Written By Travon BraceyThere are many independent artists that we listen to that we as a generation can be named real stars. However, there's always a moment where music lovers need to dig deeper into who really behind the talent. Kori James, an Atlanta-based and Miami-born singer, and songwriter, is one of those hidden gems. His music of R&B vibes with sensual lyrics, and mediated vibes gives his sound and harmonies the music you've been missing. Kori has collaborated with the likes of Brik. Liam, a Morton Records recording singer-songwriter and close friend of his and Re Lxuise, another Atlanta-based Grammy-nominated songwriter. Even though I wanted to interview Kori face-to-face, it was also during the time the release of his newest project, Words With Friends, Vol. 2, was getting phenomenal recognition that lead him to have a busy schedule. However, he still was able to take some time to talk to little old' me about his life and career.

If I were to describe him as food, he would be that delightful country breakfast with warm honey biscuits on the side. It may be funny to portray him like that, but once you get into his world, you will get what I mean. Demariyon Futch, an exceptional Fashion Designer & Stylist formerly from Thomasville, Georgia, proves to the world that no matter where you come from, staying humble is key to the success that God has created for you. 2012 was the first year after graduating from college with a journalism degree when Futch was introduced to the entrepreneurial world as he started a t-shirt clothing line. Since then, Futch has expanded his creative techniques into his profound luxury menswear streetwear line, ELEVATION 12. Young Thug has worn his work, Avery Wilson, Lil Keed, Keke Palmer, and Tiffany Evans, to name a few.
I have been knowing Demariyon Futch since I was 19 years old. It's beautiful to see the growth of what he has grown his empire to be. I wanted to make our conversation an emotional yet memorable moment for us, being that Demariyon and I admire each other so much. At first, I was scared and nervous because I didn't know what to expect when it came to conversing with him. A few days before the interview, we talked about how I was going to interview him. Still, I decided to make it intimate in his sanctuary with his humbling assistant being a listening audience while Beyonce plays in the background the entire time of us talking. |
