'Platónico' es una canción cuya fusión e influencia musical provienen del pop americano, y flow latino. Es una canción cuyo mensaje abarca el concepto de un amor perfecto, un amor de sueño, totalmente mágico, algo platónico. 

Después de algunos años de re-invención musical y artística, JP Zabala ofrece una nueva propuesta musical, mostrando su lado más vulnerable, honesto, y divertido. 'Platónico' es una canción que se compuso en Miami, Fl. 

En compañía del cantante y compositor Jorge Finol (quien es artista invitado en la canción). La propuesta lírica, y melódica fue compuesta por artista JP Zabala, finalmente el tema es producido por prodcutor Ricardo Mateus.  

In this episode, I interviewed my friend JP Zabala, who is fortunate enough to make a living doing what he loves - music.

Join us as we discussed his Hispanic background, the challenges he had as he transitioned from Ecuadorian culture to US one, and how music cuts down borders. He recounted how he became a full-time musician and how he dealt with a lot of competition. We talked about the current projects he is working on, being a composer, finding the melody to produce a great song piece and his experiences in making music videos.

He also shared his perspective on social media expectations and other initiatives he's currently interested in that are not music-related.
