Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Kyng Cylus. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Hi Kyng, we’re so appreciative of you taking the time to share your nuggets of wisdom with our community. One of the topics we think is most important for folks looking to level up their lives is building up their self-confidence and self-esteem. Can you share how you developed your confidence?
I developed my confidence and self-esteem over time by focusing on personal growth and self-awareness. I started by setting small, realistic goals for myself and celebrating each achievement, no matter how minor it seemed. I also learned to silence self-doubt by reminding myself of past successes and the value I bring to every situation. Surrounding myself with positive, supportive people and stepping outside my comfort zone regularly helped me grow even more. Confidence for me isn’t about being perfect; it’s about trusting my abilities and staying grounded in who I am, even when things are uncertain.
Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?
I’m KyngCylus, born and raised in Houston, Texas, where I discovered and developed my talents across the creative industries. My art is all about expression letting my voice tell my story through music and allowing myself to be seen through different lenses, whether that’s on the runway or behind the mic. I aim to create a real, raw atmosphere for young creatives a space where authenticity and individuality shine. My focus is to influence the world in the most positive and inspiring way possible, showing others that creativity has no limits and that your story is your power.
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
Looking back, the three qualities that have been most impactful in my journey are authenticity, consistency, and resilience.
Authenticity taught me to stay true to my vision and my story, no matter how different it might seem from what’s trending. When you’re genuine in your craft, people feel that energy it connects deeper than anything else.
Consistency kept me grounded. Whether I was working on new music, preparing for a show, or building my brand, showing up for myself every day made all the difference. Growth doesn’t happen overnight; it’s built through dedication and discipline.
And resilience that’s been everything. The creative industry comes with rejection, pressure, and moments of doubt, but learning to push through those challenges is what shapes you into something stronger and more intentional.
For anyone early in their journey, my advice would be ,don’t rush your process. Take time to learn, to fail, and to evolve. Stay consistent even when no one’s watching, stay authentic even when it’s not popular, and trust that your time will come when you’re aligned with your purpose.
Before we go, any advice you can share with people who are feeling overwhelmed?
When I start to feel overwhelmed, I take a step back and give myself space to breathe and reset. Sometimes that means disconnecting from everything for a bit no phone, no pressure, just time to be still and reconnect with myself. Music also plays a big part in how I release stress; whether I’m creating or just listening, it helps me center my emotions and find clarity.
I’ve learned that being overwhelmed doesn’t mean you’re failing it just means you’re human. My advice is to slow down and give yourself grace. Don’t be afraid to pause when you need to. The best ideas and the strongest comebacks often come after moments of stillness. Protect your peace, because that’s where your creativity and power really grow.
