Check Out Autumn Rainwater’s Story

Today we’d like to introduce you to Autumn Rainwater.

Autumn, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I started singing when I was very young. I was in chorus in school, praise and worship choir ministry at church and I also had a heavy musical influence within my family. I was very inspired by the blog and mixtape era, to the point where I started recording my first songs on a Gateway computer and USB gaming microphone. By 2012 I ended up meeting creatives in Charlotte over social media who were all trying to do the same thing; collaborating with them turned into my first mixtape and I’ve been an artist ever since.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It never is, I don’t think being a creative of any kind would ever be smooth. Ha! Being human and being a creative simultaneously is an interesting thing to experience because you can get in your own way on either side. I think obstacles can be a creative’s right of passage though.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I’m most known for singing but I song-write, rap, and vocally produce. I have a shopping problem that’s evolved into styling independent and industry artists for music videos and magazines. I have written articles for charlotte’s local culture magazine about local black creatives. I have also held fashion shows in collaborations with retail companies and have curated events from project releases to creative writing workshops. I’m so proud of everything I’ve done and lord willing, I’ll do more! I don’t know if it’s what sets me apart but I’m just always myself and I feel like that is the best thing that you can be as a creative.

Risk taking is a topic that people have widely differing views on – we’d love to hear your thoughts.
I think releasing original music can be considered taking a risk because there’s a level of vulnerability there, you’re letting people into your mind and heart space. Big risk! Worth it though. I think that I could take more risks.
I’m way more open to it these days. They say you have to be a little delulu to make anything work! Being delulu is just a Gen Z way of having faith! And what’s risk without faith?
