We recently connected with Buddy Force and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Buddy thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. I’m sure there have been days where the challenges of being an artist or creative force you to think about what it would be like to just have a regular job. When’s the last time you felt that way? Did you have any insights from the experience?
When my art brings joy to others, then I’m happy. My artistic process is super fluid, however I don’t recall happiness as a well I usually draw from. Even today, I met with a guy who’s offering me a great opportunity in his field of business, however this new position will having me working double the amount I already do. If I take the job, I won’t be able to create or pursue my creative endeavors. It’s a predicament unfortunately.
Buddy , 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?
They call me Buddy Force. It’s a name I gave myself when I started making music (rapping) at age 16. My first ever song was about a breakup and I’ve never looked back since. Since then I’ve been on the radio, opened up for Afroman, and topped over 2000 Spotify monthly listeners at one point. I’m proud of how my music makes people feel. Most of the rap that is popular to the public nowadays can get pretty negative and disrespectful so I pride myself in trying to forge a new wave that is more positive and builds up the community rather than hurt it. Being an artist basically forces you to become an entrepreneur. I’m pretty introverted so keeping up with social media and showing my face in public always feels like a chore. But that’s how life is. I’m prepared to push through and fight for my dream.
Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?
My goal has always been to monetize myself. My voice, my face, my abilities. Make myself so valuable that people pay me to be myself and do the things I want to do. I’ve seen others do it, so I know its possible.
We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?
The most important thing someone can do is stay consistent. That’s how I built my audience, over years of consistency.
