We recently connected with CJ Brewer and have shared our conversation below.

CJ, so good to have you with us today. We’ve always been impressed with folks who have a very clear sense of purpose and so maybe we can jump right in and talk about how you found your purpose?

I found my purpose through exploring the things that bring me the most joy! That’s how I ended up pursuing music so consistently. I always loved the feeling I’d get during and after a great performance, so much so that it would motivate me to prepare for future shows and events! If life is an ocean and you are the ship, your purpose should be like a compass that guides you toward the shores that bring the most happiness and fulfillment.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?

I’m a professional singer and guitarist who specializes in live entertainment for events. Most of my work is done collaboratively with clients who hire me for the most important moments and celebrations in their lives. I perform at weddings, corporate parties, and around venues and festivals in my community to uplift and inspire others!

Occasionally, I’ll also assist other musicians with consultations, recording and production, and sound engineering during live shows.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

First, I’d say definitely work on your communication! You have to be understandable, relatable, genuine, and fun to work with! Curiosity is another important quality – I believe everyone has something to teach us, and you always have to be willing to learn from others. Finally, I’d say learning accountability is just as important as the other qualities I mentioned. Being able to follow through on commitments is huge for making progress and getting work done!

The best way to develop these skills is to show up as consistently as you can for yourself and others everyday! For me, this started with journaling at least once a week. Then, it evolved into going to the gym. Being able to maintain healthy habits consistently, allows you to show up as your best self for others when needed!

One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?

I absolutely love coordinating and collaborating with vendors, event planners, couples, and booking agents who have a clear vision of the entertainment they’re looking for, and who see that vision in what I can provide! My favorite part of onboarding and getting to know new clients who need me for live music is planning out exactly what the day and performance will entail. Seeing the spark, drive, and joy in people’s eyes when bringing ideas to life is a special kind of joy that will never get old to me.
