Hi everyone! ❤️

My name is MartĂ­n, I'm 23 years old, and I'm from Quito, Ecuador.

Music has always meant so much more to me than just something to listen to. When I discovered electronic music, I found something that made me feel truly passionate about my future.

Today, I perform as AYLAK, an independent hard techno DJ with a dream of building a professional career in music.

I've already had the opportunity to perform at local events, and every time I step behind the decks, I'm reminded of why I started. There's nothing quite like sharing your passion with people and seeing them connect through music.

Right now, I practice with an entry-level DJ controller, but my biggest goal is to purchase an AlphaTheta XDJ-AZ. This equipment would allow me to improve my skills, record professional DJ sets, create content, and prepare myself for bigger opportunities.

Unfortunately, professional DJ equipment is incredibly expensive in Ecuador. The XDJ-AZ costs $4,795.50 at a local music store, an amount that is currently beyond what I can afford.

I know this is a big dream and a significant amount of money. I'm doing my part to work toward it, but I also believe that sometimes unexpected kindness can open doors we never imagined.

I'm not asking anyone to carry this dream alone. Whether it's $1, $5, or any amount you feel comfortable giving, every contribution would bring me one step closer.

And if you can't donate, that's completely okay. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for believing, even for a moment, in the dreams of a young artist from Ecuador.

I hope that one day, through my music, I'll be able to give back some of the kindness I've received.

With love and gratitude,

Martín — AYLAK 🖤🎧
