We had the good fortune of connecting with 5EYE5 and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi 5EYE5, what is the most important factor behind your success?
While there are many factors that have contributed to the success of 5EYE5, the biggest one has been consistency. Like the saying goes, “there are no shortcuts”; you have to do the work. It’s easier said than done, being passionate about what we do and surrounding ourselves with like-minded individuals has allowed our productivity to remain consistent. We love what we do so it never feels like work. A huge thank you to our supporters and our fans because without them, all our work would fall upon deaf ears.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
5EYE5 initially set out to dwell exclusively in the world of fashion, but soon expanded to a broader spectrum of creativity. We create the purest form of intellectual properties in our art that speaks to people from all walks of life. Our past endeavors and roles in the creative industry provided us with the knowledge to create 5EYE5. Like any other business, we have had hiccups along our journey but we are constantly learning. The team we’ve assembled with people of varying skillsets has allowed us to collectively overcome any challenges we’ve faced. We would like the world to know that 5EYE5 is a breath of fresh air in a heavily saturated market. Our attention to detail, diverse backgrounds, and ambition enables us to create art at the highest level for all to enjoy.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Long Beach is so diverse when it comes to leisure. We have just about every type of food you can imagine; parks, beaches, and trails for the nature lovers; a blossoming arts district; and a vivid nightlife. The choices are endless. If it were up to us though we’d probably take you deep into the city where you can find some of the best food at your local mom-and-pop shops. Then we’d show you around downtown so you could do some shopping, sight-seeing, and grab dessert. We’d probably grab some beers and hang by the beach or at a nice park with all of our closest friends. Loud music, great conversations, and a relaxed way to end the day. Party at night if you’re up to it.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
We want to dedicate this shoutout to the people of Long Beach, CA; the city in which 5EYE5 was founded. The locals, friends, family, all the first supporters who were there to provide in any way, shape, or form and allowed the brand to take off into what it is now. All the feedback, physical help, and love was the crutch we needed in order to get 5EYE5 on its feet so shoutout to them. Thank you, you all know who you are.
