your your artist journeys. I just mentioned your artists the podcast.
(00:48):
A little bit about your journey being an artist and
how did you become an artist? It really really came
because I just loved hip hop music when I was
a kid, I just watched music videos.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I was just inspired.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
I just follow stuff, you know, listen to the radio
back then, radio recene, he rest. I just took two
of it as a form of expression and it just
became like a first level back you know. So I
just wanted to figure out how could I exist eve.
You know, everyone kind of starts you'll wanting to be
a rapist stuff with you. But I just learned kind
of like how the business where just learning things beyond
(01:19):
just conceiving the music and.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Just having like a different perspective.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
So over time I just kind of like immersed myself
into scene out here and stuff like that, where even
when I first first started, me and my friends wanted
to start their leaving, so I was already thinking from
an admin point of view, you know, So that just
went into me busted moves in the scene, and then
just pivot in the view media because I felt like
the media.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I could take my knowledge, take my passion and learn.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
New things and get to know what's really out here
in the city because a lot of people say, oh
see you don't have this, don't have this, there's a
local scene everyone that you have to tap into that
to understand how to shop and swore about us, you
know something.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
But I just kind of became of service.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
That was more of avoid the field, so graphic design,
all kinds of stuff. So I just built the clientele,
built the things that feels like a trust for you,
and they just learned to be myself in the process
of keeping that passionate hit for the front. But fast
forward twenty I really want to started making music again,
and while I was doing that.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I was writing for artists and things like that.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
So I just been on the journey just like putting
music out. I haven't putting out some of the two years,
but working on projects and incorporating the music more than
just saying yo, y rap or YO want to do.
It's like, I want to build on projects that my
other skills can you know?
Speaker 2 (02:35):
First? And then I want you to corporate music.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
With So if I write a book, I'm gonna do
a soundtrack to the book, right, you know what I'm
saying stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
So that's what I'm.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Thinking for versatility. I love it you mentioned that you
write for other artists. I want to learn more about
some of the artists you've written for. But I also
want to learn do you chew? Do you have a
process when it comes to who do you write for?
Like how how do those things come about?
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I'll be honest. Song.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
When I first started writing a show, if I got
tracks man be one of the first people that really
gave me a shot. And it was after he did
I be like me. His industry connections started making moves
and stuff. Life changed for people when they hit that level.
So we always collaborated when he was in town and
stuff like that. So it was just one moment in
the studio. Well even before that, we tried to do
some stuff, it just ain't really hit up. At least mine,
(03:23):
my pet wasn't dead yet, So it was just like
one night I just had a vibe for something that
he produced, and but they were just built that that
catalog and we got a lot of stuff that the
public has I heard. But some of it is like
me having some ideas him changing this, with him having
some ideas real change, and some stuff I may completely right.
Some stuff I may just offer a hook for him
(03:45):
through the rest. So it's more just about how we
getting the song.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Do you know so? And creating it. I guess it's
just I'm not used to writing R and B. I
listened to a lot of R and B songs, but
I don't.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Listen to food R and B albums like I feel
like being the answer that a life so so, but
I listen a lot of Army records, you know, stuff
I like soul music and all that. So that kind
of just helped me understand like how can I compete
with I want to make something like you know, some
Dyna Ross salt.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I want to get to make something on that level.
What can my pin offer in that space? So I
just work with artists are trying to really just just
draw from it.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
And you want to say, and most of the time
we're here, so we talk about what's going on in
your life and I can pull from this piece of
my life and both listen.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Yours and sometimes we got to sow us.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
So I heard you speak going like giving opportunities and relationships.
So I want to ask you how important is building relationships?
And then in turn, given opportunities like soul for instance,
like how someone gave you an opportunity?
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Absolutely, how important is that?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Given the opportunities always important because it shows that get
your wrong experience, did you wisdoms?
Speaker 2 (04:49):
You can have a skill or you can know about something,
but sure you experience it. You have wisdom.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
People who acknowledge that they have wisdom be shared with
people and they help that person do what they gotta do.
Even if you that will have a monetary benefit, you
can have just a legacy build. You can have somewhere
where you can always go and lay your head and
get a plank just because you did this for it's
personal that's what building community, you know, So relationships is everything.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
You gotta know what your product is. You gotta know
how can exist in the market and when it.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Helps toping it works, will think you you know where
you can align yourself with like you know, like minds
are better to see how you feeling, when you fe.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Okay, awesome, and being that you wear so many different hands,
as you said, tell me about that, like, how has
it been navigating that and has one thing bloomed into
the other or how did that work?
Speaker 1 (05:40):
I think just it started with me just having a
passion about somewhere from artists and media. I think I
just saw the voice that could be feel and wings
I think monetized, but also just be upset, and it
just led to me having relationships and things.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
So I think that I treat everything based on like
a priority.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Somebody y'all hits me up and say, hey, I need
a fly you, then I know what I'm setting I'm
