    Talent Ain’t Enough If Nobody Knows You’re There

    Talent can be real. The work can be fire. But if nobody knows you’re there, how do the right opportunities ever find you? On Episode 55 of Sculpt N Create, Trea Da Fit Artist goes behind the sound with producer and engineer JKelt for a conversation about what it really takes to build a creative career from behind the spotlight. JKelt breaks down the difference between a beat maker, producer, and engineer; how he approaches creating with artists without killing their creative process; why showing up prepared matters in the studio; and how networking, visibility, and getting in the right rooms can change the trajectory of your career. From starting beat-making in 2017, stepping away when things felt stagnant, and finding the spark to return, to earning placements, expanding into engineering and songwriting, and learning how to become an asset in any room, this episode gets into the work behind the work. We also talk producer royalties and splits, songwriting camps, originality and substance in music, plus how working out, meditation, therapy, faith, and simply living life can help keep the creative mind sharp. 🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS ✅ Talent matters... but visibility and relationships help create opportunity. ✅ Don’t just stay consistent. Stay consistent in the areas that sharpen your craft. ✅ Versatility can make you more valuable when you walk into the room. ✅ Preparation matters: know your concept, your sound, and what you came to accomplish. ✅ Your physical and mental wellness can support your creativity, not take away from it. 🔥 BARS FROM THE EPISODE 🎤“Continue to be a student.” 🎤“It’s just a matter of continuing to be seen and putting a face to a name.” 🎤“I feel like I could walk in any room and be an asset now.” 🎤“Every situation isn’t always a permanent situation.” 🕰️ EPISODE CHAPTERS 00:00 — When the Music Starts Sounding the Same 01:28 — Talent Ain’t Enough If Nobody Knows You’re There 05:05 — Beat Maker, Producer, Engineer...

    I’m Not Hard to Work With, I’m Hard to Play.

    Over 1 million streams. Still independent. And clear on one thing: talent means a whole lot more when you understand the business behind it. On Episode 54 of Sculpt & Create, Trea Da Fit Artist sits down with Dallas recording artist and actor, Prynce Ace for a conversation about music, ownership, creativity, acting, health, time, and knowing your worth. Prynce breaks down the vision behind New Vice City, his most commercially successful project to date... and how Dallas, storytelling, legacy, and collaboration shaped the album. From there, the conversation goes deep into record-label negotiations, artist ownership, intellectual property, contracts, equity, buyout clauses, and why he says he’s not “hard to work with”... he’s “hard to play.” They also get into Prynce’s move into acting, why sync placements can become a major catalyst for independent artists, the bigger concept behind his upcoming My Time era, and how he balances music, acting, business, fatherhood, fitness, and rest without losing himself in the process. 🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS ✅ Know your value before somebody else assigns one to you. ✅ Learn the business, contracts, and ownership behind your creativity. ✅ Music, acting, and sync placement can work together as one bigger strategy. ✅ Making time for health also means making time to stop, reset, and breathe. ✅ Pay attention to who is genuinely invested in your growth... and who only carries the title. 🔥BARS 🎤 “I’m not hard to work with. I’m hard to play.” 🎤 “I don’t care about the dollar amount per se. I care about how much of this pie is mine.” 🎤 “We have to make time. We have to prioritize different things.” 🎤 “Sometimes it’s even reminding myself to take some time to do nothing.” 🕰️ EPISODE CHAPTERS 0:00 Why Some Labels Don’t Want to Work With Me 4:54 The Real Story Behind “Prynce Ace” 6:52 From Poetry to Hip-Hop…to Country? 12:27 Inside New Vice City: Dallas, Legacy & 1M+ Streams 26:26 “I’m Not Hard to Work With, I’m Hard to Play” 35:31 The Contract Clause He Refuses to Sign Without 40:56 Three Household-Name Labels Approached Him...

    If Everybody Can Make Music Now… What Makes You Matter?

