We recently connected with Tyrese O’Garro and have shared our conversation below.

Tyrese , thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Has your work ever been misunderstood or mischaracterized?

I feel that as a black man I’m often mischaracterized. People label be as aggressive, monstrous, and beneath them before taking the opportunity to know me. People often hear my music and assume I’m just rapping about violence, drugs, and that my music lacks emotion. In reality, my music is a timeline of my life and emotions. My music also shows how I’ve overcome and how others can overcome as well to be successful. Me and my music are both examples of how you can be successful as long as you are driven, focused, and motivated.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

I began making music in 2019 after my brother passed away. He always told me I’d be a great artist and that I have talent. Once he passed, my music became an outlet for me to overcome the situation as well as honor my brother in every way, shape, and form as he was always my biggest supporter in life.

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

My brothers death was my biggest example of my resilience. When he passed it took a large toll on me physically and mentally. He had always told me I’d be a great artist before I passed and he wanted to see me in the studio. I was able to overcome that loss and make successful music in honor of him.

In your view, what can society to do to best support artists, creatives and a thriving creative ecosystem?

Society can actually support artist by actually giving them credit and being open to new artist. By supporting them at shows, showcasing others art, and simply showing love to artist.
