We recently connected with Supa Star Six and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Supa Star, thanks for joining us today. We’d love to hear the backstory behind a risk you’ve taken – whether big or small, walk us through what it was like and how it ultimately turned out.

When you’re young you’re just a kid with big dreams and aspirations. You don’t know which roads to take, the risk that are involved, and how long it’s gonna take you to get there. I started my journey over 20 years ago and I’m still met with obstacles everyday. I thought I wanted to be just an artist at first because my main focus was the art. Limited resources forced me to think bigger and explore more! While pursuing my dream of becoming the biggest kid rapper in the world, I ended up learning to produce and record music, market, promote and advertise it. All of which Im still doing today and have seen success from it.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

I’m Supa Star Six, a singer-songwriter, music producer, and entertainment mogul in the making. I’m originally from Thomasville, GA and currently reside in the Atlanta metro area. I’ve had the opportunity to work with a number of artist both major and independent. I’ve been in the music industry professionally for going on 20 years now. I’m not just a creator, I’m also a teacher, motivational speaker, life coach and somebody who can give you knowledge and wisdom from experience. I like to help people pinpoint their desired goal and formulate a plan of action to help them achieve it. What sets me apart from others is, I’ve had to wear all of the hats. So I can give people knowledge about every aspect of the business of music. From the artist perspective and the executive. I’m proud of myself for never letting go of that burning desire to stay on a progressive path. Over the years I’ve seen people quit and take on a completely different identity. Absolutely nothing wrong with pivoting so long as you remember why you started in the first place.

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?

One of the things about me that I hope inspires people is, my unwavering desire to persevere. When I started making music, I didn’t know I was going to have to learn everything there is to know about the music business. Mind you I was on 7 or 8 years old so I was focused on the fun part! Being the best artist, performing in front of people, making millions of dollars, seeing myself on TV and in magazines all across the world. If you know anything about where I’m from, there’s limited resources there for people who aspire to become entertainers. There were no recording studios, no music schools, no outlets to further your career, nothing at all so guess what I had to do? I had to create it! I built my first recording studio with stuff lying around the house. Old radios, a karaoke machine and a DJ mixer given to me by one of my older cousins. Later my mom purchased me a $100 keyboard from Radio Shack and I taught myself to produce music. We did have a local radio station that would play artist music from time to time. In the 7th grade I was able to convince one of the Djs “Disco Lover” to play one of my songs on the radio. I didn’t think he was going to do it but when it came on, I was like, “Ohhh Sh** I’m on the radio!!” From there, I was doing everything in my power to learn more about the industry and put myself in position to win! I started my own record label in the 7th grade and by the time I was in high school, I was producing other artist and selling my cds to any and everyone who would buy them. I knew it would only be a matter of time before someone came across my music and would help me take my dream to the next level. My senior year in high school is when my life changed forever! I met a man by the name of Johnny Nimes who worked at Morehouse college in Atlanta. I was performing at an Omega Psi Phi event in Jekyll Island Ga when he came up to me. We had a brief conversation and I gave him one of my CDs and the rest was history! He passed that demo along to a guy by the name of Brandon “BL” Lewis who’s the son of the late great Ronald “Butch” Lewis. Butch Lewis then took it to Jay Z and LA Reid at Def Jam and that’s how I got my start in the business professionally. That was in 2005 and now we’re here in 2024 and I’m still doing what I love to do! I’ve had a long journey! It’s gotten ugly at times. There were times when I wanted to quit but I knew I couldn’t. I knew that my success was not just for me, but for others as well! I had to go through all of the things that I did for some kid somewhere who has a dream and no idea how they’re going to make it a reality. When I agreed and aligned myself with this purpose, I had to accept everything that came with it! I understand that now more that I ever have.

What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?

The most rewarding aspect of being an artist for me, is knowing that I’m contributing something positive, inspirational, and uplifting to the world. The music is one thing, the story behind the music is another! In all that you do, aspire to inspire! One last thing before I go, go check out my new single Cowgirl (Ride). Thank yall!
