Hi, my name is Carlos — I create music under the name CC3PO. I’ve been surrounded by technology since I was a kid. Around age 11 I was already learning computers because my dad was deeply into tech in the ’90s. I used to go with him to help with his business, and that world shaped me early. Technology didn’t just give me skills — it gave me a way to think, build, and survive.
Today I’m using music and technology together to cope with everything I’ve lived through and to turn it into something that helps other people too. My music is rooted in real life: survival, mental health, faith, family, housing pressure, financial stress, grief, and the moments when you’re trying to hold yourself together in a world that feels heavy. These aren’t “perfect life” songs — they’re soundtracks for people still fighting to keep going.
I’m raising funds to finish my next album and to build a long-term series of “survival albums” over the coming years, tied to real themes happening right now. I also want to start creating music videos and AI-assisted visuals to bring these stories to life — but those tools and productions cost money. On top of that, I’m renewing key platforms and services that keep everything running (about $300 + $200 + $700 in upcoming expenses).
Alongside the music, I’m creating beginner-friendly courses that help people catch up and grow with today’s tech and AI — especially those who feel left behind. The mission is simple: music that heals, and tools that empower.
I’m not making money from any of this. I’m doing it because I want to help people who are carrying trauma, silence, or pain they don’t know how to name yet. If my music connects with you and you ever want to reach out directly, you’re welcome to contact me — I’m here for real people, not profit.
Your donation helps cover studio time, recording, mixing/mastering, cover art and visuals, music video/AI video production, distribution and promo, course production (equipment, software, hosting), and basic operating costs so I can keep releasing and teaching consistently. If you can’t donate, sharing this means a lot. Thank you for helping me finish what I started and build something that can help others survive and rebuild too.
