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

Hi Theo, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
I feel like risk are the only way to succeed in life’s journey. You know the saying no risk no reward. Risk have got me to the places i wanted to be at in life. It also has brought me to LA to pursue a dream. I have faith in every risk i take just because i know i am going to put in the work to make every risk count. i love the pressure that comes with taking risk, i love the small amount of fear that comes with risk it gets me going

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Theo Dolce, a multi-talented artist from Philadelphia, has established himself as a prolific musician and executive producer. With nine solo projects under his belt and two executive productions to his name, Theo’s creative endeavors continue to captivate audiences.

The journey was not easy ive lost studios due to people giving up on the dream, ive lost a relatioship with my childs mother after 12 years of being together. It has made me stronger in the end. Ive also learned that sometimes the journey is solo and everybody cant come with you. Sometimes you have to be selfish to get yourself where you need to be. Getting through challenges are easy when you have faith and confidence in yourself while having a relationship with god.

my brand MYNDOFMYOWN is self explanatory giving people the opportunity to be theirselves unapologetically . Not letting the norms of life keep you stagnant

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
So since im new to california we would be figuring things out together lol. i would take them to the monuments of course like hollywood walk of fame. Nipsey’s Store, craig and smokeys block from friday lol along with a host of rooftops downtown where ive been staying. oh i would definitely take them to stations on a monday night
