We recently connected with Carl Da Creator and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Carl Da, thanks for joining us today. Are you happy as a creative professional? Do you sometimes wonder what it would be like to work for someone else?

As an artist and a creative, I’m happiest simply being myself. I’ve worked a lot of jobs that society would deem “suitable,” and from firsthand experience, I know they lack any deeper purpose. There was even a time I got fired from Subway because, apparently, I wasn’t making the sandwiches “right.” It sounds silly now, but in that moment, it hit me—how much energy I was giving to something that didn’t reflect my true self.

In this world, you’re going to have to put in work no matter what, so why not put in that effort for something that truly serves your spirit? Why invest in systems, institutions, or roles that don’t care about who you are or what you bring to the table? Every step I take on this creative path feels like I’m moving closer to the finish line, closer to who I’m meant to be. So, for me, there’s no turning back. I cherish every second of this journey, and it’s only forward from here.

Carl Da, 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?

The process of bringing my vision to life has always felt like placing one foot in front of the other. I started nearly a decade ago, and once I got the first idea off the ground, the rest followed naturally. Since then, I’ve been fortunate to explore an array of creative expressions—from music production to video direction, painting, sculpture, photography, and more. Each project builds upon the last, bringing me closer to my full creative potential.

In addition to my art, I also run a street clothing brand called “Spiritual War Veteran,” which is available on my site www.carldacreator.art. This brand carries a powerful message of unity—socially, religiously, and spiritually—expressing the idea that all principles can come together under one cohesive vision.

What sets me apart is my dedication to exploring different mediums, always pushing the boundaries of my art to create something new, something meaningful. I want my clients and followers to see that my work is a reflection of that journey—a continuous evolution, rooted in purpose and passion. What I’m most proud of is this ability to create from so many different perspectives, offering something that resonates on multiple levels.

Can you share your view on NFTs? (Note: this is for education/entertainment purposes only, readers should not construe this as advice)

I love NFTs. In fact, I’m the creator of the first non-animated NFT TV show, which is something I’m really proud of. You can check it out on my YouTube channel or on OpenSea by searching for “Da Shyt Show” or “Da Shyt Coin.” NFTs have opened up a whole new world for creators like me, allowing us to not only showcase our work but also offer something unique and interactive for our audiences. It’s a game changer in terms of how art and media are shared and valued.

How can we best help foster a strong, supportive environment for artists and creatives?

To truly support artists and foster a thriving creative ecosystem, society needs to encourage expression on a larger scale. It’s important to hold space for different points of view and genuinely listen to what artists are saying through their work. Encouraging more creatives to step forward is key, because it’s a privilege to be invited into an artist’s world—their mind, their experiences, their vision.

We need to respect that invitation and everything that comes with it. By embracing creativity, we allow more diverse voices to emerge, creating a richer cultural landscape for everyone.
