We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Jusef Rene. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Jusef below.
Jusef , appreciate you joining us today. Did you always know you wanted to pursue a creative or artistic career? When did you first know?
I first got the singing bug when I was 7 years of age. I was out playing hide and seek running around our apartments and I heard myself truly for the first time. At this time, the passion began and I haven’t turned back. I professionally realized after being in the military and traveling so much, I realized that I wanted to do music full time. I started releasing seriously in 2009 and after noticing the reaction to my music, I decided I need to totally submerge and invest emotionally.
Jusef , 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?
I got into the industry seriously in 2009 because I wanted to not just be a creative, I also wanted to make music a business for myself. I also have my merch line and podcast “Jocin With Jusef”. I want to make music that feeds the souls of my supporters and motivate creatives who are aspiring. I created my podcast because I wanted to provide a platform for up and coming artist and thriving artists to have a voice. Most indie artist are not afforded the opportunity, so I decided to create my show to allow them to bring brand awareness. I am currently releasing a slew of singles and projects and I am excited to stay on the grind.
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
I wish I had someone to guide me on ownership and taking care of my business fully. I have learned so much the last few years and I am grateful for people working in the industry for dropping gems.
Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?
My goal is to retire from my 9 to 5 and to allow my gifts to make a complete living for me. So, I have dedicated my time and energy into learning about the music business and entrepreneurship.
