Today we’d like to introduce you to Hector Trejo
Hector, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
Growing up I always had a passion for music but little did I know one day I would become an artist myself. Growing up I never really had a stand up role model with my father being in and out of the house I always felt the need for that father figure to lead me away from the streets. I’m the youngest out of the 4 in my family and everything was alright up until my brother tragically passed away as well as my cousin due to gang violence. Outside my home I would always see my neighbors in the newest cars, hot girls around them smoking, drinking, and always seemed like a fun time. The curiosity lead me wanting to become like them not knowing how they got those things. Eventually around 4th grade my mom started letting me go outside more by myself and I ended up meeting and becoming friends with these same people I would look at from inside my house. It molded my music influence from going to only listening to Latin music to being introduced to American hip hop and rap. Some of those influences being Lil Wayne, T-Pain, Rick Ross, Drake, Ace Hood, Future, Kanye West, and many more but those are the main people I would listen to on the day to day basis. Fast forward down the road I was introduced to smoking weed and sippin lean. First time I smoked weed it made me feel as if time wasn’t real it made me feel comfortable in my own skin and diverted my attention from bad thoughts in my head to more creative and positive energy like sports and music. At first I use to just write bars on small sheets of paper in my room while listening to beats but never actually making a song out of it just writing for fun and eventually getting made fun of by my sister. Once highschool started I came into contact with new people new friends and being more involved in the streets than I was already in and before I knew it I went from stealing candy, people’s shoes, phones, and anything I wanted that I didn’t have to breaking and entering peoples houses, cars, and stealing drugs while selling drugs. I started getting more and more distance from music, family, sports, and my innocent child hood friends. Around 2015-2016 I started seeing a lot of young artist becoming famous and wealthy which really motivated me to start making actual songs with what I had and prove to myself that I can too. I released a few singles on soundcloud with the name Auxxcordlord then eventually getting some traction at my highschool and growing a small fan base. I was in a soccer team at the time but because of my lifestyle that passion for soccer rapidly faded away as so did my passion for music. I lost friends, family, money, and my mind that at one point I didn’t want to live anymore and tried to overdose on Cough Syrup. I was so upset with everyone including myself and questioning everything leading up to that day in my life. That same night I had an encounter in a dream. I was so scared beyond words can explain that there’s no other way to explain it besides I was visited by the devil himself. I woke relieved that I wasn’t in that situation anymore repenting asking God for forgiveness and apologizing for everything I said out of anger. Still very confused and wondering if what just happened was even real I just kept to myself and carried on my day like any other. That following night I had another dream but this time it was the complete opposite. I saw a bridge and there was this guy standing there waiting for me. I walked up to him and I couldn’t see his face it was like nothing was there but it was there if that makes any sense. He spoke no words but he was saying so much at the same time. Before I knew it I was told “everything’s going to be alright” and I woke up. Woke up with tears in my eyes and so much relief as if all the weight I’ve been carrying was lifted off my shoulders. Still confused I knew for a fact either I just encounter Jesus or life was giving me a sign to change and keep going. My passion for music was slowly growing again. Eventually making an eleven track Album called “The Auxx” in 2021. A lot of people gave me positive feedback and encouraged me to pursue music instead the streets. I understood I had a choice, either die in this lifestyle I’m living or change for the better and pursue my dreams. I realized that everything leading up to that point wasn’t to hurt me but to help me learn from my mistakes.
I started picking up my passion for music again and released my second Album “1 0f 1” in 2022 and from that day forward I knew music was my passion and what I was born to do. I never had a goal besides releasing good music, but now my goal is to help others with similar problems cope and enjoy an escape from reality while reflecting on their personal reality in order to change for the better. “Nothing to big or to small is to much for the one in the sky.” Just like myself I want my music to evolve in hopes that one day I can be a positive influence for a kid like me looking for a way out instead of choosing the easy way in.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Lots of twists and turns in my life with multiple trails and tribulations
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I’m a Rap/hip hop artist from Houston.
I also model and design clothes.
I’m mostly known for my musical talents behind the microphone.
I’m mostly proud of how much my musics improved over the past 3 years and will only continue to improve.
What sets me apart from others is the way I carry myself and how I execute my lyrics into a song. My style is unique and once u hear one of my songs there’s no debate weather or not it’s a song from the Auxx,
Who else deserves credit in your story?
I wanna thank my close friends and early supporters for making me peruse music and supporting me from the very start. Especially Leo, Fredrick, and Alexis for being the main people who really gave me a sense of what my music could eventually become in the future.
Without those three I probably wouldn’t of kept going with my music career.
