Meet 3xTheShooter | Content Creator & Drone Operator

We had the good fortune of connecting with 3xTheShooter and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi 3x, is there a quote or affirmation that’s meaningful to you?
most of the most meaningful quotes to me come from my idols Kobe Bryant &/or Nipsey Hussle.
“Instead of trying to build a brick wall, lay a brick every day. Eventually, you’ll look up and you’ll have a brick wall. – Nipsey Hussle”
“Rest at the end, not the middle” – Kobe Bryant
I’m a huge fan of the Nipsey Hussle & Mamba Mentality school of thought. Most of their quotes are usually about dedication, hard work, & never quitting. This type of energy has always really spoke to me. Kobe and Nipsey both spoke frequently about life’s challenges, turning losses into lessons, & never taking no for an answer.
“Life is a marathon” – Nipsey
“It’s not the destination its the journey” – Kobe
I love these types of quotes because life is always going to challenge when you east expect it, and they remind me to stay quick on my feet, be willing to out work anyone, and to focus on being better than I was the day before.
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.
What makes my art unique is that I feel I have a unique eye for story telling, capturing the culture, & raw emotion. My story, the city I come from, and my experience creating content set me apart from other creators.
I’ve been a content creator since before the term existed back when we used to HTML code our Myspace pages. Kids would pay me to design their Myspace pages, add music, video/picture edits and more. My relationship with creating content is very unique. I modeled and acted as a kid, I used to code and build websites, I’m a life long musician, beat maker, sound engineer, photographer, videographer, and FAA licensed drone operator/pilot. So when you book me to bring your vision to life my creative eye is all encompassing. I’m envisioning how the content will look on your website, I’m visualizing angles and shots I want both from the sky and ground, lighting techniques, & sound design to match.
Like Nipsey said “I’m an anomaly in my space, the way I exist is unique”. The city i’m from & and what I’ve been thru, I’m supposed to be a statistic, dead, or locked up. I’ve been an EMT/Ambulance Operator, Community Health Promoter, Wok Chef, Mental Health First Aid Instructor, and for the last 5 years I’ve been re-creating and re-branding myself as a Content Creator.
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Food spots are always numero uno on the list!
1. Bossa Nova’s – The vibes, the ambiance, the food. YES
2. Leo’s Taco truck 1515 S La Brea ( best tacos in LA thank me later)
3. Serving Spoon 1403 Centinela Ave & Hilltop 170 North La Brea (2 local home team spots I frequent often
1. Leimert Park (Gotta culture you)
2. Market Street (Downtown Inglewood)
3. Adidas “The DO Over LA” (I’m a huge fan of daytime drinking)
Other than that I’m a big homebody, I feel like no one needs to be out in clubs and bars every weekend wtf are yall celebrating? I’d rather chase a bag or teach myself a new skill than go out.
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Man, I hate to sound cliche because everyone probably says this but my Mom has been the most influential person to my life and business. As a kid I watched her get it out the mud on her own, I watched her manifest her dreams until they became reality. I watched her spend countless nights teaching herself how to code, design, & build websites. Before that I watched her run a very successful photography and modeling agency in the early 90’s that led to her working with Dr. Dre and NWA, Snoop Dogg and more. She’s also responsible for gifting me my first camera, encouraging me to walk away from being a career EMT/paramedic to chase my dream of being a self employed content creator. She’s my wise-head when i need advice, family shaman, spiritual guide, road dog, all in all shes pretty amazing and I wouldn’t be here today without her love and support thru all of this. Shoutout to Mamma T! Love you times infinity!
