La Doña opened up about her experience throughout the coronavirus pandemic, how she's giving back to her community and more in our new interview
Do you still have a part-time job at Pandora as a music analyst?
I’m still only making about probably less than half of what I should ordinarily be making. This month has not been that bad because my landlords are incredibly generous and I didn’t have to pay rent for the month of April, but next month I will have to pay rent so not sure what it’ll be like for me, but definitely it’ll be a readjustment. My mom was a teacher and my dad works for the city and we never were hungry growing up, but we had to learn how to be frugal if you wanted to raise a family.
And yes, thankfully still have the job at Pandora. That was like the one job that I’m happy I didn’t quit because online radio will hopefully still exist.I’ve applied to several grants through the San Francisco Arts Commission and another theater company, but I haven’t received any of those grants. I also applied for unemployment through my job with SF Jazz where I have an artist residency and I’m getting a third of what I was making there so that’s good for me.
I know that merch is a huge part and I know that’s how a lot of emerging artists make most of their money but I wasn’t necessarily focused on that as much as I was getting ready for my live performances coming up. But, it's definitely really heartbreaking. I don’t like selling things if I don’t have anything to give as well.
For that reason, I feel very strongly about doing some type of arrangement with the vinyl. I want to be able to make our money back but also put funds where they’re mostly needed.Yeah, I've been sewing masks and at first it felt like really sad and pathetic and I thought, 'Damn that’s the only thing I can do -- sit and make masks?' But it’s proven to be pretty helpful for people. Now that there is an order for everyone to wear a mask, it’s going to be necessary and important.
