Today we’d like to introduce you to Belle Lundon.
Belle, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
I started off with love for the entertainment business when I saw a little girl about the same age as me on a television show. The love for show business increased when I saw Patti LaBelle singing about “The Letter X” on Sesame Street. I looked up to Michael Jackson’s artistry as well as other artists whose careers have inspired me. My mom helped me get started in the entertainment industry with headshots and finding theatrical representation. In my senior year of high school, I attended the New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts, which offered a similar curriculum as a college conservatory for the arts. My love for Shakespeare started during my senior year of high school and continues to be one of my favorite playwrights. When I turned 18, I moved to California to pursue an education in the performing arts. I have theatrical agents in both cities I reside in, which is both LA & Houston. Most of my music is done out of Houston, which is my hometown base since moving from my birth town of New Orleans, Louisiana.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
The connections we make in the entertainment industry is sometimes a mix of word of mouth and who you know. The trick is to have the wisdom to choose the right people to do business with. Some of my most important opportunities have stemmed from random encounters, which in turn is helping me to build a foundation with a team to help. Luckily, women are creating their own lanes without waiting for a lane to be carved out for them. My company allows me to be selective with projects I create or choose to become involved with. I will also create pathways of creative freedom for future artists.
Please tell us about your work.
At the moment, I am currently gearing up for my next project, which starts filming later this summer. I am also excited about the release of the last film I was involved in called, “The Other Side Of Infinity.” The film is about an asteroid hitting the sun and there is only six hours left until the world ends. My ultimate aspiration would be to direct films more on the documentary side while traveling the world. Musically, I am working on my next release which is called Lighting Souls in the Night. After I release this song, more or my original work will soon follow.
If you had to go back in time and start over, would you have done anything differently?
The hard lesson I had to learn is giving my trust to others too easily. Trust is something that must be earned. I tend nowadays to be selective with how my time is spent.
