“ You have to be vulnerable because you’re basically telling people your story, through; rhythm and rhymes, sounds and frequencies. To be authentic is the smartest way to go about it […] If you don’t it’s going to be hard for people to resonate with your music if its not true to who you are. Things can all change, but you have to be on that path […] Music is a lifelong journey, and there is no point in which I think you can quit […]”

Bsidez shares with us his passion for authenticity & vulnerability in music, film and pictures as he walks us through his own journey of finding his artistic passion. From loving record artwork as a child, being in the rap battle scene as a teenager and growing up as a young adult spending quality time in the studio Bsidez continues to hone his craft. He reminds us how important community is for creators as well as mental and physical health during the creative process.
