Meet Jayden Eastman

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Jayden Eastman a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Jayden, thanks for sharing your insights with our community today. Part of your success, no doubt, is due to your work ethic and so we’d love if you could open up about where you got your work ethic from?

My work ethic comes from years of dedication and never giving up. Its waking up and just doing the one thing you enjoy doing and never forcing creativity. Forming a habit of trying and trusting the process. Things might not always work and get lost in a vault of creations. Though there’s days were things do work and it usually comes from days where inspiration lacks and the creations do their true job of rekindling inspiration. It’s like sports you do good once and that feeling of achieving something great in the things you appreciate keeps you going. I pretty much mainly did my research and contacted people on a limb and brought as much of my creativity and ideas to the conversation. When people have similar ideals and goals those are the ones who tend to keep that company around. When things work something great happens and it makes me personally feel that motivation to continue working hard at what I love to do. It stems from not having anything and accepting the bare minimum knowing that there’s no where else to go besides better and higher elevated heights in whatever is set to be achieved.

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?

I make music typically Rap Hip-Hop, though some turn out to fall into other genres. It’s been a dream of mine for some time to work with some of the people I’ve been able to work with along the years which has been quite exciting. My brand is all about lifting others up who see and live through the worst along side seeing a single person get through it effortlessly. Eventually I do want to do what most churches should be doing and taking 10% of my earning to give back to communities once a sustainable income becomes established in the near future. I plan on launching my own Record Label using my stage name UNKNOWN EMINENCE so those who I’ll sign in the future gain just as much exposure and are essentially crowned by linking my name as a sign of respect for their craft. From there I have connections and plans to launch a new brand I won’t talk about much in this interview which would further benefit artists around the United States even the common man and women of America. I would like to finish a project I did start however though there’s a lot of backwork to complete before something like that can official launch. In the meantime I do have a couple projects dropping in July 2025 both singles one called “Maze” composed by Grammy nominated producer Wyshmaster Beats also known as Adam. “Maze” Dropping July 7 2025. The other Called “Chop Thug” which is a little different then most styles and featuring Krayzie Bone. Sould be on platforms on my birthday July 22nd. Expect more drops in the future I still have tons of contracts to go through for beats and features along with other finished and unfinished projects. Looking forward to sharing them with you all can’t wait to complete my bigger business projects and plans for the new years to pass.

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

Stay consistent! Ignore others opinions and own your level of ability. Do that and nothing will get to you on your journey. Learn everything you can, mixing, mastering, recording, writing, and I mean everything. It’s not about saving money. It’s all about mastering the skills on your own so you understand enough to guide the teams and professionals you work with in the future. It would be ashame to walk into a studio and not being able to help the process. Make your craft you like I did, and don’t twist that. My works showcase my ability to make art with little resources and little to no support. I use my resources, and plan my work flow to meet personal set deadlines. From the cover arts, to the song creation process, and getting everything right with publishing. It’s not easy work until you get into the habbit of doing things right. My best advice for others starting off would be if you get contracts speaking on lease agreements, Features, or anything! Ensure you use your resources. Ensure you get all information right with the parties you work with even when it’s just one off things or long lasting relationships. Take every opportunity big or small seriously and professionally. Even when working with independent musicians, and or professional note worthy creatives. You might not see a whole lot besides what? Friends? Family? Take those away and know where your views come from. Them few 100 -1000 streams of unknown streams are the most important in this career field. You never know who’s watching. Could be investors. Could be record labels. Could even be elites. Don’t ever sell yourself short and you’ll get as much out of it as you put in. Bonus if you start putting God first in everything and you’ll receive 10 fold of that effort back in things that will help you excel. This job isn’t for the weak sadly though. Expect to starve, cry, be kicked until your absolute broken, and still be expected to enjoy what you love to do. That all said Keep going if you really do enjoy it expect the worst and keep loving what you do. That’s what I do and it never fails this life and the people of this world won’t let it.

Okay, so before we go we always love to ask if you are looking for folks to partner or collaborate with?

I would enjoy partnering with more brands than I have access to being clothing or shoe brands such as Nike, maybe get in contact with a cologne brand make something sweet, maybe labels like Strange Music, Sony, or Def Jam.
I would enjoy working with anyone honestly but I’d much perfer it be live and in Studio with bigger artists so I don’t have to carry a whole song. Not that I can’t as I’ve proved time after countless times. It would just be nice to hear the artists thoughts and their prospective more so then just being dropped with a project to finish. That’s the industry though, fast and it has high expectations. A word to the potential sponsors hit me up! I would love to see if promoting your brand would be a good fit along side my skills. I would also be interested into hearing from potential investors though expect me to utilize funds in ways you haven’t thought of. That all said I’ll rap with any of you. You need a chorus I got you, you need someone to carry the rest of your unfinished projects to make it work, again me I’m your guy. You want a verse and then do live shows reach out we can figure it out. Regardless that’s what’s up, much love.
