We were lucky to catch up with Prince Finest recently and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Prince , thanks for joining us today. Can you talk to us about how you learned to do what you do?
I learned how to Create by having a vision & not being scared to take risk . everything I know is from watching others . EVERYTHING Was / is self taught . Knowing what I know now You can’t rush greatness, you have to have patience , stay focused & learn from others and yourself . You can’t speed the process , what’s meant for you will be for you .
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 background and context?
I am PrinceFinest , born and raised in queens Newyork , where I started playing basketball until I moved to atlanta , ga & attended “Newton high school” .. during high school I use to play around , record & make beats with my “friends” that I never took serious until I recorded my “first” song in 09 . After that I locked myself in my room studying & practicing my craft until I felt like the world was ready for my vision . 2011 I released my first project (PrinceFinest : TheEP) & one ever since . In the mix of learning myself as an artist I was helping other artist / brands do the same . In 2015 I helped birth the clothing company (CurrencyCrew) & my own brand StayWeird
How did you build your audience on social media?
Always stay true too yourself and you’ll be able to stay true with others . Create what you want for yourself not for others. Have a goal , vision & idea and master it , stay consistent with yourself . When your not motivated stay consistent rather you’re releasing something or just working on your craft! im an visual artist , a visionary . So I made sure my visuals (photos , videos) . Know what kind of artist you are and master that !
In your view, what can society to do to best support artists, creatives and a thriving creative ecosystem?
SUPPORT EACH OTHER !!! It’s free , stay humble , spread love , help each other , each one teach one . Be more open and work with each other, uplift each other instead of downplaying and degrading each other .
