Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Kashaveli. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Kashaveli, appreciate you joining us today. Are you happier as a creative? Do you sometimes think about what it would be like to just have a regular job? Can you talk to us about how you think through these emotions?
I’m love being an artist. Pursuing my career as an artist really began while I was in college. College is often seen as the place where you’re supposed to find a “good job,” but for me, it became clear that success could mean something different. After graduating, I realized that leverage was key. I put a lot of time and energy into perfecting my craft as an artist, but at the same time, I was also building a strong foundation in the corporate business world. In my story, the two paths worked hand in hand. A well-paying job in my field gave me the financial stability to fund my growth and success as an artist. There have definitely been ups and downs—both creatively and in life—but I’ve found that having both sides, the practical and the creative, has made the journey more sustainable and fulfilling.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I’m a musical artist and musician whose journey began with playing instruments and eventually I evolved into rapping. My life experiences and expressive thoughts fuel everything I make. I call my style “Speed Music” and it’s all about creating songs that match your life experiences and mood, whether it’s good, bad, or somewhere in between. I want to give listeners a soundtrack for whatever they’re going through, so there’s always a song of mine they can connect with. I’m incredibly proud of how far I’ve come and even more excited about where I’m headed. One of my proudest accomplishments so far is my festival, Speedfest—an unforgettable experience that’s only growing bigger and better. Stay tuned for the next one!
