Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Trustwho. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Trustwho, appreciate you joining us today. Learning the craft is often a unique journey from every creative – we’d love to hear about your journey and if knowing what you know now, you would have done anything differently to speed up the learning process.
Im apart of the group that started doing it when it wasn’t cool. Learning how to create music and art was the goal. I recited songs and b-boxed beats until it became a reality. Originality was a must so I found iron and began to sharpen my sword.
There is no way to speed up the process. You miss what you don’t see. You don’t want to skip the understanding part of each level you reach. To know it, then to do it. And doing it brings the experience you need to keep progressing in your learning.
It all takes time and you have to respect the time it takes.
The best skill I had to use was listening. Learning to listen and follow directions is something I still work at to get better. Being aware of someone else’s strong points and allowing them to help where you may lack is vital.
The biggest obstacle that was in my way was myself. Between the loss of people and the passing of time you can become complacent and disorganized. Acceptance and accountability played a major role in pulling everything back into perspective.
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?
My name is Trust. My artist name/brand is TRUSTWHO. My production company is WISDOM AND SOUND. I am apart of a collective who operates out of a creative space called Sandalwood Leo, located on Northside of Houston TX.
As a recording artist I have been working in the studio since I was in high school. From writing songs to burning CDs and selling them to whoever would buy them, I knew this was what I wanted to do. I have a catalog of music that can be found in various places. The most common place to find my exclusive music content is to go www.trustwhothebrand.com and purchase directly from my store. All streaming platforms have a certain amount of my content as well, but definitely not all. I have been quiet on the scene for a few years. Except for a few features, a some freestyles here and there on Alchemist beats or THE HOMAGE TAPES MIXTAPE series presented by WISDOM AND SOUND I haven’t made any noise. Gearing up to make November the month that narrative changes.
My production company Wisdom and Sound is responsible for most of all the audio and visual production for myself as well as other artist such as COG KA’RON, DAZE PIRELLI, HARDBODY SIRG, HANDSOME TRAPZ just to name a few. Sound engineering, sound generation, art creation/consulting are just some of the services my company offers. Feel free to contact Wisdom and Sound @832994677 to discuss any creative ideas.

What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
The most rewarding part of it all for me is watching each piece come together and form what we may like or dislike. I admire what goes into each creation. An artist has the power given by the Highest form of inspiration to tear down or build up.
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?
The art itself comes from a place not knowing but needing to know. Experience wrapped in melody. Pain engulfed in rhyme. I was taught to express thru art the way tears express emotion. Whether you are happy or sad tears flow. Tears are the manifestation of intense energy flowing out, so are lyrics. For the fact of the matter so are paint brush strokes.
