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

Hi Will, what do you want people to remember about you?
To inspire others by putting in the hard work it takes to achieve their goals and to be that person that gave it all.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I am a street wear brand/owner located in the San Fernando Valley. I started doing pop-ups at many different events and locations at the early stages of my journey. As I hustled my way up the ladder with consistency, hard work and determination gave me an opportunity to connect with many celebrities like B-real, Ray J, Daz Dillinger, Compton Av, KK from 2nd to none, Mellow Man Ace and many others that wear my brand. I had a chance to collaborate with Big Boy from 92.3 the real and created an anthem for Blasto Street Wear with Compton AV. One of the best accomplishments was being able to open my own storefront in the city of Arleta. Nothing came easy with late nights and early mornings. I want people to know that anything is possible as long as you put in the time and effort.

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?
I would take them to local car shows and hip hop events because during these events you can meet alot of cool people with good vibes.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would like to shout out the hip hop and low rider community who has been a big influence on my journey.
