Today we’d like to introduce you to Creole King.
Hi Creole, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
Well like most black talent I started off singing in the church, but my flare for performing was born out of my wanting to make my family, specifically my aunts, uncles and cousins laugh. I can quite literally mimic anybody after one conversation. I would imitate everyone and everything on TV. All it took was for a girl to say I sounded good singing and it was over. PURPOSE DISCOVERED AND PATH CHOSEN!!!
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
Smooth roads are boring and they don’t build the character required to stay once you arrive. So, I would say it’s been a road filled with hills and valleys. Growing up in New Orleans was not easy by any stretch. Using music and entertainment as a way to escape the pitfalls many fell victim to will give you survivor’s remorse. Fighting to make a name for myself. Surviving Hurricane Katrina, homelessness and displacement all while figuring out the balance of manhood, marriage and fatherhood. I’d say GOD has certainly “built my character”.
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 a singer/songwriter/emcee that loves to express my creativity in a plethora of ways. I specialize in painting pictures with words and I’m known for singing my ass off. I am most proud of the fact that after all these years, I still have the courage to pursue my dreams and aspirations. What I believe sets me apart is my charm, wit and self-awareness. Also, my empathy and ability to understand, communicate and connect with people from diverse backgrounds.
If you had to, what characteristic of yours would you give the most credit to?
Definitely self-awareness. If we aren’t aware of our strengths how can we leverage them and if we’re not conscious of our faults and failures how can we grow from them. I think self-awareness expands our capacity for growth
