Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Anubi Sarde. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Anubi, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Are you happy as a creative professional? Do you sometimes wonder what it would be like to work for someone else?

I’m so much more happier as an artist and I’m even more blessed to be a creative because I don’t really have to pick an avenue. I’ve tried seeing myself working a regular job and not having the goals and aspirations that I have today and for me I can’t carry that type of life for myself.

I’ve seen for other people what they have made do in regards to their failed dreams or the hope that they give up and they always tell me to never give up. Creation is truly the only thing that I actually know.

I can learn skills at jobs and how to be good at representing another business or doing the assignments that they give me when I was in school or at work, but all of that is just a mode that I switch on, I mean, creation is who I am. And creation is who we all are and in the same way life imitates art, art imitates life. I don’t make music about how much I love my job. I make music about how rooted myself in who I am as a signature to paint the art in my life.

Anubi, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

My name is Anubi Sarde and I am a singer/songwriter/performing artist. Aside from making music I also run in Alchemical Regenerative Program where I help people to align back with their original blueprint and reclaim themselves through Identity Recalibration by acting as their guide through personal reinvention and self-mastery. My role is not to be their personal teacher or someone that they can look to for all of the answers, but to help them with finding those answers within themselves through their charts, their experiences and through their life paths.

My favorite way to give back to my fans through artistry is by selling copper jewelry, and wrappings that I have woven crystals in. At one point this was how I began to really get my name out when I first started. I would travel to different states and use the money that I earned to go to other cities and states and flip that to get more inventory and more enjoyment out of whatever state I was in. All the way getting to know my supporters on a personal level without the security, paparazzi or whatever comes with being in the public eye when you reach that certain point.

What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?

There is a certain aspect in my creative journey that is certainly driving me to move forward, and that is my consistent run ins with Erykah Badu. I met her at the beginning of my career before I even became Anubi Sarde and I was just ANUB111. I was working at a gas station and one of her bodyguards told me that she was having a party and I ended up getting invited to that party. I bought my ticket and everything and I ended up getting to meet her and after that things kind of started taking off, we didn’t stay in contact. I wanted to develop myself before I got to cross paths with her again at this point I didn’t even have any music that had been recorded in the studio I just had music I’d been recording on my phone or in someone else’s home.

I got a picture with her and ended up on front page on some tabloid thanks to the photographer that was there that night. I saw her again two years later in Colorado and she recognized me. I ended up getting a free T-shirt and it was almost like déjà vu. I was standing in the exact same spot front row. Right next to all of the action, completely engulfed in it all. That was in 2025, at that time I’d just rebranded myself and finally found my footing in the type of music that I wanted to make and I really got a good grasp on the type of audience that I wanted to curate. I’ve gotten my whole wardrobe look down. I was very self established and confident in who I was as a signature and a brand and I had just deleted all of my past music and started regenerating. I’d also bought my LLC a week before and the funny thing about it is I had known about the concert months prior and I’ve completely forgot about it, then I’d gotten this idea to check the date for the concert and I realized that it was gonna be two days from then and so I quickly bought my ticket, waited outside for seven hours just like the first time and again, still not disappointed.

I believe the third time will be in a very calm atmosphere. I will have gotten a lot more of a relaxed nervous system, and I won’t have as much anxiety and overjoy that I had the first two times. I’ll be able to embrace her with just as much respect, but I’ll actually have more of myself intact to where it can be something that we both mutually enjoy as far as shared space.
She’s become a sort of gatekeeper and light post throughout my creative journey, and my wave with her isn’t a sort of idolization or a celebrity adoration, but instead it’s more of a signal in regards to my own calling because I see so much of myself in her. Even with The frequency that she portrays and how she carries herself, her style, her fashion these are all things that I’d already seen myself as even as a kid and I wasn’t allowed to embrace this side of myself and she gave me permission to be, and it’s kind of like a tangible Answer from the creator that this life, this creation, this gift it’s something that I don’t have to be ashamed of, and I can be sustained by it without having to feel like I have to hide any part of myself. Growing up in a Christian environment and a very closed off sense of understanding from those around me, listening to her music and getting to know her as a signature was very important to me and I’m very grateful for all that she’s contributed to music and society.

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?

There is this story that I heard about a group of monkeys that were in a site run by scientist, and there was bananas that were hanging from the tree. I might be getting some part of the story wrong, but I do remember the gist so try to stay with me if you can. There were bananas that were hanging from a tree and every time a monkey would try to climb the tree to get the banana, there would be sprinklers or sprayers that would spray the monkey and so that monkey would come down and he wouldn’t get banana, every time another monkey tried to go up there, the same thing would happen until eventually whenever a new monkey came in and tried to grab a banana from the tree,

The other ones would pull and yank the monkey down in fear that that monkey would get sprayed too, and that new monkey never realized why the other monkeys were so afraid to get the bananas because like it’s right there, we can eat it we can grab it. There’s really no one in here. And eventually that monkey stopped reaching for the banana.

Throughout my journey, I’ve had to realize that my gifts and my dreams are not for everyone to see and there’s some people who can see it and there’s some people who don’t want to see it. I just knew that the life that I was living was not the life that I wanted to live for the rest of my life. I wanted to get the bananas too. Haha. I’ve always tried to fit inside of circles to prove that I needed to be around people because I was so obsessed with being isolated, and the more I tried to fit into people circles the more loudly it got that I wasn’t like a lot of those people that I was trying to Get in with. And they knew that as well and they treated me as if they knew that too.

It was very difficult because being such an empath and someone who just wanted to see other people happy I had to learn that you can’t take everyone with you and I had to also learn that majority of their fear for what you believe you can accomplish stems from what someone told them they were not able to do, or the obstacles they phased finally caught up to them, and I was blessed with a lot of fire in my chart. I don’t really know how to sit down and it doesn’t make sense to me to give up because as an emo kid growing up that was all I knew how to do was to just give up, but I learned to put those childish things away.
