We had the good fortune of connecting with FengShui Jimmi and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi FengShui, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
Thank you for having me. The success behind my Musical Artistry, Fengshui Jimmi is LOVE. Love is the key component of how I built my brand Mooney Enterprise as well. It is the essence of who I am as a person and it has been the driving force throughout my life to become better and greater. Mooney Enterprise was created to give opportunities for light to shine on people who in no other way would receive it; to spread awareness on these gifts and talents of people who need it the most. Mooney Enterprise is the company that I needed growing up, and Feng Shui Jimmi is the musical artist that I needed to listen to growing up. I grew up low-class in Baltimore, Maryland with a single mother and younger sister, so there was not always a feeling of love present with the entire house yearning for the presence of a Father figure in the home. Often times I found myself acting as the glue not only in my house, but my entire family, as well as on sports teams in neighborhood programs.
Meeting my now wife in 2020 opened my eyes and spirit to understand that I had been on a lifelong journey to find this love that I always felt was missing and the entire time the thing I was looking for was within me. I started Mooney Enterprise to offer consultations to artists, athletes, entrepreneurs, & content creators who need to showcase themselves within their own business or through their social media presence. Aspiring superstars that are having trouble identifying what they are good at, and how to monetize doing what they LOVE to do.
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.
I’m excited to announce I have put an entire album together that’s out now on all major streaming platforms including; Apple Music, Tidal, and Spotify. My debut album, titled LA To The Moon, takes listeners on a journey through my transition into artistry, my love journey finding and marrying my wife, and moving across the country from Baltimore to Los Angeles. Search “Fengshui Jimmi” or “LA To The Moon”, I have a couple features on there as well from a singer name MandieX & my Wife Rosay. I’m honestly most proud of that right now with me being an Independent artist signed to Equity Music Distribution company, the founders are a few executives from Roc Nation. Professionally being an influencer on Instagram brought me these opportunities.
I was introduced to social media at 13 years old, and after years of evolving and gaining confidence, I embarked on a journey with my wife and it led me to this deal with EQ. It’s a distribution deal so there is still a lot more work to be done, but for a kid out of Baltimore who grew up only being taught education and sports, I am honored to say I am an artist with music available to the public, and actually growing a fan base. I am 100% self-taught in music, through countless hours of listening to legendary Rap artists such as: Jay-Z, Kanye, and Lil Wayne, mixed with 70’s 80’s, and 90’s R&B from Michael Jackson to the Temptations, to Earth, Wind & Fire, I was able to identify my own voice just by trying to sound like the greats I heard on the radio and in the parties. I would sing any chance I got in the comfort of my own room or in the shower, or in the car. Any chance I could get to just drown myself in the music, I would take it. It seemed better to just imagine myself in the booth with my favorite artist, than to be wherever I was at the time. I never imagined that anyone would take me seriously as an artist growing up in Baltimore and not gravitating to the street lifestyle, its not common for people to make it in music – especially rap.
I have overcome challenges of self-doubt and lack of support, I have lost relationships with people that meant the most to me, I gave up a life in Corporate America – making what some would say was a decent life for myself – and I transitioned into a brand new space with very little resources and knowledge of the industry I was moving toward. I have been laughed at, mocked, disrespected along the way, there have been days where I do not have any money to provide food for my wife and I but through all of it I always kept faith that God has a purpose for all of this. I gave up everything I ever knew, in order to become an artist and pursue this dream. That is something I had to learn by taking step by step, day by day along this journey. I am most proud of my resilience and commitment to not only my art, but maintaining and nurturing the love that God has brought me through my wife. That love is what makes Mooney Enterprise the company that every child needs. That love is what makes Feng Shui Jimmi artist that people all over the world need to hear. My art is about finding your true love, and living every moment as if you are happy that you get to experience life with that person. That is what I pray people take away from my brand and my story.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Wow, LA is lit. You cannot come here without seeing the Beach, a game of Baseball, & great eats.
I would first take them to a perfect breakfast spot named Sweet Chick Life, I would suggest the Blueberry Muffin Waffles Drizzled with a Lemon Glaze with an order of their Salted Caramel Chicken. The BEST chicken & waffles on the West Coast.
We would stay at JW Marriott Le Merigot Hotel so the next day we would enjoy great room service, drinks on the patio from their impeccable bar service while enjoying the beachfront views. Knowing my best friend they would have jet-lag and need a massage. I would book with LA’s Finest Touch where they provide aromatherapy & candle setup for each guest (separate rooms of course).
Once the third day arrived we would sight see around the hotel since it’s right on the Santa Monica Pier. The pier has a Roller coaster, Ferris wheel, amazing fair food, and the beach filled with great restaurants. You never know who we could see in Santa Monica… it is Hollywoood!
The next day approaches & we would be ready to jump back in the car and sight see! A ride through Hollywood, Beverly Hills, & up the interstate for a hike up the Topanga Lookout Trail it has an amazing view at the top that overlooks the Calabasas mountings & scenic LA views with paintings on the trails and stair tops that surround you. A quick after workout stop at Kreation Organic Juicery in Beverly Hills across from the infamous mall the Beverly Center… the stars are always near!
I hear America’s favorite sport is a day at the ball game! Baseball coming right up. We’d catch a game at the Dodger Stadium which is perfect for this fall weather here in August. Go Dodgers! This fifth day would be complete and filled with great baseball views, a perfect sunset, & drinks & food in plastic Dodger hats!
The sixth day approaches & we’re ready for a cool down. The beach isn’t enough when you travel sometimes, so why not set sail on a Chic Tiki inspired Yacht on the Marina Del Rey ocean shores that surround California. Californians know this is a dream come true, online its only $80 per person. Floating on the ocean on any day sounds amazing. We would be fully prepared with fruit, foods, and wine from Amazon Fresh to enjoy while we put our feet up and set sail on the California Coast. If we didn’t want the night to end from feeling the coast we would wind down at one of my favorite coastal cafes “Great White” in Venice.
Ending this week long trip off with a drink on the patio of the hotel listening to FengShui Jimmi.
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Being an artist many things deserves recognition in my story. Even though love wasn’t always felt during my time at Lincoln University (The HBCU Sean & Beyonce’ Carter donated to.) receiving my Bachelors with neighborhood friends or at Stevenson University receiving my Masters back in my home time with my family or in Corporate America feeling the most unappreciated, how could I not mention those things? School, my Family, & my past journeys deserve a little credit, but the person who I want to Shoutout and give recognition to My story is My Wife Jasmine “Rosay” Mooney. Since we have met, the love that she has poured into me and my dream has pulled me out of my “pain body” – as described in Will Smith’s new book titled WILL – and allowed me to fully embrace the love and freedom it takes to be a true artist. My relationship with my wife is the anchor to my artistry, the love I pour into her is equally and sometimes overwhelming reciprocated in a way that allows me to be transparent and stand my divine power as a man. She has facilitated conversations that helped me understand and decipher events that occurred in my life and to dissect my emotions and how those situations potentially altered my way of thinking growing up, which make for great music.
