ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
Hello, I am Kaleb Bravo and I am a Performer in the Arts. Before I could even know how to tie my shoes, I knew I wanted to perform. I would watch movies and imagine myself on that screen, believing in my heart that I was meant to craft, shape, and dream large. A dream to act, dance, sing, and create. It has always been my passion. And being here, I now know that it is a gift from God placed in my heart. All I create, I create unto Him and through Him. And I will forever work to glorify Him and sharpen the gifts He has blessed me with. Lord, may I always hunger to create, never be satisfied and never achieving perfection, but always striving to attain it by creating works of art that call to be as beautiful as you. In my time creating here, I found that art is more than what we create and see. But it is that which makes us feel, and those feelings are in themselves art. A creation of God, in each of us that are unique, random, personal, ever changing, and always that of life. I have found a passion in creating all that makes us feel. The heart is divine, and the art that can make a heart feel is angelic. This is what the young me who always wanted to perform was yearning for deeply. I work for that boy who prayed and would create with whatever was in his sight. The boy that would reenact and create his own scenes from the TV and stop once the credits rolled to look at all the names. And I create for God, the greatest artist of all, who placed a small piece of his creativity and this calling in a young boy’s heart.
