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

Hi Livjes, how has your work-life balance changed over time?
No balance, I don’t really believe in it. I always refer back to a quote Kobe once said in one of his motivational youtube video compilations… “rest at the end, not in the middle”

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 feel the reason I’m at where I’m at right now is due to my work ethic & God’s work. Throughout the road blocks in my career, I was able to regroup and continue due to a positive outlook, mindset and discipline. The lessons I’ve learned in a short amount of time in this industry are so valuable and was worth all the negatives. My top 3 would be: spend money to make money, hard work beats talent, and discipline over motivation. I want the world to know the work behind the story not just the overall image and sound of Livjes.

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, I’m not from Atlanta. I don’t go anywhere besides the gym, dance studio, recording studio, and venues I perform at.

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?
Someone who’s been apart of my journey since the jump is Matt Arvay. If I was to give a shoutout to anyone it would definitely be him. Starting as my high school best friend into now one of my vocal/sound engineers and of course the main person who keeps me mentally sane.
