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?
No, it hasn’t been smooth. I’ve been left for dead twice. Once, I had a gun pointed at my head, and the guy fired, and I was left for dead as he fled the scene. But only by the grace of God did that bullet just graze the side of my head. I’ve been hit by a car while riding my bike the driver never stopped and I woke up from an unconscious state a day later covered in my blood. I’ve been cheated on, lied to, talked about, rejected, broken-hearted, and even homeless. But God preserved me, He kept me, and now my vision is even clearer than it’s ever been before. I now walk with purpose, strength, faith, and confidence, and my beautiful bride walks and prays by my side. So yeah, many, many struggles, but I walk in victory.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I’m known for music. But as an entrepreneur, my business partners and I founded Sisu Collective an organization created to help entrepreneurs spread their vision across platforms of media and entertainment as consultants and producers of video, film, music, and web design.
We help artists and businesses that we believe in taking their message to the masses.
The vision is simple, “We’re in the business of dream releasing – www.sisu.live.
I also founded Love Matters, a community that provides help to families, youth, and worldwide causes that have expanded from Mexico to Africa.
Is there any advice you’d like to share with our readers who might just be starting out?
“Where there’s no vision the people fail”. My advice? Write down your vision, make sure it’s simple and easy to explain, pivot, adjust, and rewrite as needed, get a solid team of advisors around you, and then execute that vision. Remember to walk in your purpose no matter what obstacles are in front of you. We’re all designed and built for a purpose.
