00:00Violeta, shh, I'm recording for GQ.

00:04The dog is excited because I'm doing the essentials for GQ of course.

00:08Violeta, shh!

00:10What's up GQ, I'm Camilo and these are my 10 essentials.

00:20So I'm gonna start with this one, this is my journal.

00:22This is the first thing I do every morning in my life.

00:25Like I really need to write about what I'm feeling, how do I feel inside of my heart, you know.

00:32What I'm trying to fix in me, my projects, my dreams.

00:37When I go 3 or 4 or 5 years back in my old journals and I read what I was feeling when I was about to release let's say my first song.

00:46And to remember that I'm feeling the same exact thing now and how can I like...

00:51Like I don't want to repeat myself, I want to know myself so I can improve myself.

00:56Like I finish one of these every let's say like 2 months and I have them all.

01:01Like in my labor I have like hundreds, like maybe a hundred I think so.

01:06So this is my journal journal, like what I'm feeling everyday.

01:09But I have like a prayer journal, what I'm having like in my heart and I'm like revisiting everyday.

01:14I have a song writing journal, which is another different one.

01:18I have a vision journal, where I like write what I'm dreaming about and revisit everyday so I can like...

01:29That's a huge thunder.

01:31Second essential.

01:35For sure my guitar.

01:36This is not actually a guitar, this is a guitar Lele.

01:39I'm always traveling with a different instrument.

01:41Not only because it's travel size, but because I wanna get uncomfortable with my song writing.

01:49Like when I'm writing always and just with the guitar, maybe I'm gonna start repeating stuff and going for the same chords that I love.

01:57But traveling with a different instrument is like a challenge for me.

02:01So I can start like following like a sound that I like, right?

02:06And then I start like improvising stuff beyond words, beyond melody.

02:18I'm not saying anything, but it sounds great.

02:20And I like it.

02:21I mean, I like it.

02:23Boom.

02:24This is essential.

02:27If you have a mustache, this is essential for you.

02:31I've been trying every mustache wax in the world.

02:35But the only one that works is the beast wax.

02:37I love it.

02:38I cannot live without it.

02:39I have to take it with my nail and then I have to warm it up, right?

02:44Like I have to do this a hundred of times.

02:46And when it's like really warm, you can put it there.

02:50And then when it gets cold again, your mustache is where it should be, right?

02:56So I've been in the position where I lose my mustache wax and I don't know what to do.

03:00So since that moment, everybody that is around me has one.

03:04My wife has a mustache wax.

03:06My manager has one in the car, in the guitar, in the nylon guitar, in the ukulele, my photographer.

03:12Everybody has one because if I lose this and I don't have it, I cannot fix it.

03:16My mustache inspiration would be Pancho Villa.

03:21His mustache was on point.

03:24Dali mustache was a little thinner and way longer.

03:28But Pancho Villa was like kind of this mustache.

03:31He's my mustache inspiration.

03:34This is essential for me.

03:37Kindle.

03:38The thing with the Kindle is that at the beginning I was holding myself from having it

03:43because I'm a huge fan of real books and I read a lot.

03:46But the thing is when you travel all the time with seven books, it's like exhausting.

03:52A thunder.

03:54A thunder.

03:55We're in the middle of the Dominican Republic.

03:58A lot of thunders.

03:59Like of course there's books that I don't want to have here because I want to have them like

04:03and smell de las hojas.

04:05How do you say las hojas?

04:06Like the pages, right?

04:07I love that.

04:08But this is awesome.

04:10So another essential.

04:15Bees, honey.

04:16My parents are beekeepers.

04:18That's their main thing in their lives, you know, beekeeping.

04:22And my life was all around bees.

04:25That's why I have a bee here.

04:27And so honey is like part of my life.

04:29Like every day I'm using it for something different from a scrub.

04:32Like if I'm feeling bad with my throat and whatever, honey, you know, like that's part of who I am.

04:38This is my sister brand.

04:40So we all like in my family love honey.

04:43It's part of our lives.

04:45My yoga man.

04:49To be honest, this is not my yoga man.

04:52Like I'm gonna do yoga every day.

04:54But I just like look for one.

04:56And most of the times in the hotels, they don't have yoga mats or some don't have.

05:01And I do it with a towel.

05:03I've been practicing Ashtanga yoga for at least, I think like eight years ago.

