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

Keller, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today We’d love to hear about a project that you’ve worked on that’s meant a lot to you.

The most meaningful project I have done was a collection of music that I had written that was inspired by Lawrence T Brown’s book “Black Butterfly”. This music was supposed to highlight the struggles of the effects of redlining, racial segregation, the highway to nowhere project in Baltimore, and other related issues. Curating this music was a challenge to me because I’ve always had an insecurity about my musical composition, so this was the first time I felt like I was putting myself out there in a very exposed way. The response from the performance was incredible and I look to take that feedback I received and record this music with some of my local hero’s in Baltimore.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

I would not be where I am today if it wasn’t for my twin sister, who wanted to play an instrument and dragged me along to the instrument petting zoo. From that night on I fell in love with the trumpet. Almost 11 years ago, I still look back on that moment being the Turing point of my life. Through peers, teachers, heroes, mentors, icons, etc, I have had a sincere appreciation for this career path, and also a motivation to continue the legacy.

What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?

The most rewarding aspect of being a creative is the ability to collaborate with others. For me personally, whenever I get the chance to create with another person, it opens a whole new door of opportunities, which will then expand and broaden your creative limits.

Are there any books, videos, essays or other resources that have significantly impacted your management and entrepreneurial thinking and philosophy?

The War of Art. This book is amazing, it teaches you the basics of discipline, but also relates it to art so it can seem more digestible for me. However the principles mentioned in the book are not limited to art!
