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

Hi Jonathan, we’d love to start by asking you about lessons learned. Is there a lesson you can share with us?
In order to thrive in your line of expertise you must be you

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I am JonathanJustin, and I feel Like I’ve been building who I am all my life. Since I was five years old, I started singing in the church and getting recognized at theaters as main characters for broadway plays. Some to mention are the “nutcracker” and “little shop of horrors.” I am a solo artist and because of my artistic functuay, I have created my own handbag and skincare line along the way. What I want people to know is that life is not a timer but an experience. Do what you can when you feel it! I want the world to know I’m a survivor of my art.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I love the grocery store you can always find fresh food to cook which is great . I love visiting nature and having zen moments with friends, I overall like progressive action.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I have a good friend named Janice Dickinson, she mentored me along the lines of fashion. Cynthia from Pasadena dance company for believing in me and my good friend Beth and Janiece who continue to support me like a family !
