We had the good fortune of connecting with Shonn Oquendo and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Shonn, can you share a quote or affirmation with us?
If you want to understand the Universe just look at Nature – albert einstein
I truly think we have a deep connection with nature. A lot of our senses have been dulled by modern ways of living, if we focus our energy and communicate with the natural world we are capable of great things.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Learning something new everyday has been my motto from day one. Ive always taken risks and even without reward i learned something.

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.
I would do a drive along pch from oceanside to downtown san diego and check out balboa park. Drinks at startling diner and concert at the casbah.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I think the best shout out could be sub cultures bubbling through the cracks of cities and towns. Genres that are starting today will be the next big thing tomorrow. Keep pushing!
