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

Hi Anthony, what do you attribute your success to?
I must say the most important factor to my success is something my grand aunt “Della Lewis” told me when I called back home and I was asking for some help to pay my rent in my Norcross Georgia apartment, she told me no I am not going to help you this time, “put on your thinking cap” and to some they will immediately look at that response as something negative and just give up but I looked at in a positive way, and since then I shot my first short film, negotiated deals, traveled, started my own film production business, purchased a number of promotional billboards promoting my shows “Atlanta Girl$” & “Champagne and Color Schemes” around the city of Atlanta, put out two albums “Tragedies to Melodies” and “No more error” independently on iTunes and spotify under my publishing company tragedies to Melodies records by Anthony j lewis, and now I’m looking to get in to real estate. So the moral of the story is sometimes when someone tells you no it’s not cause they want you to fail, it’s truly because they want you to be able to succeed on your own even if there not around. So to answer your question my Aunty Della is the reason for my success.
