Rapheal, thanks so much for taking the time to share your insights and lessons with us today. We’re particularly interested in hearing about how you became such a resilient person. Where do you get your resilience from?
My resilience often stems from a combination of curiosity, adaptability, and a passion for problem-solving. Embracing challenges as opportunities to learn and grow fuels my resilience. Additionally, the support and inspiration from others, as well as the satisfaction gained from overcoming obstacles, contribute to my ability to bounce back and continue creating.

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?
It’s a new era of music and it’s time for a new leader in the industry that is natural in performance and clear in artistry with a story to tell. Now emerges a man with an approach that is clearly designed beyond the normal expectations. Rapper, producer and writer with a deep rooted culture from a Nigerian background yet residing in Atlanta, Georgia where he bridges the connections through lyrical experiences. He has an international appeal that is noticeable from his commanding voice and physically towering at the height of 6’5 he plans on commanding and towering the industry with an acclaim that is respected and noticeable. In the near future he plans on using his talents to share his life story. Humble in his laid back approach and persona providing an introspective look on his initial mix tape release titled Mixed Feelings and Whatever happens happens.

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?
Imagination and Creativity: The ability to think outside the box, generate original ideas, and see things from different perspectives is fundamental. Cultivating creativity fosters innovation and unique approaches to problem-solving. Versatility and Adaptability: Being open to new concepts, techniques, and mediums allows for versatility in creative expression. Adaptability helps in exploring various styles and adapting to changing trends or client preferences.
Resilience and Persistence: Creative endeavors often involve setbacks and challenges. Having resilience, staying persistent, and learning from failures are crucial to continue evolving and refining one’s creative work.

As we end our chat, is there a book you can leave people with that’s been meaningful to you and your development?
