We recently connected with Bok Nero and have shared our conversation below.
Bok , appreciate you joining us today. Did you always know you wanted to pursue a creative or artistic career? When did you first know?
Growing up in North Philadelphia, music creative expression was my lifeline. It’ hard to believe some people fabricate life stories while I experience mine in real time.
I can share my journey and perspectives with others around the world and, in return, explore their stories too—sign me up!
My music journey began in fourth grade, when I made poems about the violence in my community.
Instead of crafting traditional stories, I chose poetry because my handwriting is weak.
This way Poems allowed me to express my feelings and my message without the clutter of sloppy writing.
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.
Hustling up my lunch money through the week and not eating at High school to pay for studio sessions is an example of my discipline dedication and the desire to be heard, sending thousands of emails. Now I realize My Understanding of how the industry works came from not knowing anyone or anything about it. Kicking on doors until one is weak enough and the person on the other side opens it due to fatigue and realizing soon the door will break if they don’t open it now lol

We’d love to hear your thoughts on NFTs. (Note: this is for education/entertainment purposes only, readers should not construe this as advice)
NFT are just scratching the surface of what’s gonna be possible in the metaverse. These movies “ready player one “ “wreck it Ralph “ etc. all preparing us for what’s gonna be reality in the next few years.
After Covid I did a metaverse show in decentraland first time ever and seen where the future of gaming and real world spending is headed . I’ve partnered with some good ppl over at…
can go on and on but let’s revisit this question in 15 months
We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
When your decision is a successful one nobody ever has a bad story about how annoying you were.
Put my pride to the side and got out there in the street to promote a song I was releasing. Yes it’s the streaming age but physically going to get downloads and presave as if your selling cds is a thing.
My song Trunk I held a cardboard sign up downtown Las Vegas to promote presaves and streams. In real time people looked at me crazy.
End result. I raised enough money and awareness to finance my own music video, got booked in Tokyo Japan for a show off that song and when I perform the song at shows it’s a crowd favorite because they watched my journey or raising the song from nothing and turning it into something