    Episode 53 of Sculpt N Create gets into a question every artist has to face in today’s crowded music world: when almost anybody can make and release a song, what still makes people care about the person behind it? Trea Da Fit Artist sits down with Columbia, South Carolina R&B and hip-hop artist BayRay for a conversation about artistry, vulnerability, business, discipline, and evolution. BayRay breaks down the soul and early-2000s R&B influences behind his sound, why he blends singing and rap, and why he believes men need more space to express heartbreak, love, pressure, and real emotion through music. The conversation also gets into AI music and the one advantage BayRay believes human artists still have: real human connection. From the loss of music’s old “mystique” in the streaming era to why independent artists still need to make their music easy to discover, BayRay shares how he thinks artists should move when talent alone isn’t enough. He also reflects on performing at the SHEEN Magazine Awards, why the people who build the room can sometimes be more valuable to meet than the celebrities in it, and how fitness, health, routine, and self-discipline have changed the way he approaches both life and his career. 🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS ✅ Human connection is still one of a real artist’s biggest advantages in the AI era. ✅Vulnerability can give listeners language for emotions they struggle to express. ✅ Independent artists have to think about accessibility, discovery, and the consumer—not only the art. ✅ Network with the people creating opportunities, not just the biggest names in the room. ✅Your career matters, but your health has to be able to carry it. 🔥 BARS 🎤“Music is meant to make a connection with people.” 🎤“It’s hard to hide from yourself in the gym.” 🎤“There’s enough room out here for everybody.” 🎤“The music and the artistry should come second to your health.” 🕰️ EPISODE CHAPTERS 00:00 — Talent, Health & What Makes You Matter? 04:39 — R&B Roots, Rap Skills & Finding His Sound 09:16 — What If Usher Met J. Cole? 11:38 — Why Men Need Vulnerable Music 22:03 — Why Don’t Men Tell Their Side? 25:58 — The Beats Through the Wall 33:08 — “From Trash to Good” 38:26 — Can AI Replace the Human Artist? 44:19 — Did Streaming Kill the Mystique? 49:53 — Talent Means Nothing If They Can’t Find You 55:54 — The Most Valuable Person Wasn’t the Celebrity 58:54 — Your Health Comes Before the Music 1:04:51 — The Gym Won’t Let You Hide 1:09:51 — If You Love Them, Tell Them the Truth 1:19:14 — There’s Room for Everybody—But Health Comes First 🔗 CONNECT W/ BAYRAY Instagram 👉🏾 https://www.instagram.com/bayray803/ YouTube 👉🏾 https://www.youtube.com/@BayRay803 Spotify 👉🏾 BayRay Apple Music 👉🏾 BayRay TIDAL 👉🏾 BayRay 🔗 CONNECT W/ TREA DA FIT ARTIST Fit Masterpiece Score 👉🏾 https://rebrand.ly/fmpscore Coaching 👉🏾https://pocketsuite.io/book/nextworldfitness/item/masterpiece-sculpting-call FMC 2-Week Experience 👉🏾 https://pocketsuite.io/book/nextworldfitness/item/fit-masterpiece-collabs--2week-network-experience More Episodes 👉🏾 https://gopod.io/p/ggpeaX Be a Guest 👉🏾 https://pocketsuite.io/form/dxO 🎧 Follow, subscribe, and share your biggest takeaway.

    Who Said Your Art Has to Fit in One Box?

