The world has seemingly seen it all that it’s often difficult to say that something or someone is truly unique. We live in an age where we are all desensitized to information, devaluing what truly lies within something special since we’ve practically “seen it all.” Mike Infante, however, is on a whole other level, and he’s here to show the world that a mere disability shouldn’t be enough to stop someone from chasing his dreams and aspirations.

Mike Infante goes above and beyond the status quo. He is not an average 20-year-old. In fact, he has been frequently dubbed as a golden light full of joy which brings a different outlook into the world. Mike has lived his entire life with Cerebral Palsy, but he has never let his disability dull his sparkle, nor has he ever let it define him. The multi-talented individual is an actor, wheelchair bodybuilder for the WNBF, music video director, and a huge advocate for the disabled community.

The renowned Mike Infante has done over 23 theater productions and three films to which he is credited for namely “Mother,” “The Sounds of the Street,” and “Exercise and Realize.” His passion for fitness was deeply rooted within his familial ties as he grew up in a fitness family. His life has always revolved around fitness from physical therapy, adapted physical education and swimming.

At the age of 15, Mike really got into his passion for weightlifting under the teaching of his adapted P.E. Teacher Bob Bell and his father. When he turned 17 years old, he got more serious about weightlifting training with his dad. About a year later, Mike decided to go down the route and pursued bodybuilding entirely.  

He competed in the WNBF (World Natural Bodybuilding Federation) in the wheelchair division and garnered a lot of attention. He dreams of becoming a professional bodybuilder within the WNBF, and he hopes to spread awareness and attract more aspiring athletes to the stage. He attributes much of his success to his prime inspiration, his father. “He is not only my dad but the best coach pushing me day in and day out and reaching my full potential,” shared Mike Infante.

Mike’s mom is also another big inspiration of his. “My mom would push me hard in school when no one else did. She gave me life; she made me the man I am today, and I’m forever grateful,” he added. Apart from his bodybuilding career, he is also a music video director with a twist. He has made things work despite his disability, collaborating with the likes of Bailey Standley, Joshua Albalos, Zach P, and Teighan Fitz.

Mike Infante is an inspiration to all. He hopes to channel all his efforts towards spreading awareness about disabilities and help pave the way for younger generations of disabled individuals. He is a beacon of hope for many generations to come, and he hopes to show the world that a disability should never define an individual. Rather it should be their actions that should be shown on full display.

In the near future, Mike Infante sees himself creating larger impacts within a wide variety of industries that he is involved in. He hopes to raise more awareness of the world and see everyone succeed in their own right. It’s clear to see that the young individual has a heart of gold, a remarkable work ethic, and a passion for succeeding despite the challenges that life has thrown at him from the very beginning.Follow Mike Infante on Instagram to know more about this remarkable individual’s story.

Life is full of ups and downs. There are countless obstacles and challenges that one must face, and that is a universal truth that everyone has to go through. Music is such a powerful vehicle of storytelling that it allows people to feel inspired even in their darkest days. RoRo Yone creates music that helps others persevere through all the hardships in his EP Album, Bones, recently released in June of 2021.

Over the past few months, the North Virginia-based artist has been making waves online and offline. RoRo Yone plucks his deepest lyricism from the ups and downs of his real-life experiences, overlaying them with melodies that transcend the valleys of his daily life.

RoRo Yone’s latest masterpiece, Bones, is the full embodiment of his sheer artistry. The EP dives into the rising artist’s tumultuous life from struggle, conflict, and the road to acceptance. His masterful lyricism allows him to tell a story that presents his authentic values and genuine beliefs, allowing for audiences to resonate with him more and deeply connect with his music.

RoRo Yone often writes and sings about his own experiences, which he turns into stories that bear all his pain and struggles and has an inspirational message for people who feel like throwing in the towel. He sings about life’s roller-coaster experiences and shares lessons and truths that have brought him through the most challenging seasons of his life. 

Bones is a masterful collection of tales and reflections from RoRo Yone’s personal experiences. “I write songs that most people can relate to,” explained the artist. “From day-to-day life to re-living party nights, to life struggles with positive messages, or even the battles everyone deals with when driving,” he added. 

Good artists have a penchant for telling the truth and allowing their message to resonate with audiences deeply. RoRo Yone’s Bones has a multitude of remarkable tracks such as “Make It Bounce,” “Better Days,” “Money Everywhere,” “Good Times,” “Swerve,” and “Goin’ Nowhere.”

The renowned musical artist is no stranger to struggle. RoRo Yone grew up in the Philippines and did not have a lot of opportunities in the beginning. He was born to a low-income family that struggled to put food on the table. Apart from being a broken home, he grew up without a permanent place to call home. “Our family was impoverished, bouncing around houses and spending some time on the streets,” RoRo shares. “To detach from the grim reality surrounding me, I found music to be the perfect form of escapism.”

Roro Yone’s success can be attributed to his magnificent work ethic. After seeing his siblings provide by winning singing contests and paying the bills with the earnings, he decided music would be his roadmap. Finally, after years of dedicating himself to elevating his craft, he got the chance to move to the United States, where he would find several opportunities to create music.

RoRo Yone has overcome many challenges throughout his entire life, and he has only gotten stronger with each passing day. He hopes to inspire people by fueling them with optimism and a work ethic much like his, which has allowed him to shape his destiny for the better.To learn more about RoRo Yone and his music, make sure to check out his official website and follow him on Instagram.
