Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Christian Anderson aka Trust’N. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Trust’N, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. The first dollar your business earns is always special and we’d love to hear how your brand made its first dollar of revenue.
Just from becoming a hometown celebrity under the stage name Trust’N. My first client ever was an artist in my hometown who saw the effects of the marketing I was doing for myself and asked me if I could help him get more exposure for his music too. From there my services spread like wildfire through word of mouth.
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 got into the PR & Marketing space originally as a musician myself under the stage name Trust’N. After relying of other people to market my music I realized no one was going to ride for me the way I need them to. This spurred me into taking matters into my own hands and learn how to market my own music, create a compelling narrative around my brand, and grab attention from people. I gained a lot of followers on my Instagram (trustn) after getting verified early on and going viral on social media for my music. I used that platform to network and meet more clients and connections while continuing to have success in self marketing. I founded Lost Boy Entertainment LLC from my college dorm room with my business partner Bryce. We are now a multi million dollar company and work with some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry as well as Fortune 500 companies.
What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?
I had to unlearn being worried about what other people thought of me. When I first started to put myself and my music out there I was so self conscience and so many people would make fun of me even my close friends at the time. Sad but true. When I really started to grow and take off was when I stopped caring what others thought about me and was authentic in who I am. That also is what I think made people begin to believe in me.
We’d love to hear about how you met your business partner.
I met my cofounder Bryce in high school and we became buddies and hung out in the same friend group. After not getting into my dream university Bryce and I decided to room together. It was in our freshman dorm room that we began working on our business together.