    What happens when your creativity refuses to stay in one lane? In Episode 52 of Sculpt N Create, Trea Da Fit Artist sits down with Saint, an independent alternative rap and hip-hop artist, producer, and creative whose journey moves through musical theater, acting, beat-making, songwriting, faith, and independent music. Saint breaks down how he builds songs from production to lyrics, why creative freedom matters, and the reality independent artists face when making the music is only part of the job—you still have to market it, collaborate, perform, and get it heard. The conversation also gets personal as Saint opens up about pain, family, loss, relationships, faith, forgiveness, and the meaning behind The Agape Vision, a project connected to the church his parents built and his own growth around love and letting go. 🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS ✅Creative freedom can matter more than fitting a genre. ✅Creating the work is only half the battle—people still have to discover it. ✅Your life experiences can become fuel for honest art. ✅Your creative path can evolve across different mediums. ✅Staying focused, forgiving yourself, and daring to try something different are part of the journey. 🔥 THE BARS 🎤“Just ’cause you’re doing it don’t necessarily mean it’s gonna get heard. You gotta put yourself out there.” 🎤“Stay focused on what matters.” 🎤“Don’t be too hard on yourself.” 🎤“Dare to be different… venture out and try something new.” 🕰️EPISODE CHAPTERS 00:00 — What Happens When You Stop Fitting In? 01:03 — Who Said Your Art Has to Fit in One Box? 06:20 — Who Decides What Genre You Belong In? 09:07 — What If Your Real Audience Is Somewhere Else? 12:27 — Do Artists Even Need Record Deals Anymore? 17:10 — How Do You Build a Sound That Refuses to Fit? 24:14 — Sampling: Creative Freedom or Trouble Waiting? 27:32 — Creating Isn’t Enough If Nobody Hears It 30:31 — Pain, Faith & Confidence Behind the Music 36:26 — The Audition That Changed Everything 39:02 — From The Wiz to Disney & the Big Screen 43:02 — Why Music Became His Strongest Storytelling Tool 47:31 — When the Grind Finally Starts Getting Recognized 55:26 — The Agape Vision: Love, Loss & Letting Go 01:01:37 — The 9-to-5 Funding the Dream 01:05:35 — The Message Every Creative Needs to Hear 🔗 CONNECT W/ SAINT Instagram 👉🏾⁠ https://www.instagram.com/saintdub⁠ X 👉🏾⁠ https://www.x.com/stcleezymofo⁠ Website 👉🏾⁠ https://www.stclairduberry.com⁠ 🔗 CONNECT W/ TREA DA FIT ARTIST Fit Masterpiece Score 👉🏾⁠ https://rebrand.ly/fmpscore⁠ Coaching 👉🏾⁠https://pocketsuite.io/book/nextworldfitness/item/masterpiece-sculpting-call⁠ FMC 2-Week Experience 👉🏾⁠ https://pocketsuite.io/book/nextworldfitness/item/fit-masterpiece-collabs--2week-network-experience⁠ More Episodes 👉🏾⁠ https://gopod.io/p/ggpeaX⁠ Be a Guest 👉🏾⁠ https://pocketsuite.io/form/dxO⁠ 🎧 Follow, subscribe, and share your biggest takeaway.

    What If the Version They Miss Is the One You Had to Outgrow?

    What happens when grief forces you to question the life, music, and identity you’ve been building? In Episode 51 of Sculpt N Create, Trea Da Fit Artist sits down with Christian hip-hop artist King Kami (Ryan Williams) for a conversation about faith, transformation, purpose, and the move from secular rap to what he calls “testimony rap.” King Kami shares how the death of his grandmother became a turning point that pushed him to reflect on his lifestyle, surrender control, deepen his relationship with Christ, and change the direction of his music. He talks about leaving old habits behind, navigating listeners who still want the street-centered version of his music, and why artists can speak honestly about pain without making the pain the destination. They also discuss Christian hip-hop and CHH, faith versus religion, renewing your mind, using your testimony responsibly, creating music with intention instead of chasing approval, songwriting and creative process, the I Understand It Now project, “Tweaking,” his upcoming “I Surrender All,” and the creative community Something God Loves. This episode is about more than changing genres. It’s about what can happen when loss becomes reflection, reflection becomes surrender, and surrender changes the way you live and create. 🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS ✅ Your past can be material without becoming your identity. ✅Relating through pain means more when you also show a way forward. ✅ Losing part of your old audience may be part of becoming who you’re supposed to be. ✅ Tragedy can change you for the better if you refuse to stay stuck there. ✅ Purpose changes not only what you create, but why you create it. 🔥 BARS 🎤“People are so busy trying to relate that they’re not even emphasizing the importance of being set apart.” 🎤“It’s funny how death brings about new life.” 🎤“We gotta renew our minds.” 🎤“That’s all I’m gonna do—plant that seed. Jesus is gonna do the rest.” 🎤“Don’t let it change you for the worse.” 🕰️EPISODE CHAPTERS 01:01 — What Happens When the Old You No Longer Fits? 03:09 — Meet King Kami: Faith, Music & a New Direction 04:59 — Why He Calls His Music “Testimony Rap” 13:38 — You Could Hear the Change Before He Made It 16:57 — When Letting Go Becomes the Breakthrough 19:58 — What Happens When Fans Want the Old You Back? 22:44 — Your Past Is Material… But Should You Stay There? 25:31 — The Trap of Trying Too Hard to Be Relatable 28:46 — He Stopped Making Music for What People Wanted 33:39 — The Moment He Couldn’t Ignore Anymore 38:19 — “It’s Funny How Death Can Bring About New Life” 43:42 — From Prayer to Pen: How He Creates Now 52:27 — The Music That Defines Who King Kami Is Now 54:43 — What’s Next? “I Surrender All” & a Bigger Vision 58:42 — The Message He Wants You to Leave With 1:01:48 — Don’t Let What Hurt You Decide Who You Become 1:02:39 — Connect With King Kami 🔗 CONNECT W/ KING KAMI Instagram👉🏾 @kingkami.official Something God Loves👉🏾 @somethinggodloves 🔗 CONNECT W/ TREA DA FIT ARTIST Fit Masterpiece Score 👉🏾 https://rebrand.ly/fmpscore Coaching 👉🏾https://pocketsuite.io/book/nextworldfitness/item/masterpiece-sculpting-call FMC 2-Week Experience 👉🏾 https://pocketsuite.io/book/nextworldfitness/item/fit-masterpiece-collabs--2week-network-experience More Episodes 👉🏾 https://gopod.io/p/ggpeaX Be a Guest 👉🏾 https://pocketsuite.io/form/dxO 🎧 Follow, subscribe, and share your biggest takeaway.