trying to keep flying.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
If someone is to say, y'all need work on my
content and work on my material, I just set up
the time.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
And I'm still trying to balance like the regular life, right,
So navigating that and then's still trying to stay more
than the flu.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I just hits my passion. Saw always make tible like yah,
always make time.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
I think just I love it so much and I
know what we can do at that next level of
all resource by can get for the next level.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
And so it it's not only just being impacted but
creating those strings of a fay as far as next level.
What ways do you stay motivated to help you reach
that next level?
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Because I know that sometimes you know, you may feel
like man, it's it's it's not kicking in when I
needed to kick in. So how do you stay assistance?
I think for me personally, like I just keep I
just keep studying, keep that fire, you know, So I
don't I'm not only like watching pay other artists or
other musicians. I founded a YouTube channel for a company
(07:02):
now and then give like the biography on just like
Netscape or chick fool A and learning just how businesses
grow and the scale and how they still and how
they just made certain maneuvits that may have helped them
or her.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
It's so I think for me, I.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Understand look at myself as a brand in the business
and things I do. All I have to do is
just kind of like, look at myself. Okay, I'm going
the same journey that these other guys have. Hey, you
know so and these guys forty somethings for fifty years old.
So I'm looking at them like, Hey, if I'm mature
as far as what I want to do, as far
as output, then I can still have a quote unquote
break at thirteen or forty teen or sixteen five or whatever. Right, and.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
And so if there's a specific moment, I want you
to highlight a specific moment at what age did you know?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Like this is what I wanna do? Ye want me?
Speaker 1 (07:50):
I think I was maybe like twenty j chat in
twenty four like I had kind of like I moved
to Virginia briefly I.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Got to like answer that, but I just start have
to so I kind of come back and part of them,
and I was taking class at youg and that's why
I told them that shame employed. And she means to
show you know, you went to.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Job effisone and she put me put me kind of
like in the mix of book was going doing the media.
So once I just saw how what my value was,
what I could bring to the team and being myself
and not compromising really just learning the game, but being myself.
I was like, all right, right, this this this could
really this could be something I think genuinely like commit
(08:31):
to you. You feel like everything you went through and
pushed through with all that, you feel it with work.
So twenty sixteen definitely, So I was twenty three turn
twenty four.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Okay, So when when being yourself and not compromising, you ever.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Feel like that is a chance where you just you
just need to fit in with the crowd, you know
what I'm saying, Or you just need to blend in
to be able to make that next network or to
make that next next And so could you.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Tell us why is that? Yeah? And doing that?
Speaker 1 (08:59):
And I was. I learned that that action it isn't
as bad as it seems really kind of you know,
not you, but you know, just per se it can
be doing something to fit in as far as just
going to a networking you with through.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
But just.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Paying attention to social media, moving business. It's just literally
about existing with the trend if that's just for what
you're doing. What I learned there's a lot of barbershops
or like move a company, they don't need to spend
a lot of money on social media or a lot
of money or media and pr because it's a word
of mouth kind of business.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
And I mean know they use Google and Google reviews
and stuff, but it's really more word of mouth and learning.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
It's really more people search for they don't really you
don't really need to see a commercial like the moving company.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Everyone know who's the populit or barbershop, bable shops everywhere.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
So what you just got to learn is to have
like you know, there's there's ways that your business model
or your business industry willing through and whatever it's best
for it, you gotta pay attention to endure your way.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Okay, now that you're at the space that that you're at,
and you talked a lot about you know, sharing your
wisdom with other piece, especially what is one profound thing
that you have to share with the audience?
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Actually in love with me? Oh right? Really know yourself,
know who you are.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
With the way we concern media now, especially with phones
and stuff, it's so easy to try to Vicaris, to
live what you think you're seeing. It don't even have
to be the most out language stuff, but it just
means what's blessed for somebody else. So really know what
you're into, you know what you like, and understand who
you are because you can exist in the space that
(10:38):
you're doing what you love. May not make the most
money or have the most recognition or the most thing
suits you, but you.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
May really have a place of peace.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
So knowing yourself and this is so important because I've
just life, maybe just being the industry stuff, just life.
You see so many people being that person that's trying
to be what I think I want to be. Listen,
that's that's more egos.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Know yourself and anything and everything you do in this
giving experience.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I just had one more question and it kind of
relates to somebody knowing yourself during that process. How did
you how did you come to realization like Okay, this
is it, Like this is what I want to do,
this is who I am, and now I'm about to
go for full fledge with it. I can give you
kind of like a a story on one of the
songs made tracks before throwing song on how coming up
(11:29):

Speaker 2 (11:31):

working out of the studio, he was making some music
up there. So I was looking for from the studio
and he was just kind of like going through beats
and stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
So I remember hearing that specific beat and it made
it reminded me of this show that called Gidget Needs
to Come on, like TV Land Days and all that,
so the Sally Field and I was like, yo, this

seventies or something like that, right, So I just kind
