Before he ever wrote a lyric, Amin Laboriel was already living in rhythm. His childhood was steeped in music, raised by a father who favored saxophone solos over lullabies. While most kids were learning nursery rhymes, Laboriel was absorbing scales, tone, and soul. “I turned emotions into stories and stories into lyrics,” he says, tracing his songwriting roots back to living room jam sessions and late-night freestyle experiments. Music wasn’t just a passion—it was home.
Laboriel’s sound defies easy labels. It blends Latin pop, silky R&B, and urban grit with swagger and heart. His tracks have bounce, vulnerability, and something rare: a refusal to play it safe. “My power comes from being different,” he says. That conviction carried him through the grind of being an independent artist—no label, no shortcuts. It all paid off with Chocolate Banana Pop It, his genre-bending collab with JC, which marked a creative breakthrough. “That song was chaos and joy. Seeing it come to life—that’s when I knew I was doing the right thing.”
But what really separates Laboriel from the noise is how he connects. He talks to fans like friends—answering DMs, reposting dance videos, and dropping behind-the-scenes updates like they’re personal texts. “I want them to feel seen,” he says. And they do. The connection is real: fans aren’t just listening to his music—they’re living in it. That bond drives him forward, even when the industry gets loud. His advice? “Protect your creativity. The right people will find you when you’re unapologetically you.”
Coming off the success of Chocolate Banana Pop It, Laboriel’s not coasting—he’s escalating. He’s teasing three new singles—Con Sus Ojos Te Hipnotiza, Amor Incondicional, and Soñador—each with its own edge and emotion. But the studio is just one part of his growing empire. As founder of Rise To The Top Productions and Laboriel Apparel, he’s creating a space where music, fashion, and identity collide. “Everything I do is about inspiring people to own who they are,” he says.
Laboriel isn’t chasing fame—he’s building a world. Maybe that means packed venues in new countries. Maybe it’s a quiet message from someone who felt seen because of a lyric. Either way, he’s thinking bigger than buzz. “I’m building something that’ll outlive me,” he says.
And if that sounds bold, good—he’s never been afraid of standing out.
