We were lucky to catch up with Spiffy Evans recently and have shared our conversation below.

Spiffy, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. I’m sure there have been days where the challenges of being an artist or creative force you to think about what it would be like to just have a regular job. When’s the last time you felt that way? Did you have any insights from the experience?

Yes I’m totally fulfilled as an artist. The pursuit of a passion that I’ve had since a kid has now warranted me so many opportunities. I’ve worked a typical job and I’ve done what society says we should do to provide. But I thank God that I’m able to do what I love and make a living from it.

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?

Well I’m spiffy Evans bka $piffè from Hollywood Florida. I am ex collegiate all American football player who decided to purse his dreams once I hung up the cleats. As an artist, I’m inclined to make hiphop driven content with a positive/inspiring message. My brand is for all those under represented people while showing all that pursuing your goals will pay off. This separates us from the others. We not only tailor our music to help similar people overcome and have a good time. But we always give a ton back to the community. This is definitely something we pride ourselves on. Misfits don’t need to fit in but they sure don’t need to be overlooked as well. If you don’t know me you will come to find that I’m a positive guy who wants to spread love and inspiration to all those in need.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.

Best story is when I got the chance to open for Jim Jones. For months I followed his team on social media to try to get around and show them what I got. I drove 4 hrs from Miami to Orlando and waited a week at their hotel till I finally saw Jim Jones in the elevator. From there I didn’t ask to rap for him. I asked him can I just get some advice to make my dreams/goals a reality. The approach was refreshing for him because normally someone wants a deal or something. He asked for my social and a link to listen to something. As I got off the elevator and his team kinda sized me up I thought it was time wasted. For weeks prior I planned it out to ask him to let me be his Florida opening act. But I didn’t in the moment which left me doubting. Not even 3 hrs later I checked Instagram and he literally told me I got something special going and followed that up with an invite to open up at his show that weekend. I could say resolve did that but I know it was God.

What can society do to ensure an environment that’s helpful to artists and creatives?

There’s so many ways to support artist these days. For me it always starts as listening. Then if you like it share it with others who can appreciate it. I have social media so following those accounts help stay up to date and that in terms helps know where our fans are. Helps always by watching YouTube videos and coming out to live performances. The artist depends on society for a chance to expand their brands.
