Conversations with Supjewelz

Today we’d like to introduce you to Supjewelz.

Hi supjewelz, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I’ve always been creative and drawn to creativity. I’ve always loved art, whether it’s a painting or architecture, even design. I can’t paint you a picture, but I can make the soundtrack to it. I’ve always been around music. I grew up with music, from playing drums in bands to playing in choir. Music and creativity were always encouraged when I was younger. I was writing songs with my mom before I knew song structure. I learned instrumentation and active listening with my dad playing bass or listening to different songs before I knew that was actually a skill.



Before I started collaborating and working with artists, I was doing and making heavy dubstep and electronic music, playing festivals and shows in Atlanta and Tennessee. I never liked being put in a box or making one thing, and I’ve always let my curiosity be the guide, so when something stops being fun, take what you learn and move to the next thing. That exposure to so many genres from gospel to jazz, heavy metal, to dance music, to rap, even classical stuff, being able to pull references from so many genres just helps even more with how I work now. It’s like Legos; the individual pieces might be small or you don’t always know how they fit together, and then after you start building for a while, you start to see how they all fit together, and if you’re lucky, every now and again, you start to see the full structure, even when it’s still under construction.

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?
Everyone has something they struggle with from one degree or another, and one severity to another. Honestly, the road is smooth when you’re moving in your purpose. I have a very clear idea of what I want to do and an even clearer idea of what I don’t, and I’ve been fortunate, really blessed honestly, to be able to just not deal with what I don’t want to deal with. Obstacles in my mind are temporary inconveniences, but my default personality is very relaxed anyway, so most things don’t bother me. It’s actually more impressive when they do because you really have to be working to get me out of this zen state.

Patience is something I’m constantly working through. My personality sees opportunities or something that excites me, and I’m all in: let’s go, how do we get to the next thing, and that time in-between annoys me. Maybe it’s my ADHD, but when you’re building something lasting with a solid foundation, that extra time is what makes it last. Nothing I work on is temporary.

The artists I work with and the people around me have been well curated to allow me to create and operate most efficiently, and with genuine connection. I don’t take it for granted, and because of this, I try to radiate and share that energy with everyone I interact with. Energy transfer is real, and when you operate off positivity, it finds its way back to you.

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I’m a music producer, which in turn means I wear a lot of hats. I think the thing that confuses people is that being a producer can mean so many things to different people that the term becomes a catch-all. Sometimes, I’m making beats or melodies; sometimes I’m engineering vocal sessions; sometimes I’m just sitting and talking with artists to find out what they’re up to. My favorite thing to do, especially when I’m working with someone new, is to just ask what they’re listening to. Put me onto what you like, play me something you hate; let’s be honest, we’ve all heard some good songs, and we’ve heard some songs that we have to question how and why this got made. But that’s important because it gives context. In my work, I thrive off context; sure, I can make a song, everybody can make a song, but what I’m trying to make is a luxury. I think that process of asking questions and trying to understand the artist’s world is the piece that excites people to work with me and then want others to then work with them as well. The two things that I am told on repeat are that artists like that I give feedback and that I can make a melody, and honestly, the best thing anyone can do, especially in creative fields, is want to hang out with you and continue to invite and tell others about you.

If people don’t wanna be around you, why would anyone want to invite you back?

So maybe we end on discussing what matters most to you and why?
Being of service, we are here to serve. The show isn’t about me; it’s about those I work with and helping to bring their vision to light. It’s hard because you want to showcase how much you can do or want to make the craziest thing, but then you have to balance it with restraint. Asking the question: is this going to best serve the artist?
