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

Hi ANB, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally?
I chose to pursue an artistic and creative career, Because It is very therapeutic to my soul. Anything involving music and creativity just seems to flow effortlessly. I can only give God gratitude for what he has given and taken away.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I live through the pages I write. Poems have always been easy to write since I was a kid. I used to love to beatbox and hear other people freestyle, it really made you feel synced in tune like an instrument. Everything I know, I taught myself. Started from my Parents basement in YAKIMA, WASHINGTON, almost five years of hard work and resilience, I can finally say I am here. I stand out because my music is for those like me who need healing and positivity in there life. I have learned to take of the “mask” and just be yourself and your true friends will love you and support you for taking the right step in the right direction. I am most excited about what the future holds. I’ve learned to embrace the “unknown” and just keep walking by faith! God has me here for a reason and I’m curios to see what it is. The journey to this point was definitely NOT easy, But if you are strong enough, it is worth it. Ive learned to find peace in any storm. If your circle don’t inspire you, then that’s a cage. I was able to over come challenges through prayer and giving all my worries to GOD. I am the furthest thing from perfect, but I’m also humble to know that I can not do this alone, for the journey is a spiritual one. I am beyond blessed to stand where God has me standing. I want the world to know that there is a living GOD who has plans for you to succeed, but you have to put in the work, Prayer, scripture and most importantly, you must have faith! Everyone strives towards “a new beginning ” each given day, so while God has given you time, please don’t waste it being something you are not.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I really enjoy the diversity of food in Houston, Texas. I still have to make my way down to Bun B’s “Trill Burgers” and make sure I treat myself to a smash burger. I really enjoy going on walks on the many trails and public parks Houston has to offer.
