Meet Sunshiiine | Recording Artist, Host & Event Curator

We had the good fortune of connecting with Sunshiiine and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Sunshiiine, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
Risk’s is the number one contributor to my business growth. Stepping out on a limb and going against the grain put my music and other businesses far beyond where id imagine I would have been a year ago. I had to make the hard choice to put some of my responsibilities on others, break covid regulations, move to a new city and invest everything I had in hopes of breaking even. We can risk our dreams by going with the norm or risk societal acceptance by going for our dreams. Either way risks are involved. The real question is what are you willing to risk?

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Growing up I was involved in the arts from a very young age. From recording radio shows on cassette tapes and boom boxes to choreographing for competitive dance troupes, expressing myself through the arts has been a part of who I am. These led me to taking on other art forms like poetry, acting and creative writing. The cultivation of all these different avenues laid the foundation for the lane I’m creating today in music. I could use a plethora of different genres to describe my sound but just like the many art forms that brought me to music, there are just as many dynamics to it. Lyricism is key for me. I could talk all the s**t I want in a song but you will take something from it. Something you can relate to. Something that you can leave with… I dropped my first project “Off My Chest” hard copies in 2019 and released it online in 2020. As of late I’m in the mixing process of Oh Dat So Flo’s Mixtape: “Florida Water Vol.1.” It was scheduled to drop in March but with all the new ventures we’ve taken on like photography, video, digital art design, small business development and our biggest event The Kickback, has put a little delay on the release but no later than May the world can expect the Oh Dat So Flo: Florida Girl Takeover! Outside of all the fun you can expect on Florida Water Vol.1, I am also in the writing process of my Album that is scheduled for Fall 2021. This album is entitled Sunrise to Sunset and will encompass more of the growth more depth and diversity of sound. As an artist who gave up everything I thought was safe in the height of Covid-19 and committed to my craft fully, I can say that holding yourself accountable and learning your flows helps maintain balance and sanity to say the least. Everything you do, everyday is a step closer to perfect timing. So with the ebbs and flows be flexible but still keep your promises to yourself.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my friend was flying in they must be landing on The Saturday of the Oh Dat So Flo powered event: THE KICKBACK! duhhhh! Sunday Were definitely hitting FlaVars for their epic RNB night! One of our favorite parties in Palm Beach. After 2 crazy days like that back to back because were the bosses Mondays office is the beach! Lets start the week right. Tuesdays we feed the soul and hit Hullabaloo for the Soul Fam AMP open mic and night cap with the Bag Boyz at playhouse for Taco Tuesday. Wednesday we take a lunch date at Benny’s on the Beach because a girls gotta eat. Thursday we stay in for our infamous game nights…sign the NDA at the door please. Friday We end the week Downtown at the legendary Hush Fridays at The Loft with Dj Eye Max and DJ Jay Dot

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
There are many business ventures that I have taken on over the years but none of them would have been possible without my ace, day 1, sister from another mister Bri-Live. She is the other half of my girl gang “Oh Dat So Flo.” Together were a female artist empowerment platform focused all things powered women! She helps keep me grounded and focused and I wouldn’t be where i am today without her.
