We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful KINGRIQUOSUAVE. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with KINGRIQUOSUAVE below.
Hi KINGRIQUOSUAVE, thanks for joining us today. Can you share a story about the kindest thing someone has done for you and why it mattered so much or was so meaningful to you?
How Ironic that you ask that question because I speak fluent kindness, an ancient language that I think is lost & the world should impose as the universal language. The Kindest thing anyone has ever done for me is actually the opposite. It was very kind for those people in my past who wasn’t so kind to me to do what they did. The reason why I perceive that to be the kindest thing anyone has ever done is because it’s those people who have pushed me to pursue the path that I’m on now. No one has ever pushed me that hard to go this hard for what I stand for. I have a video on my Instagram where I speak about how a baby will perceive you are being rude because you popped their hand before they’ve touched a hot stove. To the baby, slapping their hand may have seemed pretty rude but in all reality there’s really no way on how you can get your point across to a baby who is innocently ignorant. The baby won’t understand why you did what you did until it experiences the pain inflicted upon its body. Therefor I take that example into account when it comes down to perceiving how people treated me in my opinion as to what I thought was rude. They unintentionally taught me how to be kind to self just like how a parent would a baby. I now understand that some people are a hot stove that I should just stay away from. I’ve got popped plenty of times before touching the stove and I’ve finally learned the lesson to not touch the stove after I found out why I wasn’t supposed to touch it. I take their rudeness as kindness just like in the example I mentioned. They have extremely pushed me to be Kind to self-first then others and the others that I’m kind to just so happen to be the people I choose and want to be around. That is why I consider the people in my past who I thought was rude in my opinion to be the ones who have ever done the kindest thing for me. They taught me the lesson to always be kind to self-first. Without them my company Kindness Discretion Advised wouldn’t have come into existence. I wouldn’t be where I’m at today with the drive and passion that I have now without those people in my past who were rude to me. It was exactly that, that has led me to knowing what kind is. Experiencing how I allowed others to treat me lead me to the conclusion that, that was the kindest thing anyone has ever done for me in the perspective that they pushed me to live out my dream unintentionally.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers
Well, I go by KINGRIQUOSUAVE, it’s all one word. When I meet people and introduce myself as KINGRIQUOSUAVE, they end up calling me Riquo. My names not Riquo so I’m not sure where people are getting that from, I want to point that out because people ask me all the time who am I, or what’s my name and I find it disrespectful that people take it upon themselves to call me Riquo, I’m not Riquo I’m KINGRIQUOSUAVE. People always butchered my government name when I was younger, and I never corrected anybody, and my mom always got on to me about that so here I am doing just that. I’m the #1 Trap Inspirer just out here slangin’ that kindness on the block. As a child I always loved to draw, I’m a naturally born artist, art is my true passion. I love art. Thats how I got into the industry of editing, realizing I have a very talented artistic gift. I found myself not being able to work my way up the ladder in other people’s company, so I decided to start my own and because of that Kindness Discretion Advised was born this year. I’m a very hard working and intelligent person so to me it didn’t make sense why I wasn’t able to climb the chain in other people’s companies. If someone else can do it, I can to, we are all humans, anything is possible. So, I set my self out on a mission to be at the top instead of the bottom of the company, why grind to climb someone else’s chain when you can grind to create your own chain. The chain I’m building is a chain of belief; all it takes is one person and that one person starts with you. Kindness Discretion Advised is a company aimed to help spread Kindness, that is essentially what the foundation of my company is built upon. We are more than just a company. Kindness Discretion Advised is a movement, a code of ethics and morals I believe we should live by, being Kind to one another. It’s a lot scarier in the world we live in today and I just want to help make the world a better place in whatever way I can. I entered the media industry because I’m seeing alot of unkind things going on in the world lately and I want to document my journey on what I’m doing about it. Just imagine how much kinder the world can turn out to be if Kindness Discretion Advised was already a global company putting out constant reminders to be kind thru products and services. When you think of Nike more than likely you think of just do it, so one thing I want people to understand is when you see Kindness Discretion Advised although that’s pretty self-explanatory, I want people to remember to be kind. I’m stamping the world with kindness as much as I possibly can. I’m a kindness enthusiast and I will do whatever it takes no matter the cost to be able to spread that, that’s why I say Kindness Cost. Take for example Jesus Christ who died on the cross for people’s sin. Jesus was kind and he was the one who paid the price. So when I speak on how kindness cost, there’s two examples of why someone has to pay the price. Same with my business, kindness cost so I thought to start my business based off that ideology and in order for me to go out and do more kind things. We just released kindness gear for all my kindness slangers out here in the world if they choose to participate in the movement. When you shop with my company, whether it may be a service or product you’re paying the price of being kind. I want to use money as a tool to help others, Kindness Discretion Advised is a company designed to help aid those who feel the need for expansion and visual representation, we are a film production company. The services we provide are videography, photography, editing for both fields, and marketing. Being creative is definitely a skill, to me it’s very easy but you’d be surprised at how many people need help with that. We provide raw visual creativity in a professional way. Be on the lookout for more kind products coming as we aim to expand our stamp onto products to make this world a better place by constantly reminding people to be kind.
Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?
Yes definitely, my son who I don’t get to see, a very complex situation, has been my main motivation, goal, and drive for my journey. Kindness Discretion Advised. It’s my goal to have him back in my arms one day and for him to not grow up without a father. I make visuals, I’m a visionist, and my vision one day is to have my son back in my life so in order to do that, I want to help other people’s vision come true so that mine can. My son is my main priority which is why I took it upon myself to make other people’s vision my priority. I strongly believe other people’s vision can help my vision come true. That’s why this company is so meaningful to me, I don’t have time to play with other people’s vision otherwise I’d just be pushing my own self back. If you want someone serious about business, I’m definitely your guy. I put 110 percent into making sure my clients are satisfied and happy with the work I present to them because I’d be one step closer to getting my baby boy back in my life. When I say I want my son back in my arms I simply mean that. I would like to share the beautiful gift me and his mother created. I’m not out here trying to take my son away from his mother, we had him together so we should share him and work together to bring him the best life we can given the situation we created for him. He shouldn’t have to suffer the loss of a parent because we aren’t together.
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
The fact that I didn’t know that what I created, has been created, and was instilled in me this whole time. I’m always talking about unlocking my full potential and that’s what it feels like every time I’ve accomplished something in my industry. I feel like I’ve unlocked something about myself as if I was in a game. Every time I create something new, I aim for it to be better than what I previously did and the feeling I get when I’ve created something new, I can’t even explain in words. I get this big burst of joy within my body looking at it in awe. Sometimes I can’t believe I’m the one who said what was said or did what I did. Most times the only way I can express how it makes me feel is thru the emotions I display to others. As an artist there’s no limitation to being creative, if anything as artist you can only level up. That’s all I’m trying to do every day is just unlock my full potential and level up my skills.
