We recently connected with Kerry Gross and have shared our conversation below.
Kerry, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Do you feel you or your work has ever been misunderstood or mischaracterized? If so, tell us the story and how/why it happened and if there are any interesting learnings or insights you took from the experience?
My work has been seen as negative when I’m just a story teller providing visual of my daily life or lifestyles around me ..I want to be seen for the positive work which is providing counseling for the youth and trouble the incarcerated felons who lost hope of change I provide the necessary steps to climb out of them situations .
Kerry, 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’m a artist from Kansas City I came up writing and performing music at local shows providing consistent visuals and products .I always wanted to do music cause of chuck berry he was my cousin and I always wanted to create new sounds .I own No Time Wasted Llc. Which is a clothing line I’m launching this year Im a ambassador at hustler dream which is a company started by my partner Monnie Montana and Tommy goodfella .Im launching my own brand and Label T.R.F this year (The Real Family) which is family members and close friends I deemed loyal and trust worthy thru my path for success.
Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?
Well I was challenged several times I got a new jaw was jumped at a bar and shot in the face I was facing a life sentence and kept faith thru adversity. I keep going when it’ seems like there is no hope I find that tiny seed and go harder rather it’s working on my delivery flow writing or breathing and work outs. I’m 33 and people say it’s to old to be a rapper are a artist but I maintain the passion because I actually love expressing myself thru music
