We were lucky to catch up with Liberated Sound recently and have shared our conversation below.

Liberated, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Are you happy as a creative professional? Do you sometimes wonder what it would be like to work for someone else?

Absolutely! However, throughout my journey, I’ve always had to work because I never made a lot of money off of what I do. But because I’m a rapper, I’ve always have had to work jobs that worked around my musical pursuits. Whether it be traveling or rapping somewhere on the weekends, I’ve always had to pick jobs that would allow me to travel when needed. As a result, I’ve had many jobs.

I do wonder what I’d be doing if I didn’t rap. Would I be an HVAC technician, a software engineer, etc. I’ve dedicated a lot of my time into my craft, and I’m stilling praying I could find a balance and get into something I’m really passionate about incase things don’t work out for me.

I’ve always had trouble sticking with a normal job because I haven’t found anything I’m passionate about. I would find myself looking at other people at work and think to myself “Man, this person is really serious about their job”. I find that a lot of people place their identity in their job but I have never wanted to identify myself solely by my job. I would like to add, there is nothing wrong with that, and if you’re truly happy that’s all that matters. I’m not trying to insult everyday hard working people. They have my utmost respect. But I was always torn between my desire to express my creativity/ministry and the demands of a full-time job that consumed a significant amount of my time. And don’t get me wrong, I believe in working because my family needs to be fed and sheltered. But I’ve always had these internal conflicts within me while working an everyday job.

But to put a final answer to this question, I find myself more happier when I am able to allocate time to be creative and to do what I am called to do. But I’ve learned there needs to be a balance and a level of contentment in any season of my life. Everything is on God’s time.

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

My name is Isaac Chavez and I go by the name “Liberated Sound”, I’m a rapper that lifts up the name of Jesus. I share my journey of faith and life throughout my music. By no means, am I best the rapper ever, but I love what I do. My goal is to inspire others and bring hope with my music and testimony.

I first picked up the mic and rapped my first verse when I was 8 years old. It was a song my dad wrote for my brother and I called “Holy Ghost Kids”. He was a Christian Rapper in the 90s and he would travel to a lot of churches and rap. So for as long as I could remember, music has always been a part of my life.

It wasn’t until I was 13 years old when I really decided that this is what I wanted to do. I started a rap group with my brother, cousin, and some friends in 2007. So that’s when I found myself growing and really having a passion for music and writing.

Aside from music, my wife and I just recently started a podcast named “More Than a Minute Podcast”. So I am officially in the podcast arena. We are currently on YouTube and talk about our faith, marriage, and stories. We also love to bring on guest to share their insights and stories as well.

Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?

That no one wants to hear what I have to say. Thinking that I couldn’t have a voice because I was going to be faced with rejection. So I had to learn confidence and to put myself out there more. And when I did, I realized that God gave me a voice and there are people who are willing to listen. So I gained confidence knowing I am a child of God and that he is with me always, So no matter where I go, I can speak boldly because he is with me.

Any resources you can share with us that might be helpful to other creatives?

This is not really a resource, but in a way it can be. But I would say the importance of being consistent. I’m realizing more the power of consistency. I like this quote “Consistency over time beats intensity in the short term.” So stop waiting and start working. There are times when our efforts feel in vain, but if you keep being consistent, your material will eventually hit the right audience. Keep sewing seeds and watering them, eventually you’ll have yourself a garden. Trust God, pray hard, and keep working.
