Guitarricadelafuente on how his album, 'Spanish Leather,' influenced his approach to #LaBolaNegra:
"Spanish Leather represents this journey of a young gay kid that leaves his beliefs behind and puts himself to the world and discovers his place in the world and where he belongs. There's a discovery of sexual arousement and identification. Sebastian was someone who was not able to question all of that. Questioning would be a luxury because he just needs to be focused on surviving." https://t.co/idOBYPu9Xp
Guitarricadelafuente on being credited in #LaBolaNegra by his stage name as opposed to his real name:
"I think this is just an extension of what Guitarrica is. This synchronicity is happening and it’s connected with what I'm feeling. It's putting something very soulful to what I'm doing. I thought this acting role was an extension of all of that and me being able to understand and to empathize with the world around me. This is just like an extension of what I feel and what I like to do." https://t.co/emhu1Gg5VO
