La Biografía de D'mendo Boteli: Un Relato de Arte, Resiliencia y Misterio

D'mendo Boteli es un enigma viviente, una fuerza creativa cuya existencia se forjó entre la genialidad y la adversidad. Nacido el 24 de septiembre de 1974, su vida es una epopeya moderna, un viaje de transformación que lo ha llevado desde las cimas del éxito hasta las profundidades de la pérdida, solo para resurgir con una obra más potente y auténtica.

El Origen de un Prodigio

Desde sus primeros años, D'mendo Boteli se manifestó como un ser de talentos inusuales. A los ocho años ganó un concurso de poesía, y a los trece se convirtió en padre. Lejos de doblegarlo, estas circunstancias lo impulsaron hacia una búsqueda artística sin límites. De forma autodidacta, se convirtió en un pianista prodigioso, dominando las sonatas de Beethoven sin una educación formal, mientras incursionaba como oyente en la Facultad de Medicina de la UNAM, buscando respuestas en la ciencia.

Su talento musical floreció en la composición de más de 200 obras para piano y conjuntos de cámara. Como compositor neoclásico, Boteli desarrolló un estilo propio y auténtico que lo llevó a dar recitales privados en escenarios de Colombia, Chile, Brasil y Argentina.

Ascenso y Caída de un Visionario Empresarial

La creatividad de Boteli no se confinó al arte. Su mente de empresario lo llevó a la cima, donde se asoció con la prestigiosa firma Grupo Mores Tempora, proveyendo ropa de alto lujo a boutiques de élite como El Palacio de Hierro y Liverpool. Las marcas que manejaba incluían Aquascutum of London, The London badge & Button y Jean Baptiste Caumont. 

En 1999, invirtió en un ambicioso proyecto hotelero en Cancún con influyentes inversionistas judíos y libaneses, amasando un capital considerable.

Sin embargo, el destino tenía otros planes. Tras una abrupta ruptura sentimental, se vio obligado a huir del país. El fracaso de sus negocios culminó en 2004, dejándolo en la quiebra. Pero el golpe más duro llegó en 2007 con la trágica pérdida de su madre, un evento seguido por el saqueo y robo de sus bienes a manos de los hijos de su padrastro. 

Estos oscuros capítulos no fueron el final de su historia, sino el crisol donde se forjó su verdadera fuerza.

La Lucha y el Renacer de un Artista

La adversidad en la vida de D'mendo Boteli no se limitó a lo personal y financiero. En 2005, sufrió un atentado, y las peleas y en 2006 diferencias con otra ex pareja, sobrina de un jefe de la mafia, lo llevaron a abandonar la vida pública por completo.

Estos eventos, lejos de silenciarlo, canalizaron su experiencia en un acto de creación pura y un resurgimiento artístico imparable.

Volvió a la música, incursionando con pasión en el género popular, con canciones que se encuentran en plataformas como Spotify, Apple Music y Tidal. Entre sus títulos más conocidos se encuentran:
 

 * "Estás mejor sin mi"
 * "Más allá del miedo"
 * "Eres basura"
 * "Aunque el universo acabe"
 * "Si tú me hicieras falta"
 * "Esclavo de tus caricias" 

Además de la música, su pluma se ha vuelto más prolífica. Ha escrito novelas como "Isabella y el Peregrino", "El corazón de Fátima" y "Los niveles más bajos del alma", y actualmente está creando "El Gambito del Alma" en Wattpad.

Como artista plástico, pintó más de 200 obras que han adornado las paredes de coleccionistas de arte.

La negativa de Boteli a asistir a sus propias exposiciones lo envuelve en un aura de misterio, ganándose el apodo de "El artista fantasma".

D'mendo Boteli continúa su labor creativa, buscando colaboraciones y exponiendo su trabajo. Su historia es un poderoso testimonio de la incesante curiosidad y el compromiso inquebrantable con la expresión artística, demostrando que su legado se forja no solo a través de sus obras, sino a través de su propia capacidad para renacer de las sombras.

Born in Virginia, raised in Maryland; survivor of an alcoholic  family; graduated High School and Union Carpenters Apprenticeship; a student of Algebra, a student of Life, a  brown belt Samurai Chess Player; gave up clarinet in 2nd grade because he was too young to understand;  gave up French class 5 years later because he could not speak the language; turned down Ms. Maria Blautzig for the Sadie Hawkins Dance because she had turned  down his request earlier in the school year; walked out of typing class on day one, hell HOUR one, because he could not handle the stress of it;  walked out of Oklahoma State University because he really needed help at that point and did not know how to ask for it, so ‘tear it all down and blow it up’ seemed to be the only way to find any; experienced the deepest loneliness of his entire life to date out on that highway, with no direction anywhere.  He has worked as a ditch digger, a grass cutter, a TV Guide door to door salesman; he has been a farm worker, carpenters’ helper, apprentice, a Journeyman carpenter in Local 132, a Home Improvement contractor and a Facilities Maintenance Engineer.  He has passed up more opportunities than cars on a freight train; he has hitchhiked, hobo’ed and walked across tens of thousands of miles of America's roadways, and a few in Canada, for good measure.

By virtue of  a chance encounter one snowy January night in 1993, when he met and eventually married the revolutionary communist, aspiring novelist, multi instrumentalist soprano and as yet unheralded expert at fitting leftovers into the refrigerator, the  beguiling, and sumptuous Ms. Juliana; this union subsequently created the talented, smart, bubbly, and eye-catching Ms. Sophia, she of the musical pipes.
Mr Higgins first picked up the guitar at age 23, the harmonica at 57, and wrote his first book at age 5, or 6. It shall remain forever unpublished, as the only handwritten master of it is lost to the dustbin of history.

++++. PROFILE NOTES ++++

Once a wannabe, not yet a has been.

It had been over a decade since I put together a song,
and for that matter basically walked away from music altogether.
Losing hope that I would ever have the time to put into music again,
I finally gave away my 3rd music studio.
I ran across SoundCloud around 2013,
and thought I might take what few songs I had recorded, 
and lay them to rest there.
And there they languished.

HOWEVER, around 2017 I went back to SoundCloud
and began listening a little more and a little more,
and actively taking a part in visiting the sites
of so many wonderful musicians and beautiful songs.
Also, more and more often I would discover that these artists
were blossoming everywhere around the world,
and most definitely worthy of high praise and compliments.

Then suddenly, these old dead soundtracks right here
began to have a bit of life breathed back into them.
From the kind words that began to come trickling in,
I thought, maybe, someday I might give this music thing a try again.

The thing that finally pushed me into action
was a particular SoundCloud artist…Sander Heerings,
AKA https://soundcloud.com/wane-of-summer
 

Not only was he encouraging,
but he began faithfully responding to a few questions,
then a barrage of them.

The final result seemed to be that after a couple of months,
the Old Grinder now has a 4th studio and, finally, a new song.
I hope there may be many more to come.

Thank you Sander, and to the multitude that have dropped in
to listen to these old songs, 
and most of all, for perking up my spirits.

A former San Francisco 49er Offensive Lineman, Eric now composes and produces music in the epic, cinematic, and ambient genres. His compositions are, by design, ultra melodic and follow a hybrid orchestral style similar to film composers Hans Zimmer and James Horner, and epic cinematic artist Two Steps From Hell.

Eric lives in Austin, TX, with his wife Emily and their two young daughters, both aspiring musicians :) 

Thanks for listening everyone!  Such a wonderful community here on Soundcloud!
