We had the good fortune of connecting with Kevin Burnett Jr and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kevin, what are you inspired by?
In the beginning I’d say I was most inspired by Kanye West with a close follow by Steve Jobs. To very random individuals but they are goal seekers or dream chasers and they made it happen. I personally don’t want success at that magnitude cause I really love my modest peaceful life but I’d love to be able to say I did what I wanted with no regrets. Fast forward to today, I’d have to include my family they are the true battery to this ol machine.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I’m still heavily invested in my craft. I love to call it my first baby but as time moves forward so has my priorities and I believe my art has taken a hit from that. I crave for the day to be fully back in the driver seat on that. I’m still cooking up though it’s just a slower pace than my norm. Call me a crock pot. Just got introduced an opportunity that will change my entire life around. So doing a lot of background work until it I can truly come to life with it.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I’m not much a city person these days. I frequent work and play time with my son. A bit out the loop on that one.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Really my family from all sides. Mom, Dad, even the one I’ve created and friends whom turned family. There is wisdom in each passing experience. Im so thankful to be able to have those. Gratitude is a principle I believe I exuberate frequently. Most importantly I like to thank my grandma, Mary Holt, for just always being an ear.
