We had the good fortune of connecting with RapNerdz and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi RapNerdz, what role has risk played in your life or career?
I think risk is about not knowing what’s going to happen after taking that risk and what I mean by that is going for that leap not knowing if there’s going to be somewhere to land on after you take that leap it’s all about faith it’s all about believing in what you believe in it’s all about believing in what you’re capable of risk-taking has played a lot in my life and career because I took a risk to move to a another state that I knew nothing about and Didn’t know anyone and a whole pandemic hit and I didn’t let it get to me I stuck to the mission and said I was still going to be successful with my business during hard times. There were times I didn’t know how I was going to pay rent that month Only because I just moved to a whole new city where nobody knew me or my business and during a pandemic when everything is shut down and it’s in a panic and you still have to go on with life you don’t know where your money is going to come from so you have to make the best out of your situation and that’s what I did I pretty much told myself I’m not going back to my old life or my old city I’m going to have to go hard and make this new city my city Las Vegas Nevada is where I reside now coming from a small city in South Jersey New Jersey
Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Well my Art is like the most important thing to me I’m sensitive about my stuff lol but at the same time I can take criticism. Pretty much I’m a photographer videographer I’ll take pictures such as portrait head shots lifestyle photo shoots birthday photo shoots and plenty more and when it comes to the videography side I do party events baby showers weddings music videos business eventsReal estate videos business promo videos and more. What sets me apart from other creators it’s just me being myself and I know that sounds cliché but being yourself really does separate you from others that want to copy others success will you make your own way it may take a little time people might not like you’re passing your way but eventually if you stick to your same self I don’t change who you are and just grow people will follow after so that’s what sets me apart i be myself I don’t change who I am for others to make others feel good I just do what’s best for me and I keep a smile on my face.
I’m most proud of just all the work I put in in the past two years of moving out of my mothers House and coming all the way to another coast and calling it home and at the same time have a whole world pandemic going on after six months of moving to Las Vegas Nevada. I’m also most proud of meeting one of the most humblest best woman I’ve met in a while who gave me a chance to just take simple pictures of her on a regular Sunday While we were just chilling and smoke in that fire And just using the vitamins that we had to do the photo shoot for it to turn out to go viral and help my career go upward I would like to give a shout out to my sister Mzz Natural from former TV show Jocelyn’s cabaret
What I’m most excited for is just to make my business bigger I want to be able to hire more videographers and photographers and get another photo studio/production studio and get major artist and major actors and actresses and more people in the industry to come and make contact with my business I’m also excited for more travel trips and meeting new people
How I got to where I’m at today will take too long to give you the whole story so I’ll give you some pieces it took a lot of hard work it took a lot of pain it took a lot of tears and it took a lot of you don’t have to give up your dreams is that all you had to figure out how are you can make those dreams come true when you don’t have anything It was an easy and it’s still not easy today To get to where I met you just have to be professional you have to make sure you be as professional as possible and make sure that majority of the time everything is a business not pleasure and everything should not be taken to lightly or too seriously always remember you are your business
There’s challenges every day so I don’t know what challenges I have overcome and have it overcome but all I know is I have overcome a lot of challenges that I never thought I would go over I can’t think of any right now because there’s so many challenges that come with starting a business because you start from zero and you don’t see numbers until those numbers are always going up and you don’t even notice it And what I mean by that is that you just keep going and you don’t care about the money you know the monies coming you’re just trying to keep up with the moments and sometimes you miss moments because you’re always in the moment until you sit back and reflect And realize that was one of your moments and your career
The lessons I learned along the way is just make sure that you go with your gut don’t listen to your head or your heart your head listens to your heart and they’re connected but if you always go with your gut either way you’ll know that you feel like that’s what you needed to do.
I want the world to know that my brand it’s coming and he’s coming harder than ever because I put my heart soul body and mind into my company for years RapNerdz is going to be the next big production company and I’m going to be a CEO and I’m going to put others in position to put food on their families table from my hard work in the past and my hard work in the future to give them a opportunity to work for themselves and be able to do things they love to do wether its take photos doing a wedding
Filming a movie shooting a music video anything they want to do I want them to know if they come the RapNerdz they will have the opportunity to do so but they had to put in the work because her work beats talent any day
Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
