We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Roadrunner Speed. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Roadrunner below.
Roadrunner , thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Do you feel you or your work has ever been misunderstood or mischaracterized? If so, tell us the story and how/why it happened and if there are any interesting learnings or insights you took from the experience?
I often find myself thinking of reasons why I’m misunderstood by others and what causes this communicative disruption between us. Over years I have grown and became wiser studying myself down to the root of my traumas and what has caused me to be so able to be communicate through music but not through conversation. Multiple experiences of me being my own psychiatrist & dosing shrooms my confidence began to grow. I became more communicative and outgoing again less depressive and more of a people person. Although I feel that this only lead to a greater misunderstanding because to most people the way I’m able to travel and experience life is impossible. I’ve learned it’s better to leave a mystery for those who do not keep me company on this path that I’ve chosen to take with life. It’s not for everyone to see or understand, this is the road less traveled after all and your getting in depth with RoadRunner Speed,
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers
I don’t make music to be popular I got into this industry all unintentionally it was just brought upon me time and time again I didn’t have to go looking to hard to find a place to make music from the very beginning all of my friends loved music so when I became more outgoing to let them experience my talents it was natural from highschool to college to the county jail even at an aviation school I met key people in my journey of becoming an artist. I dedicate myself enough that I lived in the studio for months at a time working and grinding to perfect my craft those nights weren’t easy the networking opportunities the money I spent in other studios gas food for others videos all around nothing was given to me in my process I worked and earned it all myself I showed up on time to a lot of places I had to leave during sun light to reach and sat in the back until I was granted permission to vibe how I hangout and you see that with people like Bobby Fishscale shoutout to Fishy. Every where I’ve been everyone I’ve met it was all a risk I took every move I made was intended to be as precise as possible even the ones that didn’t work as planned. I’ve taken chances to get where I’ve gotten and meet the people I have met or spoke to i put it all out there when it comes to my music. Business is important to me keeping my face clean in life is important to me so the people around me I deal with know in business if I tell somebody outside of my circle something I’m dramatically angered if what I’ve said can’t be stood on I hate losing I hate looking like a liar and I hate not being prepared when it’s time to conduc business especially if money is involved.
Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
Throughout my journey I have experienced every emotion possible and I’ve spent many nights up wondering if it will ever be worth everything I’ve endured all the loneliness and broken bonds. I’ve been homeless nearly the entire time staying wherever I could lay my head never in a place of stability the entire time has been tribulation after tribulation as if life is just trying to break me all the way down I’ve been stuck stranded and lost along this journey I’ve been broke and I’ve had a little bit but all my money has went into music or things associated with the lifestyle. I’ve burned bridges and I’ve been burnt. I’ve hurt and I’ve been hurt. I don’t have much family support let alone support from my peers it’s as if I’m chasing a pot of gold or better yet trying to catch the leprechaun who owns it. I’m currently staying out of a motel renting rooms by the week that’s been going on for the past couple months since I got back from Alaska. Yeah I was in Alaska and Oregon for a couple of months I tried a different route in the seafood industry it was alright I feel I learned a lot to help me progress not only as an artist but as a man in life. You see the entire time my back has been against the wall nothing has too much been given to me in this life I had to grind for it.
: Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?
I’m pursuing freedom in life as well as an entrepreneurial lifestyle. But the mission I have is to show people who said it can’t that it can that in fact all things are within reach no matter what the situation is things can always change miracles do happen and hard work does pay off. If I can do it anybody an do it. The only thing more important than showing others their ambitions are within reach to me is showing myself that I am in fact more than capable of manifesting my dreams into reality.