    Could Your Travel Advisor Be the Business Partner You Didn’t Know You Needed?

    Is doing everything yourself actually saving you... or quietly costing you more than you realize? In Episode 50 of Sculpt N Create, Trea Da Fit Artist sits down with Alfie “Tito” Garcia, founder and CEO of Ares Elite Journeys, Ares Global Enterprises, and the upcoming Ares Headquarters. Alfie is more than a traditional travel advisor. He helps travelers, artists, entertainers, athletes, entrepreneurs, and organizations manage hotel blocks, transportation, venues, meeting spaces, group travel, and the unexpected problems that can happen along the way. The conversation goes beyond travel into business relationships, service, collaboration, and growth. Trea and Alfie discuss why transactional networking falls short, how trying to build everything alone can limit your business, and how the right relationship can create opportunities you never expected. Alfie also shares the vision behind Ares Headquarters, an AI-powered business operations platform designed to help entrepreneurs organize information, manage responsibilities, save time, and make smarter decisions. Sometimes your next level does not come from doing more alone. Sometimes it begins with the right relationship. 🎧 Follow the show and share your biggest takeaway. 🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS ✅ Doing it yourself does not always save time, money, or stress.✅ Travel planning can include logistics, negotiation, protection, and problem-solving... not just reservations.✅ Honest budgets and clear expectations lead to better options.✅ Real relationships create more value than transactional networking.✅ Strategic partnerships help entrepreneurs serve people beyond what they can do alone.✅ Service-first problem-solving can lead to trust, referrals, and unexpected opportunities.✅ Technology can organize a business, but relationships still drive sustainable growth. 🔥 BARS FROM THE EPISODE 🎤 “If you want to build, you build with other people.”🎤 “There’s networking, and there’s relationship.”🎤 “You never know what one conversation can do.”🎤 “If you can help somebody, even if you’re not getting anything back from it, just help.” 🕰️ EPISODE CHAPTERS 00:00 The Cost of Going It Alone00:58 Could Your Travel Advisor Be Your Business Partner?03:22 Meet the Man Behind Three Businesses06:50 More Than Flights and Hotels09:08 The Client Mistake That Wastes Everyone’s Time16:55 You’re Paying a Travel Commission Either Way22:40 What Really Happens Behind the Booking?34:17 Can Travel Perks Grow Your Business?43:16 What One Honest Conversation Can Unlock49:44 Networking Isn’t the Same as a Relationship1:05:03 Stop Selling, Start Solving1:16:11 Turning Empty Homes Into More Income1:20:11 Can One AI Organize Your Entire Business?1:27:11 The Olympic Dream That Needs More Support1:30:19 Staying Fit While Building Three Businesses1:36:54 The Travel-Budget Mistake to Avoid1:40:06 Want to Become a Travel Agent?1:42:57 The Biggest Lesson: Serve First1:45:07 How to Connect With Alfie 🔗 CONNECT W/ ALFIE TITO GARCIA Ares Elite Journeys👉🏾 https://areselitejourneys.com Facebook👉🏾 Ares Elite Journeys Ares Global Enterprises👉🏾 https://aresglobalenterprises.com 🔗 CONNECT W/ TREA DA FIT ARTIST Fit Masterpiece Score👉🏾 https://rebrand.ly/fmpscore Coaching👉🏾https://pocketsuite.io/book/nextworldfitness/item/masterpiece-sculpting-call FMC 2-Week Experience👉🏾 https://pocketsuite.io/book/nextworldfitness/item/fit-masterpiece-collabs--2week-network-experience More Episodes👉🏾 https://gopod.io/p/ggpeaX Be a Guest👉🏾 https://pocketsuite.io/form/dxO 🎧 Follow, subscribe, and share your biggest takeaway.

