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

Hi Kaylan, why did you pursue a creative career?
I personally didn’t put one thought into my art as far as making it into a business or a career. It was always an hobby more than anything, something that I loved to do until I went to college. When I started to make friends to the point they were always in my personal space they saw things in me I couldn’t see in myself, so they pushed me to become better as well as showing the world what I could do. My friend/friends who made me pursue a career in art I thank you so much truly. You have change my life.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
What sets me apart from others is my drive to wanting to experience everything in this beautiful world the right way. My drive to show/teach others what I learned and to keep it going. My drive to not care what anyone thinks and hold my head high enough to not let other people opinions influence my decisions I’ve made in my life. My drive to make sure everyone’s life is easier simply because mine wasn’t. Was it easy? Absolutely not. Honestly the hardest obstacle to get over was with myself. I am my worst enemy but at the same time my biggest supporter. I push myself to become more than what I think I am and sometimes I push to much whether im helping myself or others, but with that all being said I want people to be pure. genuine. free. Thats what im striving for my world to be and yes, I know a girl can dream but all of my dreams become real. Just watch me and you’ll see. My actions speak louder than my words.

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?
The most exciting thing I love to do in Houston, TX is drive around and see what I find! Kind of like hide and seek lol. If anyone truly knows Houston, they know it’s a cave full of diamonds hypothetically speaking. The places I enjoy the most be in the weirdest locations lol. For example, some of the houses you look at are actual stores with the dopest things inside or a cool ass studio! I could give you a list of every place I’ve been too but everyone is so lazy now and days. They assume its nothing out there for them that they like yet never tried to see so if you are sitting here reading my interview get up and go explore and experience something different. I promise you’ll make the best memories whether its by yourself or with others.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would like to thank EVERYONE I experienced in my 25 years of life. If I would’ve never experienced you I wouldn’t have known the knowledge I know now. Good or bad, it’s all strives me to do better for the good and bad. Reread if you need to.
