower curves are always part of the equilibrium. There is never a straight line to balance. There are always ups and downs, and that’s okay. You have to allow yourself the low curves and accept them, accept them, and above all, take the opportunity to gain strength and go higher. So, I think so It’s okay that sometimes something hurts. We are not robotsno one. Anyone who tells you it doesn’t affect them at all is lying. It is impossible not to be touched by anything. But I feel that little by little, as time goes by, you start to accept it, as if you know how to control it better, to be more patient. But deep down, you live with it, and that’s it. ”
Maybe people are also taking advantage of you being in the spotlight to do harm…
“Yes, there is always talk of: ‘Ah, no, since you wanted to be a public figure, well I have the right to comment on your life.’ And yes, in a way you have the right to comment, but it’s one thing to comment respectfully and another to comment rudely, or maliciously These are completely different things: No, it’s true, but there is a very different line between honesty and inhumanity. So, like that “You have to check that phrase carefully.”
Travels, rehearsals, trips, events… The pace of an artist’s life requires energy and intense preparation. How do you take care of yourself physically: train, pamper your diet…?
“I’ve had a period of not doing anything, but lately I’m very proud of myself because I exercise very well, I eat very well, I take good care of myself because I understand that. in a way it is self-love and self-respectfind places for me, that it is very good to do things all the time and feel productive, but also find time to go do something. It doesn’t matter if you go to the gym, do boxing, paddle tennis, tennis, soccer, basketball, whatever you want. But finding time to make games is always amazing. Something that you like, that makes you meet other people, participate in a place that is completely different from what you are used to. Also by eating well your body will thank you very much. “I feel very important and I take good care of myself and I think that my body and my health and everything gives back to me.”
Finally this suits us…
“Yes, I really believe in the law of attraction and power. And I think that when you focus on your inner strength and focus on positive energy, it’s also a matter of attitude towards life, like you and how how you take things in. Eventually, that good energy in life eventually gets to you, and if you focus more on the bad, I feel that the bad eventually gets to you. “I choose to focus on positive and positive energy.”.
And what is your favorite sport?
“I love boxingand in boxing I do physicality. My coach is the only one who gets me off the couch to play sports. I am, indeed, the laziest and laziest person you will ever meet. When I’m lying on the couch, no one can wake me up. AND Boxing is the only thing that made me want to train. I like it because I also go with professionals who will compete in boxing and I, I have nothing to do with them, but I change them a lot to what I need, which is. more strength for shows and more cardio, more resistance. So, my coach adjusts to me and I have a good time. The people there are brutal and disciplined. “Sports give you incredible morale and boxers have great inner strength.”
How does sport affect your mood, does it help you take care of your mental health?
“I think anyone who plays sports will understand very well that it changes your whole attitude and anyone who doesn’t, if they try and find patience in something or that passion. At first you have motivation and Motivation gets you started, but if you don’t have discipline, that motivation will fade. at some point and you will stop doing it. I believe it is important to be disciplined in everything in life. In general, I feel that you will not always be motivated to do something, but if you have that discipline, even if you are not motivated, you will continue to do what you need to do most of the time. And then you’ll see results, because if you only act on inspiration, you won’t see results.”
Taking advantage of recent events, after the song ‘Rota’, in which you talk about a sensitive topic like abuse and the impact it has had, what is your biggest support for mental self-care?
“There are many points of support that I have received in these years to know how to deal with many things that have happened to me. I feel that the most important thing is get it out of you and go to a psychologist. I feel that, of course, there is nothing like having a professional help you and give you tools and that now we have to remove the stigma that going to a psychologist is for sick people. Well, we all need to go to a psychologist because we all have our stuff. I feel that it is very important and that we do not take it more seriously than it should have. but really emotional stability is the most important thing, because if the head is not right, nothing can be done. When the head is bad, health is already passing and when the body is asking you to stop, you have to stop. You have to stop when you have to do it without a problem and that’s okay. I also get a lot of support in my life friends, every minute I spend, walking or meeting someone newgoing to an event or going to a gym or being alone, too I got a lot of love from me and a lot of support from me. When you learn to be alone without always needing other people’s company or to fill the void you have inside, when you are alone and happy and healthy, you have passed the game, because something is each one that comes you will be twice as grateful. a lot. And you will not want things out of necessity, but to increase positive energy. ”
¿Does music help you too?
“One hundred percent. Music didn’t help me, it saved me. If I hadn’t found music, I don’t know what would have happened to me. It has given me a good and full purpose in life.. It was also a great therapy for me to write how I felt, and to write it down as often as necessary, every time I go to the studio, I say: ok, how do I feel? And when I pour it all out in words and music, I find it beautiful and healing. Truly, music is something else, it is an art that life has given us so beautifully. And being able to do that seems like a gift that life has given me. “
What can we expect in the future from Mar Lucas?
“Right now I’m making my second album and I’m giving a lot of love to everything. It’s a more obvious step, like an upgrade, very painful. As a slightly innocent and mature person, you might say. I feel like it’s time for me after all this has happened. And keep talking about what I’m always living and keep expressing yourself through songs.”
