Thank you so much for sitting down with us again. For folks who might have missed our initial interview, can you start by briefly introducing yourself?
What’s going on! My name is Naye Songz and I am originally from South Memphis, TN but Atlanta had a hand in raising me. I would like to consider myself a young entertainment mogul in the making. I am a Television/ Film producer, singer-songwriter, and I own a few businesses including a lifestyle apparel brand and a video production company.
How did you get your idea or concept for the business?
I own several businesses so when it comes to creating concepts, I usually have to be in a really good head space and around some of my closes friends and sometimes we will just start bouncing ideas off each other. Like some of the my business concepts were a no-brainer. For example, I always knew I wanted to be in the music/television and film industry so it only made sense to create a media production company that I could house my projects under.
When it came to my lifestyle apparel brand, that was something that just came to me one day. Sometimes, my little brother calls me Naye Sizzle and he always hypes me up, so his energy would have me vibing like yeah you already know it’s sizzle szn. Like anytime I would go get a fresh haircut from my barber, Roberto Palmer; it just had me feeling myself lol. So then I would really get into that sizzle szn mentality. The Sizzle Szn mentality is having the confidence to walk into any season of your life, no matter the situation or circumstances and declare that it is STILL your winning season. Having that mindset helped me create our brand slogan which is Start Strong, Stay Strong, Finish Strong. After creating the brand and the foundation for the brand, I felt like it was something that I needed to share with the world. To be honest, it was never about selling clothes, but it was about selling motivation. Selling a message that could literally inspire people the moment they read and see the slogan.
How has being an entrepreneur affected your family life?
Man I’m not even gone lie to you. Being an entrepreneur will have you out here feeling isolated sometimes. It’s like everybody say they want to help but really don’t end up helping. Everybody want stuff for free and discounted and it’s just not a way to win. Like I can remember times when I would become frustrated with my wife because I felt she wasn’t helping me the way I needed her too. That would make me become distant with her because it made me feel like she didn’t believe in the brand like that. Sometimes I would get home from work and I would spend most of my time talking about the brand to her or creating some mock-ups and social media content for the brand, which was starting to become overwhelming. I literally had moments of like just wanting to give up the brand completely because I felt like I wasn’t getting the help and support I needed to make the brand work.
I had been praying and it’s like I had a breakthrough moment and that helped me to stop feeling a certain type of way towards my wife when it came to our brand. I had to realize that there are a lot of things that she wants to help with but don’t really know how to help with it or have time to help with it because she had her own personal things going on. At the end of the day, I had to realize that nobody was going to go harder for the brand than me so I had to push through.
What goals do you have for your company?
When it comes to Sizzle Szn, I want the brand to become a staple in the world. I want the message behind the brand to speak to so many people that it just begins to motivate people in so many different ways. I want Sizzle Szn to be a lifestyle and I want it to help transform the mindset of others.
How do you generate new ideas?
I try to keep up with what’s trending in the world and create my own trend from that.
