We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Candice Taylor . We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Candice below.
Candice , thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Can you open up about a risk you’ve taken – what it was like taking that risk, why you took the risk and how it turned out?
Let’s be very clear in the early ’90s when I quit a high-paying corporate job to run off into the Arts as a single black female in the State of Texas, Dallas at that. Risk more like suicide lol. However, I somehow made my lane by staying quiet and learning every bit of art buzz words, and most of all listening. Instead of wanting to be known I championed the artist and became fast friends with so many fine artists. My life changed overnight instead of boring corporate dinners I was thrown into extravagant Avante gard events and soon a model in a part of the regalia. Whisked around the globe with beauty, bucks, brains athletes, and rock stars. Those connections I still nurture to this very day. They are my generational clientele. Plant your seeds well it may take a decade or so for them to bloom but oh when they Bloom it’s glorious rewards.
Candice , 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 art/music/fashion/entertainment by birthright. My Father was a prodigy pianist and artist. My Mother was a stickler on the Arts and Culture along with literature and manners so I came by it naturally. If i had any free time to create my own Paintings they are Bold abstract pieces bursting with emotion and color. My team and i make art buying with digital nft’s in music and art minting + buying a seamless process.
Charting the unknown fintech world is a bit overwhelming I feel it’s our duty as artist to learn so we can teach others how to treat us. What sets me apart from others is I am 1000 percent real and authentic. I came prepared.
I am currently extremely proud of some projects we are currently working on in Music with @RedsoundMusicGroup @Redtherockstar and the @MMMFestival with @thethingsofficial with our amazing roster of Public Arts & Festival Art, Exhibitions, Sponsorships and Branding digital Nft art client’s such as Laura Kimptom Sculptor and Visual Artist, Samuel Hagai muralist and fine artist, Janice Freeman Studio Art, Greg Constable Grafitti Artist. I also have taken on the first black woman allowed to grow multi-crops in state of New York. Nicole Ndiaye has really trailblazed her own lane in cannibas and hemp by owning and operating 12 grow farms in Upstate NY. @nahefarms a family owned and operated llc is on a fast track to extreme success. Our Actress Comedian Alexis Miranda @lexthegawd is soon to premiere her #BLAQAlicecomedyseries @lexthegawd. While our trendsetter style-maker hair artist @iamshirlenaallen continues to elevate the hair industry. Last but not the least, We are launching our non-profit #BlackMonaLisa in 2022 focusing on reversing the systematic oppression of brown women and girls globally! Along with painting my own abstract fine art collection, I can honestly say God has made room for all of my gifts. Grateful is an understatement.
We’d love to hear your thoughts on NFTs. (Note: this is for education/entertainment purposes only, readers should not construe this as advice)
I believe that Bitcon and Cryptocoin were created to save the banks. NFT’s are created to save the #CULTURE and it’s working. The greatest transfer of wealth in our nations history.
What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?
I had to learn that everything that was taught to me in school books and history was a lie. I had to learn to trust my intelligence. I had to learn that money does grow on trees and that it’s not hard to make a dollar. I had to believe that I was the table and not just sitting at it. Imposter Syndrome is real and we must obliterate it.