    What Does Your Dream Cost When You Finally Take It Seriously?

    On Episode 49 of Sculpt N Create, Trea Da Fit Artist sits down with independent hip-hop artist Jay Fi for an honest conversation about building a music career while finding his sound, audience, and purpose. Jay Fi opens up about the first album he now calls “terrible,” how one of his least-favorite songs became his most-played track without promotion, and what it taught him about growth, self-criticism, and letting people connect with work he has outgrown. He also breaks down the commitment behind his current run: working three jobs, pulling overnight shifts, driving to Atlanta after back-to-back doubles to shoot two videos and record, then returning to work the next day. Music stopped being something he tried to “find time” for and became an obligation he schedules around. The conversation explores finding the right producer, experimenting until your sound becomes clear, marketing your music, creating content without waiting to look perfect, ignoring too many outside opinions, building a reliable creative team, and staying consistent before the results arrive. Trea and Jay also get real about purpose, hustle culture, sleep, meal prep, fitness, and why chasing the dream cannot come at the expense of the body and mind needed to sustain it. Tap in for a grounded look at what taking your craft seriously demands—and why imperfect beginnings prove you started. 🔑KEY TAKEAWAYS: ✅ Stop trying to “find time” for the dream. ✅ Your rough beginnings are part of your development. ✅ You may not be the best judge of what connects. ✅ Finding your sound requires experimentation. ✅ Making music is only part of building a career. ✅ The right collaborators should strengthen your vision. ✅ Do not let perfectionism keep you invisible. ✅ Protect the body and mind carrying the dream. 🔥BARS FROM THE EPISODE: 🎤“It’s not really finding time. If that’s what you want, you have to make it an obligation.” — Jay Fi 🎤“One of my worst songs got the most plays I’ve ever had—and I never promoted it.” — Jay Fi 🎤“Some things you’re going to have to suck at first before you get better.” — Trea Da Fit Artist 🎤“Don’t listen to too many outside opinions when it comes to your craft—especially if you’re already an overthinker.” — Jay Fi 🎤“Find somebody you mesh well with who adds to your craft.” — Jay Fi 🕰️EPISODE CHAPTERS 0:00 Cold Open: Worst Song, Biggest Plays 0:39 What Does Your Dream Cost? 3:49 Meet Jay Fi 5:14 Finding His Sound and Musical Influences 8:27 Finally Taking Music Seriously 10:39 Building Chemistry With a Producer 15:31 Experimenting With Flows and Building an Audience 19:49 The Cost of Independent Music 22:16 The “Terrible” First Album 24:20 Beginner Mistakes, Marketing, and Releasing Too Soon 28:27 His Worst Song Became His Most-Played 29:43 Musical Roots: Church, Family, and Freestyling 30:59 Purpose Before the Path Is Clear 33:21 Jay Fi’s Songwriting Process 37:24 Upcoming Singles, Remixes, and EP Plans 39:19 Three Jobs and Making Music an Obligation 41:56 Content Creation, Perfectionism, and Social Media 45:27 Negative Attention and Staying Authentic 46:39 Fitness, Meal Prep, Sleep, and Hustle Culture 52:02 “All the Way” and What’s Coming Next 53:35 Advice for New Independent Artists 54:43 Build a Team That Strengthens Your Craft 55:30 Connect With Jay Fi 56:45 Outro 🔗 CONNECT W/ JAY FI Instagram 👉🏾 https://www.instagram.com/jayfi__ Facebook 👉🏾 Jay Fi 👉🏾 JAYFI YouTube 👉🏾 https://www.youtube.com/@OnlyJayFi 🔗 CONNECT W/ TREA DA FIT ARTIST Fit Masterpiece Score 👉🏾 https://rebrand.ly/fmpscore Coaching 👉🏾 https://pocketsuite.io/book/nextworldfitness/item/masterpiece-sculpting-call FMC 2-Week Experience 👉🏾 https://pocketsuite.io/book/nextworldfitness/item/fit-masterpiece-collabs--2week-network-experience More Episodes 👉🏾 https://gopod.io/p/ggpeaX Be a Guest 👉🏾 https://pocketsuite.io/form/dxO 🎧 Follow, subscribe, and share your biggest takeaway.

