If somebody tells you can’t do something. Don’t reply back. Just keep that thing inside you and do what you have to do. The results will say for themselves. Do whatever you want.
1. Tell us more about your background and journey.
I’m a boy from a small town. I’m from a very middle-class family but I’ve had the best years of my life in school. I was a fat kid who girls really didn’t like. To be very honest, I was a heavy guy but was always keep on doing everything. I was really not good at my studies at all as I didn’t study.
Like once in 12th standard I remember it was my second prelims I got zero out of a hundred. So that was the moment, I realized I'm not made for studies at all. I really worked hard on my body during lockdown 2020 and that’s when I really got in a good shape and then splits happened.
2. When did you decide you wanted to be an artist?
When I was in 6th I used to copy my brother participating in dancing, cycling, or maybe mime. Just trying to everything, just to match his level. Going to play basketball in his footsteps.
When I was in 12th and I just looked back at my years I’ve had a crazy school life because I was like a small celebrity in school as well Kg and 1st class students used to come to me and ask for photos and all so I knew if I wanna do something that should surely be big.
3. Is it a financially stable career?
Not at all, I feel but it has up and down. But yes nothing is guaranteed in life right so you gotta take the big steps and use just one life. You have to at least try.
The only thing that would happen is it won’t work out but at least you tried and you won’t have regret for your whole life now.
4. Who is your favorite painter/artist and why?
My favorite Artist is Logan paul because π’m like a crazy super fan of that guy.
He’s a guy from Ohio, now living in LA and Miami. He has raised the bar so high. Whatever he does he just conquers that platform. First, it was Facebook then Instagram then Youtube and now he’s boxing Floyd Mayweather next month. That’s like crazy.
5. What is your inspiration for creating art?
To me, success is when I'm with my family and friends and I'm laughing like crazy. I don’t have to think about what I’m doing with them I’m just enjoying the moment. With the materialist success, I manifest it and really work hard on my Goal. Because one of my closest friends told me one day "Go Gary just do whatever you want to otherwise one day comes we wake up and this is all a dream.
6. What piece of advice would you like to give to future aspiring artists?
If somebody tells you can’t do something. Don’t reply back. Just keep that thing inside you and do what you have to do. The results will say for themselves. Do whatever you want.
It’s all possible. Definitely, it will take time. Some days will be really hard it could be mentally, physically, or even financially. Just don’t give up on your dreams it will not happen today not tomorrow but after a particular period of time, it will eventually happen.
7. Which is your favorite book and why?
I’ll be very honest with you. I don’t read books so I don’t have any favorites.
If you ask me, what is my favorite series it's the last dance of Micheal Jordan.
