I managed to do the coolest thing over this Juneteenth weekend and became an executive producer of a new musical series. The Good Mic! Continuing to build my platform from the greatest city, Chicago. 6/20 was an amazing day
More than 40 years ago, I arrived in Chicago in search of an idea. I was a young man looking for purpose, who believed deeply in America, was inspired by the Civil Rights Movement, and wanted to be a part of something larger. The America I believed in was one where everyone has opportunity, everyone is seen, everyone belongs—because that was an America that had a place for me, too.
Reporter: If you could say something to Trump, what would it be?
Trump voter: You’re a worthless pile of sh*t.
Reporter: How many times did you vote for him?
Trump voter: 3 times. That was my bad. Apparently I’m an idiot.
When I tell you I am having a hard time… but suppressing my expressions because I know there are those with harder circumstances… But let me tell y’all, life is beating my ass 😅
PinkPantheress gives honest advice to upcoming artists about the difference between wanting to make music and wanting to become famous from it:
"If you want to make music, just to create music, then do it freely."
"If you want to be famous through music, then it is a business. It's a form of business and you have to study it like a business. Because when someone starts a business, they want to promote their product and your product is music. So you need to promote it like a product."
