Américo bids farewell to public exposure: 'I am going through a storm'

Chilean artist Américo has announced a temporary departure from public life, citing a profound personal "storm" he is currently navigating. In a video shared with his followers, the singer revealed his intention to step away from social media and relocate to his hometown of Arica.

“

I have been in the exercise of looking myself in the mirror, not out of vanity, but practicing with humility, recognizing errors and learning from them, from the deepest part.

Américo described his decision as a necessity for "time, space, and solitude." He explained that he has been engaged in introspection, seeking to "recognize errors and learn from them, from the deepest part." The artist admitted to previously seeking achievements as an escape from failure and validation to belong, stating, "I no longer fit where I most wanted to be."

“

I constantly seek achievements to escape failure. I sought approval to be part of something and some people. And the truth is that I no longer fit where I most wanted to be.

Expressing a need to disconnect from what he termed "unnecessary exposure that only feeds the ego," Américo declared his move away from social media. He believes this step is crucial for his personal well-being as he confronts unprecedented anxieties and exhaustion. The singer's candid announcement marks a significant moment of vulnerability, as he prioritizes his mental health and personal reflection over public engagement.

“

Today is the perfect day and place where my person says goodbye to social media. I understood that it is unnecessary exposure that only feeds the ego, that ego that does so much harm.
