Lifestyle and Career Pivot
Speaker 1You mentioned multifaceted a couple of times as well. Right, and it's obvious to see that you are. How did you decide to pivot into modeling, like, if you want to briefly, just briefly touch?
Speaker 2on that oh boy lifestyle.
Speaker 1Just lifestyle.
Speaker 2Yeah, right now, that is slang I've been using over, like the sugar bastard candy bar.
Speaker 1That's the term for it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you said something like lifestyle.
Speaker 2People feeling it right now. Yeah Look, I went juve in a white robe, bro, I saw you.
Speaker 1It's a stony out here doing stony things, yeah, yeah stony things lifestyle.
Speaker 2I just do me, I just do what I want, you understand, If I wake up, that's how I feel, I do that. But people have been pressuring me to do that biggest brands in the world, like you understand. So it was easy for me because, like I said, it was just something I'm a fearless that I wanted to check off. I wanted to just venture out and expand like my portfolio. Yeah, because fun fact I had an opportunity to be in like a short film movie like years ago, and they sent me the script and everything. It was like this, like something like a web version of like top shuttles, like a rough kind of. So the script was tough, you feel me, and it was one of my feel and I didn't face that feel.
Facing Career Regrets and Fears
Speaker 2Yeah, to like transition, like just being the artist. Like I always say, I want to be more than just an artist. Mudstone is a brand, but at the time when the opportunity was presented remember, like man's working two job man, like in the real mental state, to pursue like the arts, you feel me, yeah, I had to focus on like life shit, so my mental wasn't really there to compartmentalize, like dealing with like real life and then venturing into an unknown field now, which is like would have been acting for the first time yeah, I don't know like what tone of voice to use here like you know, like a wing in it, bro, you feel me and I actually regret. I don't regret a lot of things, but I mean I regret not being strong enough to capture that opportunity and in that um period of time. So I always use that as an example to try to always face your fears.
Speaker 1No, that's a powerful message, man, like that's the one thing you've been saying tonight consistently that I just making mental notes about. Because, Like, fear is a thing that can always be around. So you got to be able to identify and kill the fear. Because a man said I hear a man say one time, like, if you're fierce, you're fierce, right, you can't inhibit you no more. You know what I mean. Because then the thing that was the boogeyman, if you pulled it, it's like watching an episode of Scooby-Doo man and they pull the mask off.
Speaker 2It's you, man. You understand and you know. One of my fears earlier, like in the inception of my career, was like bright lights yeah, shit, they make you sweat.
Speaker 1Yeah, I was sweating bullets earlier, but I don't want hot yeah, but then eventually.
Speaker 2Now I faced the fear, like on multiple occasions. Now I love the bright light, I love the big stage.
Speaker 1So do you still get nervous Because?
Performing Live: Nervousness to Confidence
Speaker 2you, you be out. I know you just got there, do your thing. Know what I mean. Like before, like as an early on in my career, of course I used to get nervous, but I come with, like, with time, experience, perfecting your craft. To be honest, like, relatively honest, the only sense of nervousness is like not being able to deliver to my full capability or potential that I know I have within, because I still my full capability or potential that I know I have within, because I still feel like me really is a lot more to unlock when it comes to performance.
Speaker 2Yeah, I love performing live, like that's one of my strong points. Then you feel me. But I got so much more like okay, but in my head is a rock star. I feel that. No, I navigating within a space and a culture where it ain't really ah, know how to receive that. Ah, know how to judge it. Ah, whatever, you feel me. So sometimes you're still battling with like being yourself but like migrating to anywhere. You answer that help. You know you face them fears a lot more. You check you ain't got no choice. Yeah, me had no choice. I just had to pivot because you swim in the sharks. Now, boy, you understand On that same note.
Speaker 1right, yeah, you say you love performing.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1You prefer an intimate setting like zoo and friends, or you prefer because I feel like there's a difference, right, you can feel the energy from the crowd. Of course, if you're on, a big stage. For sure, there's a lot of energy hype and all of that, but the smaller setting is more intimate.
Small vs Large Stage Preferences
Speaker 2I just didn, I'm just going to show you the pros and the cons of that while you're navigating to it. Because the smaller setting now I can hear what you're saying in the corner, I can more feel the energy because it's more enclosed. You feel me, yeah, whereas now on a bigger stage, bigger production, it's like you've got stage monitors and all them things bouncing back into you. So I'm more hearing the quality of my voice and my sound. I'm also hearing the audience.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2Because it's real loud in this stage. So sometimes now you might be performing and you're getting a big forward and you can't even capitalize on it sometimes because you're not really hearing it. That's crazy. It's when you're watching back the video from the grunge You're like what? You were jumping, shaking, you were cricket. You know what I mean. That was going on on the ground.
Speaker 2You feel me so when you're on a big stage. Now, that's why sometimes if you see me perform, I like to level the band. I like to keep it at a moderate level when I'm performing certain songs, because I need to feel the crowd and interact with the crowd, because I like feed off of. I just know, okay, they're feeling this song, so I soak it. You feel me? Yeah, okay, the vibe in it. This is a new song, they ain't really know it yet. They know how to receive it. Okay, so me and I soak that Trash. Can't put that to the back, but at least I introduce it, yeah. So I feel like to answer the question which one I prefer more? It all depends on the event. But to not sit on the fence, but like the big stage because I got more space to work with, yeah, I prefer, like I love, the music festival stage because you know the reason why I said that is this bro.
Speaker 1Me and.
Speaker 2Kap, you got Champions League right and you got Premier League, which one you would want your team win, me and the football. But I can say Champions, ah right, Because you know why, because you know why, because the Champions League Is a league of champions.
Growth Beyond Comfort Zones
Speaker 2As the name suggests yeah, and, as I say, it's like Bigger league, more recognition. You know, like it's like Messi and Ronaldo Ain't playing Corner league bro, nah, yeah. And so I mean For myself as like a, you know Corner league Artist, yeah, so I'm going to Always strive and aspire to be on like the biggest stage, because I want to showcase my talent to a large audience. Yeah, I want, you understand market myself to more people. So when you back yourself and you believe in yourself, now you're not limit yourself to like say I just want to go in this small setting because it's more comfortable, like, I believe, like comfort come from the devil.
Speaker 1Devil that make people comfortable yeah, I mean all the good that happen just outside your comfort level. Oh, your comfort level and comfort keep you stagnant.
Closing Freestyle
Speaker 2Oh, without a doubt. Yeah, so anything that's too comfortable, it's nice. But on to the next. I want to do bigger and better things. That's how you keep growing as an individual. I need a mom. You're 3 or and better things, and that's how you keep growing as an individual. Pussy me nuh inna, back and forth, silly, willy, even nilly know I am my life. Like captions, plenty quote. You could go ask me Shaq, I been the goat. Like Conris, everybody. Take the boat, adiago and Nevis, take the boat. Who can swim better? Learn to.
