Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Prince Chapelle. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Hi Prince, thanks for joining us today. Was there an experience or lesson you learned at a previous job that’s benefited your career afterwards?

I spent ten years of my life as a professional photographer before really getting a start in the music industry. What I’ve learned the most from that environment, that I still carry with me today is that most people connect their memories to the experience they had with you. So for me, today, I’m very big on making sure that I create an experience for my guests when they’re working with me.

For example, when a person looks at a photo it’s the experience that they remember the most, more-so than the photo itself.

Prince, 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?

I grew up in a musical family where many of my relatives had success in the music industry. Being exposed to that at such a young age has crafted much of my overall being. I started recording when I was seven years old. I went through many different phases before really understanding what my role in music would look like. First wanting to be an artist, then understanding, maybe not-so-much because I really enjoy a lot of the behind the scenes work that I get to do with other great and wonderful artists.

I along with Shelley Segal and my label True Music Inc have partnered to create our production house Secret Sauce where we take on a very familiar approach to what I like to call authentic artist development. This includes everything from Songwriting, Music Production, Vocal Production/Coaching, Mixing, Mastering, basically anything an artist would need to professionally create and release their original music. As an instructor I get to solve very many problems for my students/clients by often showing them things that they didn’t know about themselves or bringing about a new revelation or understanding and how to utilize and nurture their gifts and talents.

What I believe sets me apart from any other individual is that I am thoroughly excited by the adventure of learning every aspect of myself that I possibly can. I’m most proud of the fact that I wake up every day and continue to make a conscious decision to live. Not only to solely live but to live with an intentful purpose. That approach allows me to achieve everything I can imagine and more.

I want people to know that music is like an unexplainable language and my use of that language comes from what music did for me. Whenever I hear it, whenever I create it or even when it’s just around me, it connects to all of my emotional sensors. That’s where I create from and that’s what I want to give to people – a connection through musical language.

Do you think there is something that non-creatives might struggle to understand about your journey as a creative? Maybe you can shed some light?

I think the biggest misconception when non-creatives think about the lifestyle of a creative like myself is that you’re either really rich and doing well or completely broke and putting up a front when in fact there’s a variety of positions that a creative can find themselves in. For example, you can be a part of one of the biggest songs in the world and based on your involvement or percentage, you may see very little or very spread out rewards which can provide an inaccurate perception to an individual who is unfamiliar and only has been exposed to the glitz and glamour.

In addition, it’s also quite difficult to explain if this is not your everyday thing as there are so many different factors that can determine a particular outcome. What I would share with that individual, especially if they’re someone I was close to is a little bit more detail about my daily experiences where I could show them what goes on in a person’s music career beyond what is usually displayed to the general population. However, I do believe that social media has changed this aspect tremendously. I just don’t believe that it’s always the truth.

Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?

Although I have many goals, there is one goal that will forever drive me and that is to maximize the use of my life’s potential. The death of my mother is a constant reminder that this is the ONE life that I know I have for sure and I want to live it completely, wholeheartedly and with a passion that is unbreakable. The love my parents and family continue to show forces me to strive and achieve even the goals I had as just a young kid. A lot of my childhood dreams are either still the same or have been fulfilled. I could say that within itself is an accomplishment that I should be satisfied with but instead, it’s just motivation for me to pull from because it serves as evidence that I can and that I will.
