We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Micah Talley. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Micah below.
Hi Micah, thanks for joining us today. We’d love to hear about when you first realized that you wanted to pursue a creative path professionally.
Ever since I was as young as eight I always knew that I was going to pursue something artistically. I know that sounds crazy…but I’ve always known what I was going to do. I used to watch the TV and tell my mom “ I’m going to be up there one day, that’s going to be me one day”.. It’s just something that has always been within me and I don’t think there’s ever been a time that I didn’t believe this is what I would be pursuing.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
So my name is Micah Talley. I am 19 years old and I am from Canyon Texas. I am a r&b/pop artist in the DFW area. I perform a lot locally around the Denton area but I am looking to start performing live around Dallas. I started getting into the industry when I was around 12 years old. I joined an agency called Anderson model and talent and from there I went on to do acting, modeling and singing. Something that I’m most proud of is just putting myself out there. I haven’t always been like this so for me to believe in myself and put myself out there is really a big accomplishment. Also something that I think sets me apart is that I am from a very small town. So a lot of these things are super new to me and I’m just growing in a very new environment.
My overall goal with my music is to connect genuinely and authentically with people everywhere. I love performing live and love seeing people singing along with my music. I hope to grow and experience that so much more.
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
For me the most rewarding thing about being an artist is getting to see my hard work pay off. Also being vulnerable with my music and people enjoying it. I love the fact that some people are able to connect to my music and it’s honestly just such an awesome experience. Another rewarding thing for me is looking a couple years back…15 year old Micah would be so proud of what i’m doing now.
Any resources you can share with us that might be helpful to other creatives?
Something that I wish I knew earlier would be to not care what people think. Easier said than done (lol) but at the end of the day I just have to remind myself that this is my life; and it shouldn’t matter what other people think because I’m doing things that I enjoy. I think if I had this mindset a few years back it could have saved me a lot of heartache lol.
