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

Hi LouieGuap, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
I’ve always been an artist of some sort since a child. I used to draw and create comic books with my siblings. I also use to vividly use my imagination whenever I played with toys or played in my front yard. Being creative just always been apart of my childhood and I guess it just eventually translated into writing music.

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 am a musical artist based in Houston, TX. What sets me apart from the rest is that I actually engineer and mix my own music. That means I record my own vocals, and then I mix them down. Even though I’m still learning everyday about the recording industry, I feel I have a pretty good head start over my peers. It wasn’t easy to get to this point, and I doubt it will get any easier. I believe with faith in God and consistency I will achieve all my goals that I have planned ahead in music industry.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
HTX is such a big and exciting city that it would be impossible to show them all the great places to eat and have a good time.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I really would like to dedicate my musical journey to my wife and mother. Those two people are my biggest supporters when it comes to my music. I can always count on them for encouragement whenever I’m feeling doubtful.
