We recently connected with Sweet Poison and have shared our conversation below.
Sweet, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Did you always know you wanted to pursue a creative or artistic career? When did you first know?
It was my senior year of college, I was attending Tennessee State University (TSU) in Nashville. My major was social work and I had to do a research paper for my final. I decided to do my research on Artist Development. In the midst of doing my research project I started to write and record music. After recording for a couple of months and finishing my research paper I knew then that I wanted to pursue music full time. After graduating from college I started to take my music career seriously.
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.
My name is Sweet Poison I’m a Nashville native. I am an artist I write, record and perform music. I also have done modeling for different clothing lines. I am very active in the community. I have been involved with several different events for kids such as winter coat drives, back to school events, etc. I have won many awards for my music and live performances. I have traveled through out the country performing.
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
When I was 12 years old my cousin Ivy was shot and killed at the age of 19. She was also an artist, she mainly did rap music. She is my inspiration and the main reason that I do music, I feel like it’s my duty to keep her legacy going, and to keep her name alive. Also I have a daughter and she is my motivation to keep going on this creative journey.
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
The most rewarding aspect of being an artist is telling my story and inspiring others to be great. Also creating timeless music that I know will be around for life and even after.
