Today we’d like to introduce you to Aisa Blue (Weird Blue).
Aisa, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
Hello, my name is Aisa Nicole Blue Davis and I was born on May 29, 1999. I’m from the little city Columbia SC and since I could make noise, I created my art. When I was little I used to walk around and make / sing songs describing the things I seen , or what came to my mind. As I got older I learned to also fall in love with acting and I knew someday I would be on screens around the world. The more my life progressed the more talents I obtained thanks To my God The Great I Am . I know that none of these talents are mine but in fact are gifts God has bestowed me with , and for that I’m thankful. Literally it’s God and my talents in dark times that kept me going to where I am today. Although I’ve only had 20 years of life so far blessed to me , in those 20 years I have experienced a lot of life altering situations.
I had times where I felt and I didn’t know how I was going to make it ,but I always succeed thanks to God. I’ve learned that life has no age for certain stages, that we all go through life differently with no such thing as fast or slow. That I , like everyone else have my own story ,just like my art no one can or has the right to judge it. Currently I am a Junior majoring in Mass Communications at the honorable , Exquisite, and overall illustrious Benedict college. While at Benedict I currently hold the title of Thee Miss Junior 2019-2020 . I am so proud of that position because I’ve literally been a miss for 3 consecutive years and that’s a blessing because I never thought I would be any of those things. With my institution my talents have flourished significantly I’m proud to say I can’t wait to see what my future holds. I’m grateful for where I am in life right now and thankful to God that I’m here. I’m a firm believer in its not how you start but it’s how you finish.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
What is life without bumps in the road? To me, bumps add character, it’s in those bumps where something on the inside of you is shaped molded and birthed. If it had not been for my bumps I wouldn’t be who I am today or learn to appreciate smoother journeys. – Aisa Blue
The first five years of my life that I can recall I grew up homeless and in shelters . Through those shelters I met many different and great people and I honestly believe that’s where my social skills were developed. Although at the time I was to young to comprehend my situation , it’s because of that situation that I can understand homeless people are regular people just like you and I. I’ve had some of my best years at those shelters however it was hard. The older I got the more I understood and I would be lying if I said it didn’t take a toll. I was also a target of bullying not so much when I was homeless but when I got older. See my mother is white and Native American while I’m White , African ,Jamaican and Native American. My mother has long fine hair and mine is thick and full of coils. Due to the difference in our hair my mother would try but she wasn’t that successful at doing my hair and being that money was limited I didn’t have the newest clothes either. All of those elements to a group of middle school girls and boys made me the perfect target. Although my bullying wasn’t physical the mental was as harsh. I felt so insecure and ugly , I felt small , inferior and purpose- less . Not to mention at the time I was way behind the other students when it came to the subject of math and I had trouble spelling so I received an IEP and had to take up to 30 minutes or an hour in class special to my needs (Special Education) . Although those classes helped me in the long run it made me feel dumb or excuse my language stupid. This bump being one in many was one of my hardest but this bump also birthed the greatest parts of me. It’s because I got bullied and felt less then that now because I have many platforms I can connect to those people who people often miss , the ones who feel unseen. After all, I know how it feels to struggle with depression, how it feels to feel worthless, how it feels to want to commit suicide. I thought back then, all of that water was meant to make me drown, but now I see it’s what I needed to grow. That I am perfectly imperfect, I am royalty, I am beautiful, and I am hella proud to be weird because I am out the box and put aside, different, I am chosen! If I were to talk about every bump in my road so far, I would have a book and that’s something I’m saving for later. But know bumps create the character and I damn sure have a lot of it!
Please tell us about your business.
My business is my brand and my brand is me. I often reference a quote of mine that states, “my mother screamed in agony while giving birth to me because upon my head was a crown” – Aisa Blue. Literally what makes my brand stand out is me. I’m unapologetic about being myself. Whether that be in my strut or pose when I model, the characters I play while acting, the lyrics I rap or sing, or the lines and rhythm in my poetry. It’s because I’m me that I stand out. After all, I’ll never be these other people, artists, or brands, so why try and compare, but they also will never be me. I believe that a million lights can shine together in one room and it won’t make any light shine less then the other because they all shine differently. I pride my brand on the fact that I rather operate in love and realizing we all got different lanes then competition that makes me unique and stand out. It’s simple science because how can you compete when you don’t compare and how can you compare when your eyes are focused on your own thing. I specialize in the arts of public speaking, singing, modeling, poetry, rapping, acting, etc. overall, I am an artist and in Mother Badu’s voice, “I’m sensitive about my $HI%.” Just as you would approach an artist to paint you a picture and then they give you what you want with their flavor on it , I do the same. Upon booking me I’ll fulfill whatever I am tasked to do while doing it in my style. That’s how I got #ThoughtsInBlue because it’s what you want, but it’s dipped in my Blue Thoughts , what you wish to manifest but with a bit of Blue coloring for some flavor lol.
If you had to go back in time and start over, would you have done anything differently?
If I could start over I wouldn’t only because for every cause it’s an effect. So for every mistake and every decision ever made I’m where I am now. It’s for a reason, so why would I change that because to change that is to change me, I love my bumps in the road and what they birth out of me.
