We had the good fortune of connecting with Ky’saun James and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ky’saun, what role has risk played in your life or career?
Risk? Personally I see risk as an opportunity; risk means getting uncomfortable which makes room for growth, during the motions some may hate it others will embrace it, but determination carries all through it.

For 24 years being atop this world risk has showed me several things remaining stagnant couldn’t have, leaving home at the age of 18 allowed me to gain new perspectives. Understanding failures will only lead to success for you to manifest the life you want you need risk, the more I took steps off the edge the better my craft has gotten many will not understand but that’s how doors open like this platform thank you for the opportunity

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Things that keep me busy professionally it’s pretty simple just looking for ways to allow a continued growth even when I hit the 10,000th hour I’ll still be uncovering ways to keep expaning my craft. I’m all in when it comes to the music.

Fusion old and new, love for the old school with influence from the new. My foundation is Hip-Hop but beginning to expand into R&B as well, mostly proud of sticking to what I sought out to be as an artist; some lessons I learned along the way is being real with who you are as transparent as possibly, all the answers will not be available at the time but they will reveal themselves, lastly failures leads to success. Something the world should know about my brand is it gets better with each new body of work something you can enjoy when you want to vibe to

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
A couple of places that we would go would be Gas lamp the night scene is always something new to find, for food mimi’s bistro place ALWAYS comes througg with good food, the beaches of course since the weather is mostly a constant, lastly couple of studios to see some behind the scene of the music is made
