We recently connected with Nadarian Robinson and have shared our conversation below.
Nadarian, appreciate you joining us today. Let’s kick things off with talking about how you serve the underserved, because in our view this is one of the most important things the small business community does for society – by serving those who the giant corporations ignore, small business helps create a more inclusive and just world for all of us.
At Still Dreamin’ LLC, we cultivate the next generation by helping them express themselves artistically. We provide experience and knowledge in digital media to kids in underserved and impoverished communities, giving them other means and avenues of future success.
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?
Still Dreamin’ LLC is an organization dedicated to cultivating the next generation through artistic education and expression. We focus on audio and visual arts of all kinds. We want the youth of today to have someone supporting them and their dreams while also giving them the tools and resources necessary to do so. We got started in this business by being kids with dreams, but had no idea where to start. Over the years, we’ve gained more experience and expertise and certain areas and we want those following behind us to have the advantage that we did not have coming up in this industry. Although we still have a ways to go, our foundation has been set and it is still only the beginning of what we’ll be able to do and provide. Whether it comes by educational courses, sponsorships, scholarships, or just giving advice, we want to give all that we can to the next generation and that is something we’re dedicated to and most proud of.
How’d you meet your business partner?
My co-founder/business partners are my best fiends and also family. Quentin and I have known each other since 6th grade (since 2005) and Keion and I are cousins. Together us 3 always spent plenty of time together just playing around with making music, until one day we decided to take it a bit more serious and legally created Still Dreamin’ LLC with a few other partners.
How did you build your audience on social media?
In our industry, the best way for us to connect with others was through being ourselves truthfully. We partake in a lot of artist showcases and performance events (often put together by promoters/DJs/other labels/etc) where we would network with others in our industry. Meeting people from rappers/singers, painters, dancers, media personalities, broadcasters (podcasts), set designers, fashion designers, photographers and videographers, and many other talented individuals has helped us broaden our reach and connect with others in similar fields. Aside from that, our music related contender is one of the main ways we engage with fans in our social media.
