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

Hi Ricasso, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Of course my main thought process is how I can express my myself through my business while staying original

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 have been doing music professionally for 4 years and I’m most excited about the unknown blessings unfolding for me I have some personal goals I need to execute but I’m working at those everyday. I over came obstacles mainly through my Religion and the ones I shouted out previously. I would love for the world to know my music is a true expression of myself

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?
Day 1 we have to eat I recommend “KK’s oh taste and see” in Moreno Valley , CA. Some of the best soul food I’ve had since moving.

Day 2 we go and hit the Raincross District in downtown riverside. It’s a dope consignment shop full of different vendors where you can purchase anything from clothes to unique art pieces made from local artist in the area.

Day 3 we hit downtown Riverside again but at night the strip is full of different bars and clubs also a 24 hr ramen restaurant in walking distance of all the activities

Day 4 we could hit Victoria gardens it’s a outside mall you could shop grab something to eat and find a group activity to do

Day 5 I’m not sure I’m really a home body

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Want to thank Rory, Isaiah, Jamarius, and Hannah. These are my siblings and they keep me motivated

My children Alex,Aliyah, and Myles they are my whole existence

My girlfriend Leilani who is also an amazing graphic designer is my backbone and structure to my process

I dedicate my determination to “Think Like A Monk” written by Jay Shetty it’s an amazing self help book I recommend
