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

Beauxx, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. We’d love to hear the backstory behind a risk you’ve taken – whether big or small, walk us through what it was like and how it ultimately turned out.

For me, the risk wasn’t just about stepping into music—it was about stepping away from everything people thought I was supposed to be.

I grew up with a basketball in my hands. That was my identity. That was the dream. Everybody saw me as the hooper. Overseas ball, professional lanes… that was supposed to be the path. But life hit me different. Doors started closing. Real life started knocking—family going through things, bills stacking up, and the pressure to figure it all out hit heavy.

I had to get outside. I had to make some things shake just to survive. I wasn’t even thinking about music at the time. I didn’t grow up saying I wanted to be an artist. But one day, through all the running around, I ended up in a studio. And that studio became my peace. Because it was so much going on around me my day to day what I was into, and also just family life figuring things out. That booth became my therapy. And outta nowhere, I fell in love with it. Accidentally. But it felt like fate.

What people don’t understand is… when you pivot like that, when you shift into something new, especially something creative, people don’t take you serious. They look at you sideways “Wasn’t he just hoopin’? What’s he doing with his life” They don’t see the vision because it ain’t theirs to see. It’s yours. God gave it to you. And once I felt that confirmation in my spirit, that inner voice telling me, this is it, that was all I needed.

That leap of faith? It wasn’t safe. It wasn’t guaranteed. But it was real. And every step since then, I’ve been climbing. Risk after risk. Sometimes no money, no recognition, but I kept going. Because once you find your purpose,and you really find it, you stop asking for permission.

Life was hitting me in ways I don’t even like talking about. But music became a space where I could manifest the life I wanted, while still expressing everything I was going through. All my music comes from a real place ,real experiences, real emotions. Yeah, it’s fly, it’s smooth, it’s romantic, but it’s also honest. It’s heartbreak, it’s temptation, it’s pressure, it’s connection. I want people to hear my music and escape all the negativity that’s floating around this world… even just for a minute. Step into my world, it’s storytelling, it’s love, it’s pain, it’s reflection. And if you’ve ever been through something, I want you to feel that. I want you to find yourself in it.

And now, with everything we’ve got moving—placements on the songwriting side, working on the new project, this is my first time announcing the name of the project “Jazmine” —it’s just the beginning. We’re gaining traction, building momentum, but there’s still more to climb. Still more risks to take. I’m but I’m right where I’m supposed to be.

Beauxx, 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?

Man, my story’s not your typical “I grew up always knowing I wanted to be an artist.” I kind of stumbled into this, but once I did—it felt like everything in my life made sense. I was outside, just trying to figure things out, doing what I had to do to keep things afloat. One of the spots I ended up in had a studio in it. It wasn’t a traditional studio or anything glamorous—we’ll just say it was a creative setup in a real environment—but that night, around 4 a.m., me and my homie Don made a song. It wasn’t even that crazy of a track, but I fell in love with the process instantly. That energy, that vibe—that was it for me.

I’ve always loved music—especially R&B. That fly talk, smooth vibes, speaking to the ladies—that’s always been my lane in life. I just didn’t know it could be my purpose until I dove in. From there, I locked in. I was in the studio every day, building my sound, figuring out who I was as an artist. I kept showing up, and opportunities kept showing up with me.

At the same time, I had started being around the industry more. One of my homegirls from elementary school had ties to a label connected to Interscope, and I was just soaking everything up—being at shoots, events, studios, just watching how things move. I didn’t know where I fit, but I was open. I was down to do whatever—helping my boy as his assistant while he was shooting for them, just staying close and learning. One day, he jokingly said, “Bro, you should be a rapper. You already live like one.” And honestly, it wasn’t far off. I was always doing the fly stuff , dressing fresh, staying around beautiful women, getting to it.

Eventually, Don brought me to my first real studio. From there, I started locking in heavy We’d be in there every single day. Hundreds of songs. Some fire, some trash, some I wasn’t ready for. But I kept going. That’s when it became real. Studio became my second home. My therapy. My peace.

As things evolved, I ended up connecting with Architect Studios, with BG and the team there, and building with the 1500 or Nothin’ family. Being in those circles, around real musicians, writers, and creators—it made me elevate. It reminded me this was more than a hobby. It was a calling. Around COVID, I made the decision to go all in. I told myself this is what I’m doing—no plan B.

What separates me is my work ethic and authenticity. I never force my music on anyone—I just focus on being undeniable. I want people to connect with me, my energy, my story. My music is real—based on real relationships, real life, real emotions. It’s smooth, it’s relatable, and it takes you somewhere.

My music is about real situations, real feelings. It’s smooth, it’s fly, but it’s rooted in truth. Whether I’m singing about love, lust, heartbreak, or moments in life, it’s all authentic. I’m trying to shift the culture—to remind people that you can be a gentleman and still be tough. You can talk that fly talk and still be about your character. You can be a real one and still have depth, vulnerability, and class.

Right now, I’m working on my project Jazmine—it’s a vibe. It’s the most personal thing I’ve done, telling a story through relationships, trust, heartbreak, and reflection. And I’m also building on songwriting placements, working behind the scenes, sharpening my pen, and expanding my sound. This is just the beginning.

What I want people to know about me is that you can really do this too. Trust your instincts, trust your spirit—even if the path don’t look traditional or people don’t get it. If it feels right and things start lining up, that’s purpose. I might not be out here preaching, but through my story, my energy, my music—I’m showing you it’s possible. I make music that takes you somewhere, that speaks for you when you can’t find the words, that reminds you it’s okay to feel something real. Being true to yourself is the most powerful thing you can do.

Any resources you can share with us that might be helpful to other creatives?

Yeah, definitely. One of the biggest game-changers for me as an artist and songwriter has been diving into production—especially learning Ableton. I always knew the musicians , producers, and engineers are some of the most important people in the room, but coming into this as a songwriter first, I didn’t realize how much control and elevation comes from really understanding the production side. Now I’m learning piano, drums, and co-producing a lot of the new music I’m making—and it’s taking everything to a whole new level. I wish I tapped in earlier, but everything happens in perfect timing. Being surrounded by some of the coldest producers and musicians in the game now, it’s just a blessing. If you’re a songwriter, don’t sleep on learning production—it’ll change the way you create.

Are there any books, videos or other content that you feel have meaningfully impacted your thinking?

Yeah, definitely. First and foremost Rest in peace to Nipsey Hussle—my favorite rapper and a huge inspiration. He made it cool to be business-minded, to read, and to move with purpose. That energy led me to books like Relentless by Tim Grover, which really pushed me to develop that killer instinct and not let up. The 22 Immutable Laws of Branding and The 11 Immutable Laws of Internet Branding by Al and Laura Ries changed the way I see marketing and helped me understand how to build something people remember. The Richest Man in Babylon gave me that early foundation on how to handle money and think long-term, which is very important for independent artist and artist signed to a label, and The Game of Life and How to Play It by Florence Scovel Shinn taught me how powerful your words and mindset really are—like speaking what you want into existence. And anytime I need to reset and really lock in going on , And lastly, when I’m about to go on a 30- or 60-day run—cutting out distractions, locking in, chasing a goal—I always listen to The Strangest Secret by Earl Nightingale. It’s a sleeper, but every time something major comes from it. Every one of those books gave me something real to apply in my journey
