Show Notes

Before becoming a resident of one of Florida's most demanding correctional facilities, prison pen pal Miguel Cordero was immersed in the world of video games, logging countless hours on various consoles. However, following his arrest and the onset of a daunting 20-year sentence, he found himself grappling with intense emotions and a fiery temper. His notorious anger earned him the moniker "Psycho" among his fellow inmates -- a title that ultimately helped fuel his transformation.

During a grueling stretch of nearly a year in solitary confinement, Miguel discovered a powerful outlet: music. What began as a coping mechanism blossomed into a remarkable passion, propelling him to create an astounding repertoire of over 1,000 songs across various genres. Channeling his energy into artistry, he managed to transcend his past and navigate through the shadows of his anger, evolving into a more productive individual throughout his incarceration, with newfound optimism and dreams of success post-release.

Join us for an intimate interview with Miguel Cordero, where he will share his remarkable journey, discuss the kind of partner he hopes to connect with on PenPals.Buzz (spoiler alert: a patient one who can keep him grounded) and even showcase his vocal talents in a live phone performance straight from his cell.
