Today we’d like to introduce you to Prince Finest.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
I’m from and grew up in Corona Queens, New York. I spent my high school days in Atlanta, Ga. Living in both places, I was focused to be around creativity and talent that’s how and why I fall in love with art. I’m a self-taught artist of many talents (producer, singer-writer, fashion designer, creative director). Music and fashion have always been a part of me ever since I could remember, so creating dope vibes and fits isn’t surprising but the reason why I do it might be… I started “Stay weird” a few years ago when I started hearing stories about kids and young adults committed suicide because they were getting bullied at school, at home and in life period and it made me sick to the stomach that all of these beautiful souls aren’t here with us anymore because they weren’t “Perfect” enough and they were “weird” to someone just because they couldn’t understand them or take the time to try too. So, I wanted to take something negative and turn it into something positive… something we can feel good about and be proud of. We are all weird to someone so we might as well be ourselves & be proud. That’s what “Stay Weird” means… be yourself, no matter what anyone has to say or think. You’re beautiful, smart, strong & WEIRD!!! We don’t try to be different to fit in, we are ourselves and we don’t care what people think, so that makes us different.
Great, 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?
Nothing is perfect and nothing comes easy, so, yes, it’s been a little struggle but it’s the beauty of it. Nothing comes easy, so I appreciate the good and bad cause it only makes you better not just a better artist/brand but a better person as well. I try to work hard but also smart at the same time & with me doing that and trying to master that it makes the road a little more smooth. I know a lot of people that work hard and they stress themselves out on doing so and it’s hard for them to understand why they’re hard work isn’t paying off… it’s simply because that’s all they are doing, working hard & not making smart moves for their hard work to be seen. The person that’s working hard and smart is doing twice as less work the person that’s only working hard. Not saying the person that only works hard isn’t or will never make it cause they will but it just might take a little longer.
Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about Stay Weird Clothing Brand – what should we know?
Stay weird is a brand known for allowing you to feel, act, think the way you want at any time you want. Prince Finest is known for creating the ocean so others can ride the wave. What makes me proud is seeing all the love and support the brand and myself been getting since we started. I’m set apart from others by simply being myself and staying true to me. Always remaining humble, blessed and always push the envelope and raise the bar every step of the way.
Is there a characteristic or quality that you feel is essential to success?
Staying true to yourself. Be a leader and never follow others or what others think is dope or hot at the time. Be ahead of the time and always think outside the box. The crazier, the better. Why follow a trend when you can be the one making them?
