Today we’d like to introduce you to L.D. Stewart.
Hi L.D., it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
My story begins in 2022 with my promotional/publicist work in the music industry, when the Pop Sensation Maeve De Voe decided to go worldwide on online stations, and began to be on music charts in London with her first song released. I had worked as an executive for one of the largest cosmetic companies in the South Florida area as an Account Coordinator, creating events and generating excitement for those events, and began to use that knowledge to promote the amazing music being produced and written by the North Houston/The Woodlands area talent. I have spent the last years increasing my worldwide connections with top-tier independent artists from countries like; Canada, USA, Portugal, and the UK, to help bring collaborations, radio airplay/music charts, and awards for Maeve De Voe and those super talented artists. I have built relationships with top award-winning radio stations in many countries for regular airplay of her music, also connecting her to national and international music awards available for her to submit to. Through these relationships I have gained recognition, awards, and many accolades for the World’s First Princess Pop Star Maeve De Voe, now known as such worldwide, and in her 178th-Week on worldwide charts, with many songs every week airing on over 200 stations and over 30 plus countries, as well as satellite-based transmissions to multi-continent stations.
I also have been working to become an independent published author of two books, and now I am an international award-winning author in 2024. I also mentor and help promote a Millennial five-time published author J.L. Jensen, recently nominated for a major book award. I work with a sense of great purpose helping the next generation, and I have made it a career doing so. Overall, I aim to inspire and create positivity to all I encounter, or who read my books.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
In these past three and a half years it has been a phenomenal adventure, working and learning a new industry and accepting a new accelerated pace to excel in it. The music industry, as well as the publishing industry are both very challenging, and the struggle is always endurance and consistency. There is never a day where I have felt I could not have done more or thank someone for playing the music of the artist Maeve De Voe, or picked up that ongoing book project and continued to develop a character. You have to battle the ‘What if I had worked another hour?’ ‘What more could I have gotten done?’, which goes for both music work and writing. I live and work with a mentality that the day is full of opportunities and embrace the interruptions as meant to be. I also believe an ordered day helps to get more done to confine the struggles. A quote I always have near me is ‘Ordo ab Chao.’ Latin for ‘Order out of Chaos.’ I endeavor to bring the creation of order, clarity, and integrity through wisdom and discipline. The order of tasking helps to eliminate so many struggles along the way and brings personal growth, reflection, and conscious efforts to all I do.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
An Artist/Creative would be my assessment of the type of work that I do. There is the professional side and organized side of it that some may not associate with artistry and creatives, who exist more in spontaneous environments, but truly to be the best in any field or a major projects effort to achieve, those two things have to be layered in. As for the artist angle, I listen to music, all genres, even varying languages, all day off and on, and I am a publicist, so using music with posts for social sites and my YouTube channel, I have to use creative images that work with those unique songs and that highlight the talent of the artist, music chart placements, or awards won. I like to think that I endeavor to put out high quality work that is memorable. That I would say is a specialty of mine. Here is a recent comment to me from the prestigious abreakmusic.com executives, “You’re terrific! Best to you and all the artists who are fortunate to receive your digital/creative help.” These types of comments thrust me forward as approval of my efforts in the artsy creative work that I do.
I am most proud of the artist I work with, Maeve De Voe, who can just ignite a whole new project with new music. Whether her prior songs that are still out there being played that need promotion or a whole new direction of sound, it is exciting to be creative and find new art to feature with my work, new colors, and new vibes for fans.
Also, the work I do with the author J.L. Jensen, helping to promote and find opportunities for her works. As a published author I know the countless hours behind generating a book, all that is involved and believe in supporting great creatives. It also motivates me to keep working on my writing projects with fresh enthusiasm.
I would say if you were to meet me you would say what sets me apart is the fire I have for life. I hope it stokes the embers and flames of those I meet. I would also say the ‘shifting’ I do all day sets me apart. A day is full to me if I have been able to shift from music, to writing, to the recent Harvard certification online course I completed. Life is short and I am all about legacy work. I hope a future descendant sees my efforts and says, “I need to pick up the pace in life.” or “I come from good hardworking people like her.” and really make their mark on life in their time and history.
We’d be interested to hear your thoughts on luck and what role, if any, you feel it’s played for you?
I am not a person who weighs life or business by good or bad luck, as I believe that a bigger picture is at work, and that if something does not work out it is either due to my not seeing it from every angle before doing it, thinking it out, creating a sort of syllabus (summary of points), or I have been saved from doing a task or effort that was unworthy of my time and efforts. I try to envision my efforts with my music work and writing as a giant tapestry and look at the end of each day to see if I have added new threads that are developing this life/work I am in or am I in an area that needs to be reworked or begun over again to be perfected. Visualization is a very powerful tool for highly productive people that I think can help surpass luck.
