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

Hi Antonio, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally?
I pursued my career in creating content due to my passion of forming more fun realities to live in. I love to distract people from all the bad things in the world and give them, along with myself, a reason to smile.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My journey of content creating started back in 2012 where I made home vlogs, skits and various videos. It was an easy journey for me because it wasn’t about the exposure, money, or any of that. I simply needed a place to let my imagination be free. Overtime, I started getting into the algorithm and crazy things like that, but it never steered me away from the purpose of creating. I don’t focus on what sets me apart from others because I don’t consider others when I’m creating. My focus isn’t, what is she doing, or what is he doing, but rather what can I do today and how can I have fun doing it? I’ve learned that this industry can be challenging the minute you start comparing yourself, so I try my hardest to stay away from such thoughts!

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.
Honestly, ever since covid hit, my favorite spot in the city is my living room. It has free food, free tv entertainment, great customer service and the cleanliness is a 5 out of 5. However, you have to have reservations to attend I heard.

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?
My shoutout goes to my family, loved ones, and God. I have an army of love that fuels me to fight any difficulties that come my way while chasing this magical dream!
