We recently had the chance to connect with Courtesy Davinci and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Courtesy, thank you for taking the time to reflect back on your journey with us. I think our readers are in for a real treat. There is so much we can all learn from each other and so thank you again for opening up with us. Let’s get into it: What are you most proud of building — that nobody sees?
Not the songs, not the shows, not the visuals or the verses though I put my soul in all that. What I built behind the scenes was a foundation. I built the ability to keep going when nobody clapped. I stitched together a mindset out of silence, failure, loss, and self-doubt and turned it into fuel.
I built late nights into discipline. I built heartbreak into harmony. I built rejection into redirection. And none of that makes it to the highlight reel. But it is the reel. It’s the engine behind everything you do see.
That inner architecture. That’s the real masterpiece. And that’s what I’m most proud of
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Courtesy DaVinci, and I’m an artist, creator, and storyteller who blends music, visual art, and raw life experience into work that’s meant to move people — not just sonically, but emotionally and spiritually. I represent the ones who’ve been lost and found more than once. The ones still writing their story while the ink is smudged and the pages are torn.
My brand is rooted in authenticity and duality — the grace of a “Courtesy” and the brilliance of a “DaVinci.” I’ve lived through shadows and came out painting light. Every song, every visual, every message is crafted with intention. It’s about resilience, reinvention, and creating art that speaks with people, not at them.
Right now, I’m working on projects that blend music with wellness, storytelling with healing, and sound with style. From my song Lost and Found to my upcoming wellness-centered brand extensions, I’m building something that doesn’t just entertain — it empowers.
I’m not here to chase trends. I’m here to build legacy — one truth, one track, one soul-touching moment at a time
Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. What part of you has served its purpose and must now be released?
That part of me knew how to shrink, how to downplay my gifts, how to wait for permission or validation before fully stepping into my light. It helped me survive, stay connected, avoid conflict but it also kept me from soaring.
Now I know too much about who I am. I’ve come too far. That version helped me stay safe, but it’s not meant to help me lead. So I’m letting it go, with gratitude.
I’m no longer here to be digestible I’m here to be undeniable
What did suffering teach you that success never could?
Suffering taught me who I really am when everything’s stripped away when there’s no applause, no spotlight, no reassurance.
It taught me how to sit in silence and still hear my own voice. How to keep creating when there’s no crowd. How to love myself when there’s nothing glamorous about the moment.
Success can show you what’s possible. But suffering shows you what’s essential your faith, your grit, your reason, your roots. It exposes what’s fake and sharpens what’s real.
Suffering didn’t just break me it built me. It gave my art a heartbeat and my purpose a spine. It taught me how to walk through fire and come out not just alive, but lit.
Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. Is the public version of you the real you?
What you see the music, the visuals, the message that’s me on purpose. That’s the me who shows up with intention, with polish, with vision. It’s the side of me that’s crafted to speak to the world, to inspire, to express.
But the realest me also lives in the quiet. In the moments nobody films. In the doubts, the prayers, the healing, the in-between. That version doesn’t always rhyme or flow but it feels, it fights, and it grows.
So yeah, the public version is real. But it’s a curated truth the art of me. The full truth is deeper, messier, softer, louder. And I’m learning to let all of it breathe.
Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
Courtesy DaVinci was the truth. He didn’t just create art, he created impact. He turned pain into purpose, struggle into sound, and gave people permission to be real with themselves.”
I want them to say I stood on something solid. That I didn’t fake it to fit in. That I spoke from the soul, moved with intention, and left behind more than content I left a legacy.
That I was the type of man who made honesty look fearless. That I didn’t wait on a seat at the table I built the table, set it, and pulled up a chair for others too.
I want them to remember that everything I touched came from something deeper something divine. That I didn’t just chase dreams I became one.