05:09When I started meditating, when I started breathing with conscience.

05:14It's about a philosophy of life, of unity.

05:18Me as an artist, I'm part of a very stimulating industry with a lot of ups and downs, you know.

05:24You should have a practice and a discipline that brings you down to earth and to connect with who you really am.

05:32That is not the charts, the songs, the concerts, the sold outs, but that that is inside of you.

05:39And yoga brings me back to that, you know.

05:43So a very important part of my life too.

05:46And a very essential part.

05:50It's my jewelry.

05:51Like my earrings, my necklaces.

05:55Like I don't use them just for how they look.

05:59Like every one of them holds like a part of my journey and my story, you know.

06:05Like I was telling you guys, this and the bee is part of like the, like el emblema.

06:10Like the picture of my family.

06:12Beekeeping honey bees, you know.

06:14Let's say this says why.

06:16And I have it, it's my brother-in-law.

06:18And it's talk about my why.

06:20And every time I see it, I remember why I'm doing what I'm doing, you know.

06:24My earring.

06:25Every little thing that is like hanging in my earring holds a little story, you know.

06:30Like of a very important dinner that I had with my wife that I really remember.

06:35The first gift that my brothers-in-law gave me when we started writing together.

06:40That was the start point of my career.

06:43The E of my wife, Eva Luna.

06:47And she has a C and I have an E so we feel like we're together with that.

06:52I don't know.

06:53It doesn't mean that we are more together because of that.

06:57But it's like a reminder, you know.

06:59It's beautiful.

07:00My wedding ring.

07:01I mean, it's just a ring or not.

07:03It's like a reminder of a beautiful and spiritual and mystical bond that you have with the most important person of your life.

07:09Every little detail that I wear in my body means something.

07:16It carries a message and a part of who I am.

07:20Not only aesthetic wise, but storytelling wise.

07:25Right?

07:26So another one.

07:27Coconut oil.

07:29I love coconut oil.

07:31And I use it for everything.

07:33Like, I mean, it's part of my daily life in different aspects.

07:37In the shower, I use it.

07:38When you have to do like a scrub, you use it.

07:43In the shakes.

07:44Like if I'm in a very dry place, I use this as a moisturizer.

07:49When you do coffee and coconut oil and you shake it, like in a blender, like it's kind of like a latte.

07:55Me and my wife, we use it for everything.

07:58So, peppermint essential oil.

08:04This is very important.

08:05And it's always in my bag, in my backpack, in my mochila, with me all the time.

08:12Because we use it every day.

08:14For everything.

08:15If you have headache, dolor de cabeza, mint.

08:18If you're dizzy, this is the best.

08:21Like in the lengua, boom.

08:23Little drop, and that's it.

08:24If you have like a cold or like difficulty with breathing, we use it all the time.

08:30We use it for the inhalers, the vaporizer, the little things that like, like the spa things.

08:37For massages, in the candles, in the tea, for everything.

08:41This is like our medicine every day.

08:45This is essential for me too.

08:48My pintura de uñas.

08:49My nail paint.

08:51In my nails, I have a little dot in every one of them.

08:54Like I used it once to remind myself of, like I love the poetry in the image of God creating us from the dust.

09:05You know?

09:06From the floor.

09:07From nothing.

09:08Like from nothing special at all.

09:10And it's exactly the spirit, the breathing, the ruah, they say in the Hebrew culture.

09:17The ruah that made us unique and special.

09:20But it's a beautiful reminder that yes, we are divine.

09:23But yes, we are nothing.

09:25Dust.

09:26And that's a reminder of that.

09:28I used it once.

09:29And when I tried to take it out, like I felt like naked.

09:33Like when you're lacking something, like, oh my God, I need this.

09:35And I did it again.

09:36And since that moment, like three years ago, I haven't stopped.

09:41And my hands are all the time in camera, in the scene, in the guitar, in the spot, you know?

09:48And I want every little detail and corner of my person to share a message, you know?

09:54What you wear, what you share, what you, your hair, your face, your eyes, your manos.

10:02They're sharing a message all the time.

10:04I'm a very passionate person about the impression that you make on people.

10:09So, to be honest, I haven't thought about doing anything else because this is part of who I am.

10:15Thank you guys so much for checking out my essentials.

10:25I'm Camilo.

10:26Thank you for having me here and see you next time.
