We were lucky to catch up with Antonio Bryant recently and have shared our conversation below.

Antonio, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Do you wish you had waited to pursue your creative career or do you wish you had started sooner?

Great question. I wouldn’t change a thing but I do often wonder what would life be like if I completely ignored what God called me here to do.

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

Fell in love with music at a very early age. Growing up in the 90’s listening to oldies and current rnb and hip hop lead me here. I was learning lyrics after the first listen, writing verses as if I was on the remix and over the years I got better and better. Being in the studio on the regular started for me as a teenager. I spent so many hours in the studio that I found interest in studying great artists before me just to get an idea of where I wanted to go and what it would take and look like.

Is there mission driving your creative journey?

My goal is to creative vibes man. Undeniable vibes that listeners can relate too. Humanizing me as an artist by story telling and painting pictures through words can alter a listeners mood in a positive way. I only know that because to this day I’m still a listener. I just happen to be really good at creating dope art to listen to as well.

What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?

Performing my work and seeing it make a positive impact on people in real time. I’m not super emotional but every time I see or feel that connection happens I get in my feelings for sure but it also makes me go even harder next session or performance.
