We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful 7star. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with 7Star below.

Hi 7Star, thanks for joining us today. How did you learn to do what you do? Knowing what you know now, what could you have done to speed up your learning process? What skills do you think were most essential? What obstacles stood in the way of learning more?

I learned a lot of musical, creative, and artistic skills from my father, like counts, beats, and rhythm. From then on, I worked with as many artists, producers, and musicians as possible to gather different perspectives and see what artistry is about. Interestingly, to speed up my process, I realized I needed a stable, full-time income to support my music and truly invest in myself. Also, I realized the importance of a team to build a foundation, recognizing that although I am very independent, I couldn’t do everything on my own. An essential skill is to be resilient. Making art is a challenge that requires artistic skill, but also an introspective mindset, discipline, and self-belief. An obstacle that really challenged me was being isolated; once I found a community of similar women who are entrepreneurial and in the creative field, that really helped me to push forward.

7Star, 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 got into music somewhat on a whim, when someone sent me a song and I just went for it. It was a risk for me to take because I had never done it before or considered music, but once I started, I couldn’t stop. Being committed to my craft has kept me going, even when I think about quitting, I know that I will pursue this career. In the last four years, I’ve grown so much in self-love and as an artist.

How can we best help foster a strong, supportive environment for artists and creatives?

In different social circles, society normalizes a lot of judgement of artistic endeavors, rather than being supportive. I think we should uplift our artists and provide resources, especially for women in the music industry. At the same time, being real and genuine about the quality of someone’s work is important, too, and recognizing someone’s growth, no matter their prestige or lack of status. Highlighting people who are intentional, hard-working, and work day in and day out is necessary to help create a thriving creative ecosystem.

For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?

The community aspect is so important for me and receiving authentic compliments, feedback, and verbal validation is so rewarding as well. The communication and connection with my community is what motivates me, keeping a conversation going between myself and my fans. Further, my work is rewarding when I am able to provide for my family. Personally, completing projects is also monumental.
