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

Hi Alpha, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Honestly, there was no thought process or plan. It was a burning seed that was placed on the inside of me, that couldn’t go away until I started. My passion for people and art were the leading inspirations, and gifts I feel God gave me. Once I started, and built the foundation on my “why” and the motivations behind starting “The Blessed Imagination” all the other things came easy.

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.
To start off, I am very ecstatic to share “The Blessed Imagination” with the world! It started off as an album themed idea that me and my brother Theo Lee had birthed a couple years ago when we were sleeping on bunkbeds at our friend’s grandmas house. To now seeing the vision come into fruition is insane, being a platform of freedom to really allow people to imagine and to pull the artistic gifts out of everybody.

I strongly believe that everyone was born to be an artists, because we were created by the greatest artist of all time! But unfortunately, the spirit of comparison and imposter syndrome could really blind people of realizing the gifts and anointing they have. I don’t really view the Blessed Imagination as a business but more of a family, who supports and encourage everyone in their journeys. Based in Los Angeles, we curate different artistic events from concerts, poetry/painting nights, comedy nights, dinners, nature hikes, and even just hangouts!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
First off shoutout my best friend for coming to one of the greatest cities in the world! I would take them to Anderson .Paak jazz bar in West Hollywood, grab a bite and enjoy some good music.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I need to dedicate this to my village of friends, my marvel of musicians, photographers, and videographers who really support this brand and vision!
