Creativity Quote by Ednita Nazario

"I have to trust what I do and then do it"

About this Quote

A pop singer doesn’t survive decades on sheer talent; she survives on judgment. Ednita Nazario’s line, "I have to trust what I do and then do it", reads like a mantra, but it’s really a compact job description for anyone whose work is publicly measured in real time. The first clause is the hard part: trust. Not confidence as a personality trait, but trust as a decision made under uncertainty - before the applause, before the charts, before the comment section delivers its verdict.

The subtext is about control in an industry built to take it away. Musicians are surrounded by proxies for certainty: producers, executives, algorithms, fans with “notes,” nostalgia with demands. Trusting what she does is a way of reclaiming authorship from all that noise. It’s also a quiet admission that doubt never disappears; it’s simply not allowed to be the director.

Then comes the pivot: "and then do it". No romance, no myth of inspiration. Just execution. It’s a reminder that artistry is less a lightning bolt than a sequence of choices you commit to: the key you sing in as your voice changes over time, the persona you keep or shed, the songs you record that may not fit what people want from you.

Contextually, for a Puerto Rican star who has moved through shifting eras of Latin pop and ballad traditions, the quote lands as professional survival strategy: belief first, action immediately, validation later - if it comes at all.
