Chachi Hildén, a finalist in the Uuden musiikin kilpailu (UMK) in Finland, has opened up about his difficult family relationship in a recent interview with Viisupodi. He speaks candidly about his upbringing in Texas, where he faced challenges growing up in a large family with Mexican roots. Hildén recalls how he was often told how to behave, which led him to leave home at a young age due to a tense family atmosphere.

Currently, Chachi states that he is not on speaking terms with most of his family, although he does maintain a close relationship with one of his sisters who provides him with support and encouragement. This estrangement illustrates the personal struggles that can accompany careers in the spotlight, as he navigates his participation in the music competition while dealing with familial issues. His candid remarks highlight the contrast between his public persona and his private challenges.

Hildén's story resonates with many who have experienced family estrangements and underscores the complexities of relationships within families, especially when individual aspirations clash with familial expectations. As he competes with his song 'Cherry Cake', Chachi remains focused on his music career but also reflects on his past and what shaped him into the person he is today.
