We were lucky to catch up with Laquincy Littleton recently and have shared our conversation below.
Laquincy, appreciate you joining us today. Can you tell us about an important lesson you learned while working at a prior job?
Being able to compartmentalise your priorities in your life because emotions and daily situations can detour you from reaching a goal and accomplishing your set out task also friends family and significant others can hinder you if you don’t put things in perspective and move off logic vs feelings
Laquincy, 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?
Well it all started with a thought to do it and then one day I just acted on it without necessarily knowing it all or my direction I was going i kinda figured it out as I went along I’m a firm believer in making mistakes brings you wisdom because you obtain experience so without little to no knowledge I dove str8 into music as a rapper and producer and then later got into videography
What sets me apart from others is im not in it just for money im into it for the art and I’m satisfied when the client is satisfied i love to see people’s vision come to life that moment is priceless
I’m most proud of my consistency diligence and discipline in what I do and bringing peoples vision to life and I strive my best to do so like I said money is not the main goal cause I love what I do but obviously I have to pay my bills but I love to work with passionate people who are into there craft that makes better for a better outcome in any project I’m presented with the money will come regardless I’m more interested in the art
We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
I have two stories one dealing with me as a rapper and the second one dealing with me as a videographer
So I remember opening up for nipsey hussle in San Diego when he first announced he was dropping mailbox money mixtape and we caught a flat on the freeway I was flat broke but somehow I was able to get it fixed just in time to make it on stage mind you we were far from the destination and we’re on a time limit
Now the second incident I was booked to film a videoshoot in Compton and my camera monitor went out but luckily I had a back up external monitor but I ended up losing the charger for the external monitor mind you i live two hours away from Compton and I barely recognised the charger was missing so at the last min I went and bought a mini generator and wore a backpack with the generator the whole day with my monitor plugged up just to get the job done
How did you build your audience on social media?
I don’t necessarily have a story but I literally just posted consistently and creatively to make sure I stand out but I posted very frequently as well and also I always interact online as well as in public because interaction in public although we live in a social media world some things never change like in person interaction it’s easier to make a lifetime impression on someone versus online
