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

Hi Marlon, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
Expression. Escape. The ability to do something that keeps me busy and can still make my own without it also looking like “work”.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Marlon’s Room is a window into my life. I don’t like to hide who I am and at one point I did. I wasn’t happy living in that light so I changed the lamp.

Embodying a character has been so much fun! It’s been a journey trying to balance it all out but my advice to anyone doing ANY kind of creative… JUST DO IT! You’ll have supporters and haters so you might as well be praised for your efforts and hated and happy!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Oh man! So many options! I would hope there is a convention in town or some kind of nerdy event going on! If not we could go to MJQ at a cosplay party or definitely hit the Atlanta Beltline and check out the scene there.

Favorite food spot is Athens Koussina in Sugarloaf Mills Mall!

We can hit Atlantic station and do some shopping or check a movie out!

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?
Beltline Cosplay (Atlanta, GA) ! Group of fellow cosplayers that help me escape the stresses of real life! They accepted me and now I’m one of the admins running the group !

Couldn’t be here with out them. Cosplaying as some of the characters gets my creative juices flowing for my voice acting as well and I plan to dive heavy back into that soon!
