Meet Antawon Henderson | Artist/songwriter

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

Hi Antawon, any advice for those thinking about whether to keep going or to give up?
I take a look at how far I’ve come and ask myself do i see progress, then I imagine my life if i keep going and succeed and then I would imagine my life if i give up on my goals, i also look back on past experiences and weigh out the results from me giving up versus the results from me pushing through obstacles and hard times.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
The thing that set me apart from most artists is my drive and work ethics, my ambition and the fact that i tell real life stories in my music based on the things I’ve been through. I got where im at today by keeping the faith and knowing one day it could all really happen for me and working hard day in and day out and it was not easy at all, definitely was a long journey. I’ve learned with god and hard work and dedication that anything is possible and I understood it was a light at the end of the tunnel on top of knowing the process is a marathon and not a sprint. I just want the world to hear my story and be inspired and realize if i can do it then they can achieve their dreams and goals as well.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
First thing we would do is grab a bite to eat from my favorite soul food spot which would be Ed’s, then we would stop and pay my moms a visit and catch up on some old times and childhood memories, last but not least we would go by the studio to vibe out and I would record tracks while my friend is there to give feedback because my friends are always honest about the music i make and i value their opinions on a lot of things.

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 want to first give the biggest shoutout to God because without him nothing is possible, I would also like to thank my mom for all the late nights i would record with loud music playing while working on my craft and she never complained once, and my children for being my biggest fans and being that motivation i needed to keep going through it all.
