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

Hi Patrick, why did you pursue a creative career?
I pursued an artistic and creative career to allow me the freedom to be me. All my life I have had a love for the stage which has given me the liberty to express and showcase my talents. Portraying Santa Claus gives me the opportunity to share my gift and spread joy to all.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I am currently writing my second children’s book. I am excited and most proud of writing my first children’s books which has also published in Spanish. I arrived to where I am professionally by being disciplined and dedicated to my craft. It was not easy. I spent countless hours of a period of time developing my brand.

Along the way, one lesson I have learned is that everyone may not like what you are doing. In addition, those closest to you may not be your biggest supporters. Backing very well may come from strangers or people you least expect.

I would like the world to know that Black Santa EFX is here to spread peace, love, and joy to all. With its unique nature, I am confident in what’s being delivered.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If one was to visit my hometown of Houston, Texas, there are tons of things to do. The city offers a diverse restaurant scene. A multi cultural melting pot of anything your pallet may desire. A host of entertainment venues to keep up with evolving trends. I guarantee you will never be bored.

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 would like to begin with thanking my family, friends, and faithful followers for their unwavering love and support. Collectively, they all have given me the courage and motivation to step out and chase my dreams.
