Artist Nico Hernandez would be dealing in real estate if he wasn’t an artist, he says. The song maker enjoys what he does now that is making music for his bread and butter and joy filled heart. Music gives the artist immense satisfaction and happiness.

Hernandez’s song/ video called Snakes is his favorite. Though he says nothing is always perfect as there is always a scope for improvement. Snakes is a fun video and required a lot of creativity which he enjoyed working on and then loved the final product.

There are various weird things that keep happening in LIVE shows. Asked about the same, the artist laughs and says once during a show his mixer stopped working and he had to use the shortcut keys on the laptop throughout the show. It was a weird experience for him but he made sure he didn’t stop and worked around it.

If budget wasn’t an issue, he would have surely liked to collaborate with Roddy Ricch. He was introduced to the world of music by his godfather when he was quite young. His godfather was a DJ so music was played in a manifold and then Hernandez never looked back.

But when it comes to experience in the industry, the musician has released 2 music videos and thinks he hasn’t still scratched the surface and there is so much to do. He will soon be releasing an EP. He aims to drop one before 2020 ends and one in the beginning of 2021.

Hernandez says that his listeners should be optimistic about life and never give up. He never did and so he is doing what he loves. It is important to turn dreams into goals to accomplish them. Always reassess the things and find a way to realise the goals.

Sitting in the dimly lit theater, I had no idea what to expect as the opening credits of “The Firing Squad” began to roll. Little did I know that I was about to embark on an emotional journey that would leave me reaching for tissues and struggling to catch my breath.

The film follows the true story of three Christians facing execution by firing squad in a third world country. Directed by Timothy A. Chey, it features a stellar cast including James Barrington, Kevin Sorbo, and Cuba Gooding Jr. Each actor brings their character to life with such authenticity and depth that it’s impossible not to be fully immersed in their struggles and triumphs.

As the plot unfolded, I found myself drawn into a world of despair and desperation, but also one of unwavering faith and hope. The characters’ journey from darkness to light, from despair to redemption, resonated with me on a deeply personal level. I couldn’t help but be moved by their courage and resilience in the face of unimaginable adversity.

But it was the performances that truly stole the show. James Barrington’s portrayal of the protagonist’s internal turmoil was nothing short of mesmerizing, while Kevin Sorbo and Cuba Gooding Jr. delivered powerhouse performances that left me in awe.

And then there was the message of the film—that no matter how bleak the circumstances may seem, there is always hope. That even in our darkest moments, faith has the power to transform lives and bring about redemption. It was a message that hit me like a ton of bricks, leaving me with tears streaming down my face and a renewed sense of purpose.

As the credits rolled and the lights came up, I found myself struggling to put into words the impact that “The Firing Squad” had on me. All I could manage was, “I cried buckets of tears.” And I wasn’t alone. As I looked around the theater, I saw others wiping their eyes and exchanging emotional glances.

In the end, “The Firing Squad” wasn’t just a movie—it was an experience. An experience that left me feeling inspired, uplifted, and profoundly grateful for the power of cinema to touch the soul. And for that, I will be forever grateful.

The movie is set to premiere in the theatres worldwide on August 2, 2024. And this is definitely a must watch movie, reminding people of the strength of faith.
