Meet Emoshun Campbell | Creative/ lowkey chemist

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

Hi Emoshun, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
My pursuit for a Artistic/Creative career is because it’s something i feel like I’m meant to do.

All my life from what i can remember from young , i always wanted to be a singer. As i grew older i started taking other interest in the creative world that still supported my career . Whether it was producing shows for artist of all kinds, building a business making & selling natural products . I knew whatever i did creatively weather it’s through my music and or business it had to be influential, inspiring, healing , and of help.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I started my creative business at the age of 21. I was a new college grad and felt like I can take on the world, lol. I was traveling between New York, Atlanta, and LA going to auditions for shows and musicals, and either I would get a callback or hear a hard “NO” because I didn’t look the parts I would audition for and or sound like the character. After months of auditioning and feeling defeated and being some what close to homeless because of traveling so much just to “CATCH MY BREAK” I finally settled back in my hometown Brooklyn, New York back with family, sleeping on the couch. I was at my breaking point because I just wasn’t getting it, why no one would pick me ?! I sat long and hard with myself and god praying for wisdom, strength, and courage to push forward. One day an opportunity fall in my lap, I had the opportunity to use a venue space to do whatever I wanted to do, I decided to produce a show, not just any show but a show for artists of all kinds. It was not an easy road, THE STRUGGLE WAS REAL!!! Lol, I invested so much, time energy, blood, sweat, and tears literally. I wanted to be the best, my own personal best. I wanted to create my own yes and give the opportunity for others to hear yes. It was so much that try to tear my business and I down. People whom I thought would support me didn’t, money at times was low because I wasn’t that knowledgeable at the time of making sure I get my llc for my business some one even stole the name and the entire show. I figured it out though. I made some adjustments and even changed the name, implemented more than just having my show just a show. I wanted it to be a creative business. I renamed it “THE JUNGLE 718” LLC, it’s in representation of Jay’z and Alicia keys. Quote “a concrete jungle where dreams are made of” The jungle 718 llc is an umbrella for creativity of all kinds, I produce shows, give creative therapy sessions, and make & sell organic body products. What makes me most proud is that I have a legitimate creative business that is bicoastal and it’s really dedicated to artist.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I’m a Pisces and i love , love , love the beach & so does my best friend. We would definitely head to Santa Monica beach . It have everything needed , food, drinks , entertainment.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Wow. I wish i can put multiple things/ people/ & places down for a shoutout. I’ll say a group… the healing group, something i made up but, more of what’s definitely needed in this world. Everyone have they own practice and belief in this world but , i give BIG CREDIT to GOD & MY FAMILY. These two key things are a major stable in my life mentally & physically .
