Volt’s Stories, Lessons & Insights

We recently had the chance to connect with Volt and have shared our conversation below.

Good morning Volt, it’s such a great way to kick off the day – I think our readers will love hearing your stories, experiences and about how you think about life and work. Let’s jump right in? What’s more important to you—intelligence, energy, or integrity?
Energy and integrity are more important to me. The right energy controls the room, it sets the tone, draws people in, and moves things forward. But integrity is what maintains it. Without that, everything else eventually falls apart.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Name’s Volt — I’m a music producer, artist, and creative director based out of Atlanta. My sound and brand mix global influences like Hip Hop Afrobeats, Amapiano but what really sets me apart is how I bring that cinematic storytelling energy into everything I do.

I’m big on visuals, emotion, and creating a full experience around my music. So whether it’s producing records or doing these cinematic edits I’ve been known for — like the ones I did for TXC, Ofili, and Akay Centric, and now Kamo Mphela — I’m always trying to blur the line between film and sound.

I like to build worlds — not just drop content. My work feels like motion pictures with soundtracks. It’s about showing the emotion, the energy, and the power behind what artists do, not just the highlight reel.

Right now, I’m focused on expanding my Cinematic Artist Series, which is something I created to tell stories of artists in a deeper, more visual way. It’s been cool seeing the response and how these edits connect with people all over — even artists themselves reposting or showing love.

At the end of the day, my whole thing is about energy — real energy. Whether it’s through the beats, visuals, or my own music, I just want to inspire people to stay charged up and keep going no matter where they’re from or what they’re facing.

Okay, so here’s a deep one: What part of you has served its purpose and must now be released?
Honestly, I think the part of me that tried to please everyone has served its purpose.I used to move in a way where I wanted people to get it — to understand the grind, the vision, the late nights, the loyalty. But I realized not everyone’s supposed to see it or clap for it. Some people are just meant to watch from the distance while you evolve.

That version of me the one that sought validation had to go. Now I move with peace, direction, and purpose. My focus is on alignment, not approval.

I think growth comes when you stop explaining yourself and just let your work, your energy, and your results speak. So yeah, I’m releasing the need to be understood, and embracing the part of me that just creates and builds regardless.

When did you stop hiding your pain and start using it as power?
I stopped hiding my pain the moment I realized it was the fuel and not the flaw. For a long time, I tried to mask it smiling, dressing it up, pretending everything was smooth.

But pain kept showing up in my art anyway.

One day I flipped it. Instead of running from it, I started building with it. Every beat, every cinematic edit, every caption,

it became a way to channel what I was going through without having to say it directly. That’s when my work started to hit different, because people could feel it even if they didn’t know the story.

So now, pain isn’t a secret; it’s power. It’s my battery. It keeps me pushing when the room goes dark.

So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. Whom do you admire for their character, not their power?
I admire people who stay solid no matter what room they walk into. Not the ones with the biggest platforms, but the ones who keep their word and move with intention.

If I had to name someone, I’d say Swizz Beatz — not just for his success, but for how he carries himself. You can tell his moves come from passion, not ego. He uplifts people around him, builds platforms for others, and still keeps that grounded energy. That’s the kind of character I respect — quiet power that speaks through actions, not noise.

Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. What do you think people will most misunderstand about your legacy?
I think people will misunderstand how intentional everything I do is.

They might see the chains, the visuals, the confidence and think it’s all just image. But it’s not about flexing; it’s storytelling. Every move, every post, every edit has a purpose behind it.

What I do isn’t luck or showing off, it’s strategy, consistency, and belief in my vision even when nobody’s clapping yet. One day, when people look back, they’ll realize I wasn’t just trying to look successful — I was building something cinematic from scratch.
