We had the good fortune of connecting with Jordan (Jay) Buehler (Lacosa) and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jordan (Jay), we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
I have had to take many risks pursuing my dreams, many of the risks I take is a financial risk of putting money into my business knowing I can make my money back plus more but sometimes I have learned things do not always go to plan as you can lose a lot of money. I also put my personal life on hold for all my businesses so there are a lot of sacrifices that are needed to be made to get where you want to in life.

What should our readers know about your business?
I currently own a Fashion brand called Sinhaven and I also run Sinhaven Records along with it. I have learned a lot about business and everything needed to know to run one in the past few years. It just shows you, you don’t need no fancy expensive bachelors degree or anything to do what you want in life. As far as the Record label I just started last year in 2020, I have learned a LOT about the music business and it’s a whole different game from coming from selling t shirts and such. I am very proud of what I have learned and been able to accomplish just over the past year on the business. Sinhaven is two words out into one, Sin-haven. Like Safe haven it is a safe place to come and repent for your sins. I want my brand to become a global brand and do pretty much everything there is out there to do, I do not want to be creatively limited. Sinhaven Records will also be accepting new artists to manage along with artist development program to come. I learned many lessons over failure in the past and all you can do is learn from those situations and fix them next time.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If any of my friends were to come to the A I would first have to show them little 5 points if they haven’t seen it already because the vibe there is unmatched. I’d also show them around downtown and get them to try JR crickets which is one of my favorite eating places in Downtown Atlanta. I lobe to go into the city we don’t even have to do much to have fun there is fun around every corner. Especially with the pandemic the past year it’s been more hard to go out into public which also affects me meeting and connecting with other creative people.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Running a fashion label and a record label is a lot of work to do all on your own. I luckily had help from some good friends in some aspects of my business. I want to shout out October Sun (Jhavin Blanks) for always being there for me throughout this whole process and providing his expertise and motivation when I get down and unmotivated. He has helped me grow into the creative I am today so I’d like to dedicate this interview to him.
