I'm An Artist ! Now Leave Me Alone

Since his first works, Etienne Lopa has become an increasingly well-
traveled citizen in the world of words, music and the general art of

beauty. Written over the course of three busy years, I’m an Artist! Now
Leave Me Alone is his second book of poetry and third major creative
project. Translated into this collection are Lopa’s intricate emotions and
personal growth, giving readers a reserved glimpse into the truth of his
life and bigger picture of his journey as an artist.
The poems in this collection, written between 2020 and 2022, in
concision with the conceptualization of Lopa’s debut album, Botanique,
document his path through life’s many obstacles. Within the context of
his career, the poems provide a fascinating perspective, as Lopa
harnesses the struggle inherent in the long creative process of a
musical project waiting to be started and shapes it into another outlet for
expression.
