Three years ago, a friend encouraged

He was selected as

and became a finalist in the national edition of the contest in 2017. "What motivated me the most is being able to publicize the existence of

" explains this young man from Peter who was born with cerebral palsy 28 years ago now.

"I have always liked the audiovisual world and although everything happened a bit by chance, it ended up being a success and gave a boost to my more artistic career, as well as my presence on social networks".

The latest adventure he has embarked on is Tik Tok, the Chinese social network that he was initially suspicious of.

Enrique Bernabeu explains that he wants to continue growing on social networks by generating inclusive content and combining it with his professional career, although he acknowledges that he would like to further exploit his artistic and communicative skills.
