I N T R O D U C T I O N
I'm David Alderete, and this is my portfolio for both my makeup and my musical compositions. Both fields are my aspirations and I am wanting to showcase what I do in a more organized and professional way. I am mostly known to the world by my alias which is "Pretty Papí". The name came to be when someone told me that I was both beautiful and masculine. I felt that it was suiting.
I am striving to go to school for makeup, primarily Avalon for their more intense makeup program, let alone esthetics. I am 19 years old and I am pushing myself towards my dream both visually and through sound. I want people to feel.
I believe that makeup to me is a form of expression. Makeup gives me a voice that I never knew that I had, a confidence I never knew I had. I pick up a brush and I feel a strong urge of creativity overcoming me. I put together a look and I own it as if I was the most beautiful creature on the planet. Makeup is visually arousing, not in a sexual way, but in a way that pleases the mind and makes one want more. Makeup is temporary, but thanks to the power of photography, the makeup will be forever.
When it comes to my music, I want to make people feel something. Whether it be the urge to dance, the necessity to sway or "feel" the music. I don't do just one particular genre, I like to believe I am more in the electronic field, however. My music is what can be played at a party, an event, in the comfort of ones home, or in the car with friends. It's versatile. I want people to dance and vibe with it.
