His whole life was always surrounded by art. Whether it was music, visuals, or simply story telling art always tended to revolve around him. When he was very young he began writing stories, and poems to express himself and the hardships he dealt with on a daily. Coming up from a very poverty stricken town tends to make the best ideas blossoms, so he decided to take advantage.
At first, he was a little skeptical upon being serious simply because he didn’t have the proper tools to commit. However, once he started to obtain knowledge in the subject he engulfed himself completely. It took a hold of him; it sheltered him allowing him to become the person he is today, a very blunt, conscious, real individual.
In the beginning, there was nothing. He had no knowledge, no money, and no guide. He had no connections, to anyone willing to help, and all those he reached out to told him the same exact thing “Learn how to do it for yourself.” Being the person he is he greeted this with open arms. Hw bought a cheap microphone, a crappy laptop, and picked a spot in his house to record. He got to work!
Quality was horrible, but it was something! He started experimenting with his work and started learning the sounds of others. He realized the best way to be yourself is to stray as far away from others as possible. Become your own person, with your own unique way of working. That is the hardest problem. To find out whom you really are.
Luckily he have a very supporting mother. His mother to this day supports what he do, because he have proven to her that he is capable of succeeding at whatever he put his mind to.
He feel that whatever work you go into there will always be more to learn. Even when you succeed you must learn a way to be consistently successful and in that case you still may fail.
He always buried his self in books. As a kid he use to do a lot of stupid things that would always keep him in trouble, so literature was his access to the outside world. This is where a lot of his inspiration came from. All the knowledge he obtained allowed him to create wonderful stories, and sparked ideas for future work.
He found out that he had a natural talent. He figured that he could put it to good use to help others, and he took a shot. The rest is all history.
The main thing that really surprised him about his career would be the relationships he built with fellow peers. Peer leadership is a big responsibility in the music industry, and is crucial when dealing with others. If you can’t talk, you can’t walk. Being able to network, gain knowledge, friendships, and fans at the same time is a beautiful thing.
"Support! The main thing is to support your artists, support their ideas, and let them become who they are supposed to be. Give very tough feedback, to ensure they grow, and advise them when needed. Sometimes letting someone the truth will hurt, but also help."
As for him, working provides experience, and with experience comes wisdom. Wisdom then allows him to broaden his ideas and channel focus on many things. This will only allow him grow as a person, and continue to strive for success. Just remember, as long as you do what makes you happy, enjoy truly living.
