We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Wavie P.. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Wavie below.

Hi Wavie, thanks for joining us today. When did you first know you wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally?

The moment I knew that music was the path for me was when I was a a volunteer counselor for a local summer camp and we had to put on an end of the summer performance. I had to be about 14 years old or so. The older counselor and myself decided we wanted to put on a live show rap performance using some of the pre teens and kids around that age as the main acts. From what I remember, we placed a basketball court on the stage and reenacted the moment of when young guys meets girls at the court.

We practiced for a few weeks before the big night and that included a few lines (acting) and making sure everyone got the the rhymes down–the most important part!! We had about 15 minutes to perform everything we put together and based off the crowd’s reaction, they loved every moment of what we brought to the stage! It was a collective of everyone bringing their A-Game and having fun more importantly. As you can guess, I definitely spit some bars as well wrote half of the songs for the show! This put a spark in me to let me know that I can bring my thoughts into reality! 🤯 This was a all pre Wavie P.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers?

Was A Valuable Influence Everywhere.

That’s what Wavie stands for and throughout my music and everything that encompasses, I aim to impact those I encounter positively. I liken the style as Life Music, meaning it’s conversational.

I got into music ironically by taking band class in middle school and started with a baritone horn. Bass heavy brass instruments seemed to be my calling because I enjoyed up trying out the tuna at some point and even played around with the French horn while in class.

Coincidentally, while in this class in when I spit my first freestyles with a few classmates. Naw I don’t remember them and if I could remember I spot them same ones over and over everytime I jumped in. I got called out about repeating the same lines during one battle and that’s when I hit the. Pen and pad at home and got to work. I remember recording my first song on a Nokia brick with the audio recorder 🤣🤣

This has been one heck of a journey since then and since then, I’ve been able to touch many people with my words and this has been such a great feeling.

I’ve also jumped into merch and seeing people support me in that aspect has been nothing shirt of a blessing!

Is there something you think non-creatives will struggle to understand about your journey as a creative?

The biggest struggle I think non creatives don’t understand is Time Management for a creative. For most of us, our work load comes at a sporadic space which could cause for our scheduling to be confusing to the outside lens. There’s been times when I’ll tell friends, I’m in the studio and in their mind that means PARTY TIME 🍻🥳🎊, however depending on what I’m working on, that could be quite the contrary. I could be mixing, in the middle of a writing process that has me in a zone, doing admin work, etc —the list goes on. The work we do behind the scenes (most times on our phones) can be undervalued, however we know that’s what creates the lifeblood for us to keep creating!

I’ll put it this way, ANY TIME could be our 9 to 5.

Have any books or other resources had a big impact on you?

There have a been a few books that have opened my eyes during this journey of life and a few of the them are by the renowned author Robert Greene. These books include: 48 Laws of Power, Laws of Human Nature, and Mastery. All of which took my people watchers and introspection to another level. Along with him, Malcolm Gladwell’s Outliers allowed me tap into that inner creative to a point where fearlessness became the only option. Double Your Profits by Bob Fifer is also a great read!

As far as digital motivation, I tend to watch Earn Your Leisure, Marc the Messenger, School of Greatness With Lewis Howes, B High ATL, Amexem, Truck N’ Hustle.