    Are You Healing... Or Just Getting Better At Hiding the Pain?

    He battled addiction before he turned 18, carried childhood trauma, faced legal trouble, lost the person he thought would be with him for life—and turned it all into music that helps other people feel seen. On Episode 48 of Sculpt N Create, Trea Da Fit Artist sits down with independent hip-hop artist and Snakepit Entertainment co-founder Big Mooky. Ranked No. 1 on On Dummy Entertainment and 24HipHop’s “Top 10 Artists to Watch in 2025,” Big Mooky has opened for artists including NASCAR Aloe, THOUXANBANFAUNI, Wifisfuneral, and Mac Lethal. This conversation goes far beyond music. Big Mooky opens up about addiction before adulthood, growing up without a consistent father figure, being kicked out of college, wrestling with faith and his inner demons, and why writing became his version of journaling and therapy. We also unpack the “Island of Misfit Toys” he is building for listeners who never felt like they belonged, the difficulty of finding the right therapist, the difference between being physically fit and mentally healthy, the hidden pressures facing independent artists, and why he walked away from film and television opportunities that were damaging his mental health. From hip hop and fitness to filmmaking, stand-up comedy, redemption, grace, and creative purpose—this episode is raw, reflective, funny, and real. 🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS ✅ Authentic art can help people feel seen and less alone. ✅ Music can help you process pain, but healing may require more than one outlet. ✅ Looking physically healthy does not always mean you are mentally healthy. ✅ Independent artists must protect themselves, their money, and their peace. ✅ Small “net gains” in fitness, creativity, and self-care still count. ✅ Sometimes protecting your mental health means walking away from an impressive opportunity. ✅ Create for yourself before chasing trends or outside approval. ✅ Give yourself more grace than you think you deserve. 🔥 BARS FROM THE EPISODE 🎤 “Music is me being in therapy with myself.” 🎤 “Physically, I was healthy—but mentally, I was running from something.” 🎤 “Give more grace than you were given.” 🎤 “What would I do today to be proud of myself, given my circumstances?” 🎤 “Love is the legacy.” 🎤 “You don’t have to know where you’re going to eventually end up in the right place.” 🕰️ EPISODE CHAPTERS 00:00 He Fell… But Did He Really Fail?00:54 How Do You Turn Trauma Into Something That Saves You?07:00 The Island Where Misfits Finally Belong17:00 Would You Rather Fall—or Never Try?19:45 When Music Becomes Therapy22:22 Addiction Before 18—and Three Felonies?28:42 Therapy Is Expensive… Trust Is Harder33:41 Why Hip Hop Let Him Be Himself39:12 Going Viral Wasn’t the Win He Expected45:05 The Music Video a Hurricane Erased49:51 Shredded Outside, Running From Pain Inside54:19 No Time to Work Out?
