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

Hi MEEZO!, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
I’ve always been into fashion since I was a kid. I also grew up in a church based home. As I got older I knew I could take my passion for clothes & my passion for Jesus and turn it into an actual clothing brand. It was never steps that I really went by I just did it.

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’m a Christian Rapper and I feel that what makes me different is I’m MYSELF onstage & offstage, I don’t live a double life, when I say I live for Jesus I really mean that and you can hear that in my music. I’m proud of how far I’ve came and that I didn’t give up when the pruning seasons came. I stay excited for what God has for me next in music & too see people give their life to Christ due to me being obedient to the calling God gave me. It was a lot of hard times, dark nights, and depressing moments when it came to me accepting music. I never saw myself being an artist for a living and saving souls through my music, I wanted to go to school for business and psychology but God had different plans and I’m glad He did. Some lessons I’ve learned through all of this is to watch people’s fruits and not their words. Always pray about everything and show up for people that show up for u and let go of dead seeds that don’t wanna grow. This world is such a dark place and I just want people to know there is a Savior that died for them and still loves them with all of their sins included. When society sees me I want them to see a An Artist/Women that Loves God and is REAL & Authentic.

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.
If I went on a week long trip with a friend I would take them back to where I’m from GA. I grew up in Putnam county Ga in which I like to call the boondocks lol. It’s on the outskirts of ATL. American deli or the peach cobbler factory would be where I would take them. The food/Treats are amazing!!! I’m a huge wing lover lol and I only drink water no soda or I drink fresh pressed juices. But I’ll go in the QuikTrip & grab a vitamin water fasho! A good hangout spot would be the art museum. I love Art lol. I’m a huge nature person so I love anything outside but I hate the heat!!!

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 shoutout K-SEE for recognizing the talent in me as an artist before I even saw it in myself. I would also like to shoutout my team Brina Shakur, & Tyreshia Pouncey for being the managers/Friends that I’ve always dreamed of having & a Big shoutout to my family.
