We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Malcolm Sharkey. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Malcolm below.

Malcolm, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Did you always know you wanted to pursue a creative or artistic career? When did you first know?

I knew between the age of about 13-14 I wanted to be a creative. Be an artist and take the path of pursuing greatness in the creative artist field professionally. I originally started out wanting to be a big movie star actor. I wanted to play in movies with some of the top beautiful and incredible actresses. Such as Beyoncé , Angelina , Lisa Ray and many others whom movies I enjoy. I began to watch so many movies to learn them all. So that when a day come I would not only have the knowledge, but know all the best actors and actresses in movies and more. Who I wanted to learn from, so whenever I got the chance I would put my all into being able to co-star or just film in the production with them. I have been focused on it since I was about 13-14 when I knew exactly I wanted to be a creative artist, model, actor and more.

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

A little about me is that my true and only goal in life is to be the best person I can be in life. My second portion to that goal is to be that, while doing what I love. I have always wanted to be a big movie star, model , tattoo artists and just an overall incredible creative artist. I’ve suffered at the hands of many evil people with friendly faces. The discipline required for pursuing this path is never giving up, nor allow anyone to take the power you have to excel in what you do. Always remember to be wise , but remain humble. Discipline is priority, right along focus to gain your full potential.
What sets me apart from most is not only my unique features but my positive energy, positive mindset, my inspiring thoughts and words that keeps not only myself going, but hoping to encourage others to keep going and staying focused as well. My superpower is the encouragement, calming and positive impact on others that my aura of energy has on people:

I’m most proud of sticking with my creative field even though there were a bit strict. They always said you may get 1000 no’s before you get 1 yes that will change your life. I’m proud of remaining humble and yet able to create so much in a world of creatives who love who I am. The person you become as you grow in success can determine your relationship with others. I always want to be that good person. This is what I am most proud of. My will to be a good person and remaining consistent.

I would like my family, friends, followers, supporters to know about myself or my brand as a model, actor and more. The fame or attention does not amaze me or alter me. The support from you all is what builds and fuels me to keep going. As a creative model, actor I love to use my creativity to create photoshoots like never before. As a artist I want to create an image that says more than any caption can ever sum up in a few words. As a model, I focus on high fashion runway, catalog, online promotional ads and more. As a brand presenting myself, I want to represent and display my self in the most professional, kind, ambitious, respectful way possible. When I’m on set filming or a photoshoot I don’t want to be told how talented I am. I want to be remembered by how talented and a good person I am.

I’ve suffered and worked very hard to make a name for myself as a creative artist. I’ve learned and crafted my ways to become great in the fields I have a deep passion for in life. I support anyone who wants to model or be an actor. I hope you take that deep breath and hold your head high. Just walk out that door and take the first step into what you love.

How did you build your audience on social media?

When I first started out on social media. I had to learn all the tools of how to grow your presence. When I got more into the networking events for creatives and models and so much more. I began to learn that sitting at home takes much longer to build your online presence. I went to every networking event and more just to allow myself to meet these creatives and business owners and more. I wanted them not to see how talented I was at being a model or creative. I wanted them to actually know my mindset, aura , the way I talk, move and such. So they would then understand who they were working with and not only what they see on social media. This allowed people to wanna connect with me on social media , therefore building my presence with genuine and real people who enjoyed my work as a creative artist. The more and better you’re remembered, the more likely your social media presence will grow tremendously. Always remain consistent in all that you do, that’s only if you love what you do.

It’s not always about what you post, but how you post it. Each form and perspective of how you post things on social media. It can play a big role in your social media growth. What I mean is being versatile, respectful and enlightening among many other views you can share things to the world.

For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?

I would say the most rewarding thing about being a creative artist is the opportunity. The opportunity to make new friends. The opportunity to make some money. The opportunity to have fun and create moments that last a lifetime. You get the opportunity to excel in something you love and experience different areas of the creative industry. The opportunity to meet some of your favorite models, actresses, actors, celebrities and more. We get so many opportunities for endless paths in life. It opens our lives up to more than we ever expected. These opportunities allow us not only to grow , but to make a change in our communities that none really acknowledge. We have the opportunity to be that change or community needs for the better.
