An Inspired Chat with David Guevara of East end

We recently had the chance to connect with David Guevara and have shared our conversation below.

Hi David, thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to share your story, experiences and insights with our readers. Let’s jump right in with an interesting one: Have any recent moments made you laugh or feel proud?
Honestly, a recent moment that really made me feel proud was hearing the final mix of a new song my band, Telebastards, is working on. We’ve been experimenting a lot, and this one track just came out sounding insane. The mix especially, it’s heavier and more textured than anything we’ve done before. Hearing it finally come together was one of those moments where I felt like, ‘yeah, this is exactly the sound we’ve been chasing.’ It just made me really proud of what we’re building as a band.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name’s David Guevara
I’m part of a band called Telebastards. We’re an alternative/indie shoegaze group that blends heavy, textured sounds with more melodic, emotional moments. What I think makes us stand out is that we’re not really following any blueprint every song we make feels like its own little world. Right now, we’re working on some of our best music yet, and we’ve been pushing ourselves to experiment more with sound design and layering. It’s been really cool seeing how people are connecting with it, especially since this next batch of songs feels like the most honest thing we’ve made.

Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. What relationship most shaped how you see yourself?
I think the relationship that’s shaped how I see myself the most is with the band. My bandmates and not just the music, but together isn’t just about writing songs it’s about learning how to trust each other creatively and personally. Working with them has pushed me to be more honest with myself, more open to taking risks, and just more confident in my own ideas. It’s made me realize that who I am creatively is a real part of who I am as a person, and that’s something I’m proud of.

Is there something you miss that no one else knows about?
Honestly, I miss the beach. It’s something I don’t really bring up, but there’s just something about being near the ocean that clears my head. It’s one of the few places where I feel like I can slow down and not think about anything for a while.

I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. Is the public version of you the real you?
I’d say the public version of me is a part of the real me but not all of it. What people see, especially through the band and the music, is definitely honest. But there’s always more going on behind the scenes, like anyone else. I think music is the way I show people the sides of me I don’t always explain out loud.

Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: What will you regret not doing?
I think I’d regret not giving my all to making music and building something real with it. If I ever looked back and felt like I played it safe or held back creatively, that would probably haunt me. I don’t want to wonder ‘what if’ when it comes to this.
