Today we’d like to introduce you to QP. WorldWide.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I started off with nothing but a vision and the wherewithal to take the risk to make it happen. I always believed myself to be a man of a renaissance in motion to create my own. Since a kid I have always had a love and skill for the arts: from making music creating different designs, etc. An even To this day I’ve always kept a notebook that I use to sketch different ideas or just to write out roadmaps to what I want in the future. The only thing I didn’t have was a way to take all my ideas and bring them into one working machine. After some real conversations. I took the advice from a few wise friends that I needed to take things to a new level. And that new level was to become more than an artist with a business but treat my art as a business itself.
With that shift in mindset WorldWide Monopoly LC was created and I began to create my brand to what it is today. At first, I started off just making different items here and there for videos: pressing up my logo on different shirts; getting a different variation of my logo made for marketing purposes, etc. But still not taking the full steps of turning each talent into its on working component to create a bigger running machine.
At first, I didn’t really have thought about selling the items. I just wanted to promote my brand only in my videos. But after countless compliments on the clothing and a pivotal conversation with my cousin about engaging with your audience and giving them something they could be a part of too. I knew my next step was to fully dive into the world of merch. My first item for sale was a branded Bic lighter with my logo printed on the side. After selling out and still receiving a request for other items it was time to create a full line. That line would later become a subset for the umbrella which is now: Wealth A WorldWide Company; where all my love and passion for fashion finds its strong hold to manifest and grow.
While still working on my music and branding the clothes, I was struck with the idea to showcase my new project as a virtual live performance where I would promote my music as well as my new merch. The feedback was so good I started to receive messages from various artist asking could they do the same. From there birthed the newest component to the WorldWide Monopoly conglomerate which is now known as: WorldWide Presents | a Webseries/network meant for creative exposure and advancement through different content.
I am now in Season 2 of my web series, I just recently released a new line, and my new project is set to release by Nov. 2022. The road has not been easy but nothing worth having is. I can honestly say I love what I do and no matter what challenges I face, nothing beats the satisfaction I receive from my success.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It hasn’t always been a smooth process. I’ve had countless stepbacks along the way. Issues with vendors, trying out different products to find one up to par, and my biggest issue has probably been finding the right people to do business with. When I first began making t-shirt and hoodies, I went through at least three different businesses to help create my merch (Stitch, press, etc.) An after the trial and error of finding the proper people to work with. I released my first collection with my last 700 I had to my name in hopes that it would bring back more so I could pay my rent that month.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I am an Artist in every sense of the word. I create the music, I create the clothes, and I visually direct my content. My vision sets me apart from everybody else. Whatever I can envision, I can bring to reality. And no matter what I produce, I stand behind its QUALITY.
Is there a quality that you most attribute to your success?
I feel my biggest quality that has contributed to my success is my wherewithal. No matter what, I’m going to make it happen. I won’t give up until my vision is to the standard of what I see.
