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

Hi Suave, how do you think about risk?
I don’t live in fear. I’m not afraid of failure and for that reason, I love risk taking. I’ve learned one cannot achieve anything without taking a leap of faith and taking a risk. My mentality has always been “go hard or go home”. I have taken a lot of losses pursuing music, as I put my own money up. However, I understand this is part of the process, and every penny I touch goes into my music. I pay for studio time, mixing, mastering, music videos, photoshoots, cover art, and marketing. At this point, I know it its an investment. I enjoy going to the drawing board and mapping out a plan; everything is strategic. I encourage everyone to be a risk taker because the worst feeling is living in regret.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
The main thing that sets me apart from others is that I’m a business man first, and then an artist. I know about the music business from top to bottom. I’m most proud of the fan base I’ve created. I started making music when I was 13, and I’ve come a long way since those days. Being an artist has taught me a lot about being patient and consistent. Most recently, these last 5 months, I’ve been consistently putting out music. it’s a good feeling to have people from all over the world rocking with my art. To get where i am today was definitely not easy, a lot of sleepless nights, setbacks and losses in the process. I also lost a lot of close friends pursuing music. I overcame challenges that came my way by staying true to myself and keeping my eyes on the prize. The biggest lesson I learned is to not force anything, strangers will support you and want you to win over friends and family that knew you your whole life. I realize nobody cares about your dreams and goals unless it’s beneficial to them. The story I want the world to know is that every challenging time will strengthen you. We all go through things but how you react and overcome the situation is what matters.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I dedicate my shout-out to God. I wouldn’t be the person I am today without him. Through every storm he has made a way for me, and for that, I’m forever thankful. Also, I would like to take this opportunity to dedicate a shout-out to my family and friends that have been supporting my music journey. Everytime I feel like giving up on music they encourage me to keep pushing.
