Meet 6Two Cory

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to 6Two Cory. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

6Two , so great to have you with us today. There are so many topics we want to ask you about, but perhaps the one we can start with is burnout. How have you overcome or avoided burnout?

For me to overcome being burnt out i try to revamp my talents as much as i can. Because i am a musician i have different avenues for this such as changing my melodies, cadence, or overall trying different genres of music to try. For others i would advice just trying to keep everything fun. It’s hard to get burn out on something if you’re having fun.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

I’m originally from the North side of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I started my music journey with the trumpet in the 3rd grade. I went on to win multiple competitions around the city which lead me to be trained by one of the most influential black trumpet players in the Midwest “Craig Johnson”. Along with the trumpet i then picked up other instruments such as the guitar, drum set and piano. I started rapping and songwriting at the age of 13 and managed to land a song on the radio by the age of 16. Being a local success i graduated high school to set out and purse music. To further my career i moved to Los Angeles where i then ventured off into acting and screen writing as well as the music. As of now i have been in such national commercials such as, Swiffer, Honda and McDonald’s and TV series such as “Angel” and “Bev is Boss”. Also advancing my music career with having 2 records on NBA 2K23 “Movie” & “Hustle” and also promoting my new single “Nightcap” & “Thinking About You” which has had major radio success thus far.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

3 quality skills that was most impactful for me was first, keep the Faith. Faith may not seem like a skill to some but it’s definitely something you have to keep working on and improve throughout life. My Faith has helped me out of the most darkest situations. If your feel you Faith is low then work on believing in yourself first and everything else will fall in place. Life is already planned for us all we are just living the process. The second skill that was most impactful for me was the skill of forgiving. I feel the easier you can forgive and let, the less bad energy you have on your shoulders for what ever your forgiving. The third skill i would say was most impactful for me is the skill of consistency. Staying consistent applies to any and everything in life no matter what. A inconsistent person is someone that’s not trusted by many because they fail to stay around or keep going long enough to be trusted by anyone. The advice i would give anyone that’s early in there journey is to not listen to anyone besides your Soul. If it’s heard for to hear or listen to your Soul or what God is trying to tell you then you probably have to many distractions around you.

What do you do when you feel overwhelmed? Any advice or strategies?

When i feel overwhelmed i have a couple techniques that I use. One technique goes back to the first question where I was talking about Faith. Faith is like a skill set. You need to keep on improving and working on for moments like this where you feel overwhelmed sometimes we are overwhelmed. You have to have that faith in order to keep you going another thing I would say if you feel overwhelmed, they just know that everything happens like it’s supposed to happen so if it didn’t happen, it wasn’t for you and if it’s happening, it is for you.
