We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful BEG1N. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with BEG1N below.
BEG1N, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. When did you first know you wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally?
Growing up I developed my singing chops from my dad. He used to lead a lot of songs at my home church. I wanted to emulate his dynamics as a singer. I enjoy singing as well as dancing. What made me want to become an artist was watching Usher perform. He’s been my biggest inspiration. 8701 was the first CD that my parents bought for me as a youngin.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
My name is BEG1N. I’m apart of a production team called Kingdrums Productions (KDP). My brothers Kingdrums, Allen B, and I have been working since 2023 sending demos to artists. We’re all writers and have been able to put our minds together to create amazing music. What I want people to know about our team is that we take time with our craft. We’ve worked hard to get to the position that we’re in.
What can society do to ensure an environment that’s helpful to artists and creatives?
I’m seeing people repost albums, go to concerts, and buy merchandise. The artist is promoting their brand to the masses. The best way to show love is to invest in their brand.
Looking back, are there any resources you wish you knew about earlier in your creative journey?
I wish I knew earlier about publishing deals. Songwriters play such a pivotal part in creating an artists sound. They should be compensated. Another thing is artist development. What the do’s and don’t s are of being an artist. Thirdly writing camps. Learning from other writers the fundamentals of songwriting.
