Alright, Yz thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Did you always know you wanted to pursue a creative or artistic career? When did you first know?
After I wrote and recorded my first verse. Seeing my friends Reaction after playing it back for them let me know that i can really pursue this. I was 10
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?
After seeing my homies in the hood do music it truly sparked my mind that I can rap too! I was 10 years old After my bro asked me to get on a song with him. First song I ever recorded changed my life. That’s when I fell in love with music and been creating ever since. My Pops always expressed to me “be your own person son don’t try to be like nobody else” That message will forever live through me which drives me to create from a original place and be myself. That’s what separates me as a artist. I’m most proud of my growth . If my mindset was still the same as 10 years ago, I probably wouldn’t be doing music. I express to my fans that it’s ok to be yourself. Its the coolest thing ever! You don’t have to try to fit in. Create your own reality and do what makes you happy! We live in a world full of followers who get caught up in the hype. That’s how people loose themselves.
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
That I can create FREELY Whatever I feel and hear I can create it.
That’s like the coolest shit ever.
Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
Everytime I’ve thought about giving up I constantly have an experience that reminds me I am built for this.
My best friend came in town a few years back. Mind you he’s one of the guys in my circle who keeps his word.
After we graduated high school he told me he was going to college in Nashville, he did that.
Then he said he had this ideal to create a clothing line. He made that happen.
After he graduated from college he said he was moving to New York, he did that!
I say that to say this
He’s been a BIG inspiration in my life. Chasing his DREAMS Leading by example.
So Back to the story
he came in town and notice that I was throwing away my life. I had stop rapping. Wasn’t doing nothing but feeling like a bum. Basically was saying F*** my life.
He CHECKED me asking me what am I doing with my life? I didn’t have a answer.
He start yelling saying you not about to waste your life! Figure out your purpose and live it! If it’s music do just that and travel the world! Whatever it is you know you want to do, DO IT! Stop depending on people to help you! I BELIEVE IN YOU! You need to BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!
After having convo with him opened my eyes! He gained so much more respect from me I start living and believing in myself again!
