We recently connected with Gya’ The Artist and have shared our conversation below.
Gya’ , thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. We’d love to hear about when you first realized that you wanted to pursue a creative path professionally.
So I had to be all of maybe 6 years old when I went to my first Earth Wind and Fire concert. The instruments, lights, energy, it all brought this rush of life to my brain super early on. I knew at some point in life I’d be on stage making girls faint and dudes groove. It took some time but I’m grateful to say I’m here in this position after that magical day.
Gya’ , 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?
For starters I got into “the industry” independently at like maybe 20 years old. I recorded my first little freestyle in a studio on the east side of Atlanta off of glenwood road. It’s taken a little time but I’ve been able to find my voice since then. To be completely honest I’m still setting myself apart from the in crowd with various styles of vocals and melodies. I’m hoping to utilize new sounds and implement instruments that I’ve yet to be able to touch. I’m hoping I can work with the lights of a Pharrell or a Tyler the creator to be able to really explore those different paths of professionalism.
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
The best part about being able to create the visions that live in my head is they actually get to come to life in real time. I love being independent when it comes to the creative control I have.
: Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?
If I’m being honest with you guys if I can bring home my scratch from the road and put together a few super cool designs for folks every once in a while, all while still being able to make fun meaningful pieces of art while still bringing income from grander stages and better opportunities.
