We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful King Brandon Smith. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with King Brandon below.
Hi King Brandon , thanks for joining us today. Did you always know you wanted to pursue a creative or artistic career? When did you first know?
The first time I knew I wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally was when I began to have an even greater sense of enjoyment in making those around me smile whether it was a vibe with one another, or them seeing a visual in what they’re seeing based on me recording it from an iPhone 5 and speaking my mind throughout middle school in 2013. Those same individuals told me to keep going because my talent is one of a kind and different.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

Is there something you think non-creatives will struggle to understand about your journey as a creative? Maybe you can provide some insight – you never know who might benefit from the enlightenment.
As the older I become older, I begin to realize, that a person who is not creative will not understand a true creative artist on a deeper level yet connect whether it’s in a relationship or in general unless the bond is different from the start. Being Creative takes isolation, regrouping, understanding, timing, and yet patience. How can you expect a creative to do their best work if you can’t even challenge their creativity or inspire them as a partner? The best way to have a better understanding of each other, especially towards a creative is to be their number #1 support system. Despite if creators already have it figured out. It’s always good to surround yourself with people who only uplift you instead of draining you down. Challenge their drive, inspire their love of art, and yet again work as a collective together. This is King Brandon Smith’s story and he’s only thrilled to share his one-of-a-kind journey even more as he continues to grow as an individual.
