Avelino on Ego, Growth, and Collaboration
UK rapper Avelino discusses his experience working with Dave and the pivotal moment when he realised his ego was holding him back. By confronting this, he discovered that humility and openness were essential to unlocking his full potential.
Working with Dave
Avelino describes his collaboration with Dave as more than just a musical partnership. It became a mirror reflecting his own blind spots and an engine driving his professional growth. He acknowledges that teaming up with someone who challenges you, demands authenticity and elevates the process is invaluable.
Ego Nearly Killed the Journey
He admits that his ego, the part of him that believed in going it alone, being untouchable or always leading almost derailed his progress. When your focus becomes “me” rather than “we”, you risk isolating yourself, missing growth opportunities and undervaluing the input of others. Avelino’s album titled ‘Ego Kills’ symbolises this reckoning.
