We were lucky to catch up with Chris “CPANDFEELS” Pitts recently and have shared our conversation below.

Chris “CPANDFEELS”, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Let’s start with a story that highlights an important way in which your brand diverges from the industry standard.

I do not consider myself to be a poet. I started writing poetry as an outlet. I did not have a healthy way of expressing myself and leaned on poetry when I needed it the most. As men, we’re almost not allowed to show emotions. So if anything, I want to be labeled as any other person who did not know what to do with his emotions and found a healthy outlet. I do not want people thinking I’m above anything or different from the next man. Writing is therapy.

Chris “CPANDFEELS”, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I use words to express my feelings in all mediums. So this means I write poetry, I write songs, I write curated pieces for people and causes. My mission is to make you feel something, and show that there’s a healthy way to express yourself. You don’t really have to be the most poetically inclined, just apply yourself. I pride myself on writing things that are not too complex, I want everyone to get it.

Any resources you can share with us that might be helpful to other creatives?

I wish I performed more when I first started writing in college. It would have gave me more confidence, and it would have proved to myself this is what I like to do. So if you’re ever on the fence about something, just do it.

What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?

I take every opportunity to give 100% whether thats me performing at a birthday, or at a gala. I take it seriously, the best thing I can get is a referral and you never know where that may come from.
