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

Hi Eldrick, where are your from? We’d love to hear about how your background has played a role in who you are today?
I am originally born and raised in Kingstree, South Carolina. Growing up in what we called “The K” was rough in many aspects. Only thing kept us separated from the streets is sports and school but even our education system wasn’t the best provided by our district and county, so, we had to make a way for ourselves or fall victim to complacency. The love I have for my community is HUGE! Everything I do is for my family and community in hopes that what I achieve will end up with the results of opportunities for my community. Me and my boys still to this day talk about how Kingstree really forced us to become men and go out and get it by all means but now that we’re out getting it, it’s time to reach back a helping hand to uplift each other! It’s enough for all of us to eat!

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I believe that my work ethic, dedication and humbleness sets me apart in a lot of manners. I cater to artists sound so that we can ensure that we are delivering excellent quality our listeners! I’ve made a lot progress from my own networking and marketing, I must say though, my brother COSMO started me with this that transitioned into a career! This path was not an easy path to take and still isn’t, everyday I work like I’ve never made any progress in the music industry, it’s essential!! Especially at times where you need to gain control of yourself and don’t let your ego get the best of you . You just have to stay FOCUSED!! I want the world to know what I do is for you all! I make music to move you and as long as I am making the world move through my intellectual properties? I am absolutely happy and will continue to serve the purpose!!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Well I’m centrally and privately located so my friends will know what’s up when we speak directly!

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?
