We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful David Tubbs. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with David below.
David, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. When did you first know you wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally?
The first time I knew I wanted to pursue my creative/ artistic path professionally when I was working for FEDEX GROUND I had like ten more stops all of that came to a STOP. I had pick up a little box as I was picking up the box I had a sharp pain in my shoulder it stopped me I had to at least wait like 2 hours to get back to work. As I was sitting down trying to get myself together I told God this is it I’m going to focus on acting noting else. Once I had finish my route I went straight to the hospital the Doctor said I don’t want you to work. I went home woke up with my left arm hard as a stone. This is what made me more focus on acting. Long story short I didn’t go back to work two weeks ahead I had got a commercial gig with ford and T-Mobile.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
My name is David Tubbs born on October 31, 1990 in small town called Youngstown in Ohio. I grow up in PGC Maryland graduated from Suitland High school in 2010. Every since I was young I was always running away from acting until one day my pastor pulled me to the side in asked me to be apart of his played from their I was addicted to acting. Later that same year I got a big role on the movie called Lincoln directed by Steven Spielberg. After that I took a break for a while focusing on riding horses, going up and down the east coast to different trail rides! I didn’t get back into acting until one day while I was delivering packages for FedEx Ground I certain had a sharp pain in my shoulder which stopped me right in my tracks had to sit down forgot to hours coming to find out that I bruised my rotator cuff. So the doctor order me not to work. Two weeks come pass I was email with a commercial for T- Mobile and for Ford. From there on I’ve been doing small gigs leading up today. Now let me tell you a story change my life . Last year on June 15, 2022 I almost died I was diagnosed with a rare brain disease Chiari Malformation. Doing that time I was getting really to audition for several movies but I had to stop do the my health. December 12.2022 I had my Brain Surgery now I’m doing way better now but still recover.
Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?
My mission that drives me everyday is to keep networking, DM people that can help you along your journey they not reach back at you right thing but they will!

We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?
The way I built my audience on social media is that I had to clean up my IG first. By doing this you must keep your personal things of.f Its like your social media is your resume for what ever career your interested in. One time I had all horse related and bull riding so once I made a decision that I was on the series on acting I had to let that go in order to attract the right people that’s acting.
