We’re looking forward to introducing you to Goddesstry . Check out our conversation below.
Goddesstry , so good to connect and we’re excited to share your story and insights with our audience. There’s a ton to learn from your story, but let’s start with a warm up before we get into the heart of the interview. What is a normal day like for you right now?
A normal day looks like laying down and an additional 15 minutes after my alarm. I don’t like just hopping out of bed. It makes me feel discombobulated. I light my candles, incense, sit at my vanity, and pray. Of course, I’ll have some tea. I work, I spend time with my daughter, but I’m always creating or thinking about the next thing in the midst of my presentness. My imagination and escapism have taught me that even escapism is an act of being in the present moment.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Goddesstry. I was born a raised in Rochester, NY. I’ve been singing and writing since I was a child, but I didn’t begin my journey as a solo performing artist until I had my first child. I spent so many years looking for ways to sing while trying to hide. I knew music was for me when I realized a fan base is a collective of people who feel music as deeply as I do. You just become fortunate enough, to align with those people when you’re honoring your calling.
Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. What was your earliest memory of feeling powerful?
My memory of feeling most powerful will always be on stage or in nature. These are times I feel most grounded and connected to the creator. For a moment, I struggled with receiving positive feedback and accolades because I felt like so much of what I did… actually didn’t have a lot to do with me at all. But my most recent works and my dedication to my purpose, helped me recognized just how powerful I am and that showing up will always take you far.
When did you stop hiding your pain and start using it as power?
I stopped hiding pain once I decided I didn’t want to write about the same things anymore. My recent and upcoming works are a lot more vulnerable and transparent. I write band sing from the place of a woman. I feel that my previous work was written from a space of inner child healing.
I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. Is the public version of you the real you?
I’ve told been that it is. All I can share are parts of my life, but nothing about those things are performative. I’m a romantic and with that, comes a lot of fantasy based experiences. But I’m very clear that I’m not sunshine and roses all the time. You can’t truly love a flower and hate the rain.
Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
When I’ve transitioned, I hope the stories people share are about life changing concerts experiences. Shows where they felt seen and inspired by my work. I have the hope that I’ll leave this world with the imprint and inspiration to dream big. I want to leave my mark as one of the most high vibrational voices and innovative artists to ever exist.
