We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Bryson Green. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Bryson below.
Bryson, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. When did you first know you wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally?
I grew up in a family church playing the drums. There would be these moments when the religious songs would crescendo and everybody in the church would seem to be in a trans, powerfully affected by what was being sung and played. You could smell the fried chicken cooking in the kitchen of the church, you could feel the heat rising from the floorboards, you could feel a spirit in the room. I always thought to myself, if I could make people feel like that with my music – transport them to a different place and time, then I would. I’ve spent my whole life trying to recreate that feeling, give people that moment. That’s why I make the kind of music that I do, music with a particular purpose, a distinct feeling. Bob Marley was adamant about weaving these elements and themes into his music, and I am too. I try to put a little peace of that spirit, that church, that moment, in all of the things I create.
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
I’ve been a musician all of my life. I started playing drums in the church and that spawned a love for instrumentation and production that would act as a springboard for my career. My creativity has always been a reflection of my life; my name is Bryson Green, my stage name is B Green – I don’t have anything to hide. I always figured if I could find a way to tell my story in as riveting a way as possible, people would connect with it because of who and what I am. I’m a young man from a small city with big dreams, performing alchemy turning the things I’ve been given into treasures for the world. There’s a little alchemist in all of us. I’m as proficient at the guitar as I am at rapping, as good at producing as I am at writing, so I really get to steer my creative ship in whichever direction I desire. I’m currently developing a show about young real estate entrepreneurs in Atlanta that I’m really excited about. In addition to that I’ve been working with some artists and musicians that are phenomenal and I can’t wait for the world to hear what we’ve created. I typically play everything close to the vest, so you’ll just have to wait and see or hear the final product when it’s ready!
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
Being a producer I hold the reigns regarding where my sound goes. The more you discover yourself, the more you forge your own path. There’s a particular feeling I get when I make a production, a score or a song that sounds and feels completely authentic and genius. It’s akin to shooting a shot and upon releasing it, you know it’s going in. There;s a certain rhythm that comes from my creative flow that makes me feel at peace within, and connected to everything in this wide world. When people respond positively to something you created out of love, you receive love as a result of giving love – it’s a beautiful circle of life. There’s no feeling like ripping a guitar solo for expectant listeners, or performing a song and hearing the soft echoes of the crowd performing it along with you. Granted, there seem to be many days that are unabashedly unrewarding in the pursuit of a creative dream – but there a times, few and far between, where everything aligns perfectly like an eclipse to make it all worthwhile.
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
I want to make people happy, make them smile. I want to make people feel something, heal something. Maya Angelou said “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel” – and it’s the feeling I’m in pursuit of. I can’t say why I like or love some of the things I do for any other reason than they illicit a particular response that I’m favorable to. I want to make people feel the same way I feel when I sit in front of a plate of my mother’s spaghetti, or when the Dallas Cowboys win a playoff game or when that girl I’ve been thinking about incessantly let’s me know she’s been thinking of me too. I want to give outcasts a place to roam, I want to give dreams to the restless, I want to touch people – simply put.
I want to enrich my family and my community. I want to help reinvent neighborhoods and build schools and bolster ideas. I want to live through my works, and I want my works to live forever.
