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

Hi Chidozie, what role has risk played in your life or career?
For Hustlers, movers and shakers, risk taking is just a part of life. I happen to be an actor/ Hip-Hop artist who was living in Jackson MS. I graduated from Jackson State University in 2010. I would travel to New Orleans, where my agent was located, for auditions and gigs. Eventually, I realized Mississippi only has so much opportunity and so many sources available for me to build my craft and craft my career. I took a major risk by moving to Atlanta GA. I have one family member in Georgia and he lives outside of Atlanta. Sometimes you have to put yourself in a less desirable situation while working toward your desires. Risk taking is a part of the sacrifice.

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 started writing poetry and stories when I was just 8 years old. I was liked to read books, listen to music and play “pretend” with my siblings. I fell in love with these things before I ever considered myself an artist. In 2019, I released my first solo album titled “L.I.T.”. I completely dedicate myself to anything I do. Most critiques of that album can vouch for me. My passion is in every line. The same applies to when I get a script. If you can’t feel me, what’s the point? In all, I like to apply my true self to my music, efforts and artistry.. This way, no one can imitate me and the only standards for me to beat are the ones I set.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I’m grateful to be associated with like-minded individuals who respect the arts like me. I met my closest business associates 11 years ago. We’ve been grinding and accomplishing all we dedicate ourselves to by having each other’s backs. Shout out to Shawn Hughes, Jared Haynes, Rob Demery and so many more. These are business associates and friends.
