We were lucky to catch up with GBK recently and have shared our conversation below.

GBK, appreciate you joining us today. I’m sure there have been days where the challenges of being an artist or creative force you to think about what it would be like to just have a regular job. When’s the last time you felt that way? Did you have any insights from the experience?

I’m happy and blessed to be doing this. I know there’s not a lot of people who can do what I do at a young age but I always remind myself of that. On the other side though, I do think of having a “normal” job sometimes, being somebody who’s not GBK. I think about that a lot. There could be a day where GBK no longer makes music.

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.

For those of you who don’t know who I am, my name is GBK. I am a singer-songwriter-rapper and producer. I got into the music business when I released my first project, Death & Beats: Side I. It was an EP composed of beats influenced by the artists who shaped me as one myself. Afterward, I began to work and develop my sound to find the artist within myself. Being able to sing, rap, song write, produce, and create content sets me drastically apart from others in the industry who can do one, or maybe a few of these things. The biggest reason why I make music is self-expression. For a long time, I didn’t know how to express my emotions and the experiences I was going through in life until I started writing lyrics.

What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?

I keep going. If I didn’t have music, I wouldn’t be here.

What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?

Watching people comment and say to me “Wow, this is really good!” That drives me to keep going.
