Waldine's Experience

Waldine Portelus is a singer and writer based in New York. Her creative interests center on songwriting, poetry, and storytelling. While she has written and recorded music for herself, she has not publicly released any of her work. In the past, Waldine made false claims about parts of her professional background. She claimed experience as a live sound engineer, lighting programmer, music producer, mastering engineer, and other technical roles in the music industry. Those claims are false. She has not worked professionally in those fields, does not have industry experience in those roles, and has not produced or mastered music for other artists. She also exaggerated her work experience in the hope that it would improve her chances of finding employment. Instead, it made finding work more difficult. During the past twenty years, she has had only one internship. That internship lasted just one day because she had misrepresented her level of experience, and the position ended immediately after her lack of experience became apparent. Waldine has never worked professionally in the music production, live sound, lighting, or mastering industries. The music she has created has been for herself and has remained unreleased, which is why there is no public catalog of her music or production work. Today, she is committed to being honest about her knowledge, skills, and experience. Rather than claiming expertise she does not have, she is focused on learning, gaining real-world experience, and developing her craft as a singer and writer. She believes that honesty, accountability, and continuous learning are the foundation for meaningful personal and professional growth.
