We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful August Bleu. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with August below.
Alright, August thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. What were some of the most unexpected problems you’ve faced in your career and how did you resolve those issues?
Well, it’s not the issues I had with business, but more of what I went through while pursuing my career as a recording artist/songwriter. I was shot 7xs and paralyzed, so that kind of slowed down the process. I was able to recover from that situation mentally, due to having an amazing support system.
August, 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 the day I saw my uncle shooting a music video for a hit single he had back in 1995, I mean I’ve always loved music, but seeing him made me want to pursue it as a career. I stayed on it, but as I started to get older I got into the “street life” & I put the music stuff to the side. In 2006 I was shot 7xs & during that time I was recovering from my injuries, I had a lot of time to think about what I really wanted to do with the rest of my life. I started taking music seriously and I started started to meet people in the industry who could help me further my career. I ended up with a management deal with someone who was working for Capitol Records at the time, I learned a lot about the business during that time. Now I’m doing everything on an independent level & I’m just having fun with being a creator! I never let my situation (being paralyzed) stop me from being as successful as I had set out to be.
We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
Being paralyzed, a lot of people counted me out, but I show them on a daily basis that I am the one to bet on! I’m a winner at heart. Before experiencing success, we have to experience failure, your success is determined by the way you handle yourself after experiencing that failure. Discipline plays a huge role in the success that I have gained.
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
It makes me feel meaningful when people reach out to tell me how much I have inspired them to chase their dreams. That’s the most rewarding part of it all!
