We were lucky to catch up with ImJustDane recently and have shared our conversation below.
ImJustDane, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Can you open up about a risk you’ve taken – what it was like taking that risk, why you took the risk and how it turned out?
The biggest risk I’ve taken in life has to do with who I am today. Everyone knows music is not an easy path to undertake and it’s very competitive. I took the risk to go out on my own and become a household name in the music industry. For a long time I have been creating music and performing shows at the behest of different venues and talent agencies. Still, this industry is full of ebbs and flows because the game is always changing. If you don’t adapt you parish. The reason this is the biggest risk I’ve taken is because it requires so much focus, consistency and time. Which in turn takes time away from the ones I love. My significant other, my children, my friends. It’s fulfilling yes, but also draining and a lot of times I’ve wanted to give up on it just cause I haven’t had that perfect opportunity and a bit of luck. We all know that as the moment before you blow up. I haven’t given up luckily because I would be filled with regret if I did before my moment comes. It’s definitely the biggest risk I’ve ever taken in my life cause even now I don’t know how it will pan out.
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?
Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?
My ultimate goal is get to a point of making a full time living from my creative endeavors but for now I will make what I can and pursue my dream until I cannot.
What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?
Trust is earned not given. Time after time I’ve lost friends who I thought were friends but ended wanting to see me in a worse position than them. That’s why I say trust is earned not given because at this point in my life all I want around me are genuine people who make their intentions known.
