The harsh reality of being an emerging artist recently became palpable in a video circulating on TikTok, starring Peso Pluma, a talented 24-year-old. In the clip, the singer is in front of the window of a store on the streets of Madrid, performing his music in what is known as a “Gallery Session.”
However, what stands out is not the performance of Peso Pluma, but the apparent indifference of the passers-by and motorists who pass by the place without paying him any attention.
It is a format in which the artist sings in a showcase
Gallery Sessions are a form of artistic presentation in which the performer sings behind glass in a public space. Although this initiative has gained popularity on social networks and has given exposure to some artists, for Peso Pluma the experience was disheartening. The scene reflects Featherweight’s battle to stand out and generated mixed reactions on social networks. While some viewers mocked the singer, other fans defended him.
“They are “gallery sessions” nobody sees the singers”, “Those who say that nobody knows featherweight, if they knew that he is one of the most popular in Spain”, “Many artists long for an opportunity in Gallery session, PP he achieves it without asking for it, loved worldwide”, “the truth is that no one outside his country knows him as a featherweight”, “hahaha in Madrid I have no idea who that is”, “Michael Jackson would have quite a few people in front of him “There will never be an artist like him,” some users commented on social networks.
This episode highlights the importance of visibility and support for emerging artists. The path to recognition and success in music often involves facing significant challenges and persevering despite initial lack of attention.
