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

Hi Its, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
When I started to work with & model for these Brands “businesses” as an Artist. I realized that “IT’S JAWN” is a brand as well. So it just started organically & plus I just like doing cool shit that my 16yr self would be hyped on.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
MY STORY IS A HERO STORY. IVE SKATEBOARDED MOST OF MY LIFE. SEEING THE WORLD DIFFERENT. BEING IN MY OWN WORLD. ONCE I BROKE MY LEG & WASN’T ABLE TO SKATE. IT OPENED UP MY MIND TO WHAT I COULD DO CREATIVELY. AND THATS WHEN I STARTED MAKING MUSIC. MAKING CLOTHES. AND MODELING. AND MY MIND HAD NO LIMITS TO WHERE I COULD GO.

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.
IVE BEEN PRETTY BUSY HAVING SHOOTS DURING THE WEEK. BUT WHEN I HAVE A FREE DAY TO RELAX AND SHOW MY FRIEND AROUND L.A. WE WOULD GO SKATE & HANGOUT AT VENICE. EAT SOME FRESH CUT FRUIT FROM THE VENDORS. SO THEY COULD EXPERIENCE THE BEACH AND PEOPLE WATCHING. THERE IS ALOT OF WEIRD STUFF TO SEE DOWN THERE. THEN I WOULD HEAD TO DOWNTOWN LA TO “COMFORT L.A” I SWEAR THEY HAVE THE BEST WINGS. YOU HAVE TO TRY IT WITH THE SAUCE. ITS A MUST HAVE! THEN WE WOULD HEAD TO “L.A SKATE CLUB” WHICH IS AN INDOOR SKATEPARK CREATIVE HEADQUARTERS OF PRO SKATEBOARDER JOEY BREZINSKI. TO GET A LITTLE SKATE SESSION IN . THEN FINISH THE NIGHT MAKING MUSIC AT A STUDIO ALL NIGHT.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I WANT TO SHOUTOUT MYSELF. FOR GETTING UP EVERY DAY TRYING TO MAKE THE MOST OUT OF THE DAY. AND FOR LEANING ON MY SUPER POWERS WHEN TIMES WERE ROUGH TO GET TO WHERE I AM TODAY. AND MY PARENTS FOR CREATING ME SO I WOULD BE ABLE TO CREATE IN THIS WORLD.
