Story & Lesson Highlights with Jônelle

We recently had the chance to connect with Jônelle and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Jônelle, thank you for taking the time to reflect back on your journey with us. I think our readers are in for a real treat. There is so much we can all learn from each other and so thank you again for opening up with us. Let’s get into it: What is a normal day like for you right now?
a normal day for me looks like me waking up and spending some time to myself before I go live on TikTok and create music from scratch

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I am a reggae singer song writer and producer and streamer. I go live everyday and create reggae music (mostly) from scratch. I cover my favourite songs or I create an original piece which is usually inspired by an old reggae classic

Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. Who were you before the world told you who you had to be?
I am the same person, I’ve just learned to love myself better in spite of what others think. my time here is about me and no one else

Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
I almost give up like every single day. it’s hard to pursue your dreams. you work tirelessly and barely see any results. I always have to talk myself out of just quitting and finding a “regular” job. but regular doesn’t fit me. so I just do what I gotta do because I know better is on the way

Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. What would your closest friends say really matters to you?
I think my closest friends would say that im real. and it’s always important that the truth be told. even if I don’t necessarily like what you have to say. the truth helps you to grow

Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. If you knew you had 10 years left, what would you stop doing immediately?
