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

Hi Devin, why did you pursue a creative career?
I chose to pursue a career as an artist simply because creating brings me the most joy. It absolutely is a passion of mine, so being able to make money from doing something that I genuinely love doing was a no-brainer for me.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I’d say my story hasn’t been a very tough one. Mostly because I put a lot of focus and attention into my mental health. I choose to surround myself with people that only add to my life, I exercise daily, eat healthy, drink plenty of water, meditate along with many other healthy habits. This discipline has been crucial when it’s come to creating. My mind stays clear and sharp daily, which allows me to perform and create with relative ease.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Houston is such a massive city that encompasses many different surrounding parts. It would just depend on the day, vibe, weather, etc.. There are endless things to choose from! My favorite thing to do is to hang out in the studio with good friends.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
There are so many I could shoutout! I’ve had many mentors and teachers throughout my years that have helped cultivate me. It would be too tough to name them all, but they know who they are. I’d say my fiancée and my mother above all because they are my rock.
