It’s crazy how finding yourself as an adult means returning to the things that brought you the most joy as a kid. Growing up in a society that already has predetermined roles for you can be challenging when you’ve found the beauty of connecting to your truest self.

A lot of creatives can relate to the feelings of insecurities, doubt, and fear that come with publicly identifying with your art. You’re told in many forms that your art is neither a priority nor important.  A craving to be satisfied once in a while when you’ve got through all the work you’re supposed to spend your life doing. 

Tk the Artist was created to be everything I wanted to be. A fierce performer and an incredible songwriter. Charismatic and extremely skillful in controlling a crowd with melodies soaked in emotion. He is unapologetic about his music. He wears his art loud and proud on his chest and inspires people to have the courage to dream again. Most times I fall short of this person. But sometimes, when the stars align and the music feels right and I am under the stage lights, I remember who I am.
