Today we’d like to introduce you to Alvin G.
So, before we jump into specific questions, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
When a mommy loves a daddy, a stork brings them a baby, and that’s where my story began. Reared in Mississippi, I was always influenced by southern hip-hop in every aspect. My love for music grew rapidly and I started writing rhymes in 6th grade. Inspired by Weird Al Yankovic, I created a plethora of parodies which spilled over into me writing actual content. A decade later, I find myself on my cousin’s couch in ATL trying to pursue a prominent career in music and acting.
Has it been a smooth road?
The road has definitely not been easy. In between adolescence and finding myself, I’ve been through some trying times. Moving from Mississippi to ATL, couch hopping was no fun. I was at a good job in MS making $24/hr at the time just to come to ATL and Uber and make tacos for 8.50/hr. Recently, I’ve had a newborn, my first son and it’s been a struggle finding balance in my household between providing financially, physically and emotionally for him and my fiancée. There have been many days where meals have been skipped out of necessity. The cost of living was a big shift for me.
We’d love to hear more about your work and what you are currently focused on. What else should we know?
I’m Alvin G, an entertainer. I rap, act, dance and occasionally stand up comedy. I’m most passionate about rap & acting. I set myself apart from others with my humility. I’m very much into philanthropy. I love helping people in any way I can. I have genuine love and respect every human being and my personality exudes the love I have for everyone.
Is our city a good place to do what you do?
ATL is the BEST city do anything in. Great market and culture here. Plenty of opportunity for Abby and every brand. Literally, the busiest city in the world accredited to the airport. People are always in and out ready to take a piece of ATL with them to their next destination.
