Skull Q shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Skull , really appreciate you sharing your stories and insights with us. The world would have so much more understanding and empathy if we all were a bit more open about our stories and how they have helped shaped our journey and worldview. Let’s jump in with a fun one: What battle are you avoiding?
I believe the battle I’m avoiding is the battle of doubt Trying to overcome the emotional pull and fear of failure. Because you must have the battle of doubt in order to fully live within your success. Nobody gets one were until they become comfortable with being uncomfortable
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My Name Is Qaani , But Everyone Calls Me Q , I’m A Artist , Photographer, Poet , Director , Label Owner , But If I Have To Chose Between Any Of Those It Will Always Be Music First. I Was Born Albany Georgia But Have Lived In Atlanta Most Of My Life. Music Will Forever Be My Passion Because Of What It Represents For Me. Music Is Something Like A Superpower , A Connection Of Some Sort You Have The Power To Create Peace , Chaos And Sometimes Even War. Also I Own A Labeled Called DWAL Which Translate To Die With A Legacy , I Called That Because You Want To Leave This Earth With A Purpose And Or A Forever Legacy. Also Run A Photography Company Called Lawless Productions. I Would Say I’m Multitalented I Never Just Liked To Do One Thing , Because In This Life You Have To Be More Than Just The Artist You Must Be The Brand. But As Of Right Now I’m Working On A Album Called Forever Begins Here It’s Dropping On All Platforms December 1ST , 2025 Make Sure You Guys Go Check It Out.
Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. What breaks the bonds between people—and what restores them?
I Would Say The Thing Breaks People Is Greed , The Pull Of Wanting To Much Of Everything You Want Instead Of Need. I’ve Seen Friendships 10 -15 Year’s Plus Ended Because Of A Few Dollars Or Out Of Desperation Or Even Just Hard Times. Life For Some People They Have Never Had A lot Some Like Myself. So When They Start To Get Their Chance Or Make The Money You Always Dreamed Of You Tend To Become Money Hungry. The Thing That Restores Them Is Time Watching As The Money Still Remains Just As It Is Paper. Greed Can Only Be Subsided Be Time , When You Realize You Can’t Leave With It It’s Just Tool For Your Utilization.
What did suffering teach you that success never could?
Suffering Has Taught Me To Be , Fearless To Always Be Ready To Take A Risk. Because No Matter What You Do In This Life You Must Take A Risk With Everything Good Or Bad. Sometimes It’s Okay Not To Want To Take A Risk Or A Gamble. But What I Have Learned About That Is When You Avoid One Fear There Will Be 10 More Risk For You To Take. So It’s Better To Turn Around Instead Of Runaway From Your Demons. Don’t Let The Fear Of Failure Hold You Back From A Live You Can Have And Always Dreamed Of.
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. Is the public version of you the real you?
Of Course Not , Nobody’s Ever There True Self Especially The Public Version Of Themselves. And I Mean That In A Way Where It’s You Don’t Act How You Would If You Were Home. You Change Up Your Mood And Attitude To Bend Into The Mix Of Life. Whether It Be Your Work , Career , For Some People It Maybe There Love Life As Well. But I Believe No One Is The Same As They Truly Could Be , Where All Wearing A Mask To Hide Our True Face And If You Saying You Don’t You Have Already Lied To Yourself
Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: What do you think people will most misunderstand about your legacy?
That My Legacy Is More Then Just A Legacy It’s Purpose. I Wouldn’t Even Just Say Purpose It’s A Purpose And A Drive To Not Only Go Beyond Your Limits But To Really Live Your Live The Way You Want It To Be. A Legacy For Me Is Just A Standing Point , Basically Saying I Not Only Lived It I Was It . I Was The Brand , I Was The Culture , I Was The Mood. I Was Everything I Said I Was Gonna Be. Because I Didn’t Stop I Just Kept Going.
