Meet My’Reek Sheriff | American singer/content creator

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

Hi My’Reek, we’d love for you to start things off by telling us something about your industry that we and others not in the industry might be unaware of?
One thing about my industry that outsiders are probably unaware of is the amount of work ethic you have to possess to grow in the entertainment industry. As a social media , music ,content creator it’s lucrative to post as much as possible . creating a track , recording vocals, mixing , video recording & editing & posting covers. it requires dedication and drive to keep going even when you feel it may be pointless to do at times , in the end believing in your craft and in your hard work will always be the anchor that Keeps you going.

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 am a singer, songwriter ,producer , videographer & vocal arranger . M’y art is an expression of emotion and life . Telling story’s through voice and music that moves and transcends to the heart and mind is truly what I do and it’s by Gods grace that I am able to do it. What sets me apart from others is my ability to combine work ethic, skill , emotion& spirituality all in one 40 second video, I truly believe in giving my all no matter the circumstance which I believe has set me up for success to have longevity in a career of music. I got to where I am today by real blood sweat and tears and by Believing in something much bigger than me and that’s God. From the age of 4 singing was my Natural gift my mother saw that and at age 11 put me in classical vocal school and after the development of my voice from age 15-19 a whole

New world of possibilities opened for me. I started going on auditions Apollo , American idol, the voice , America’s got talent , the four , making the band. It was not easy scoring those auditions and not easy auditioning. I got private audition calls and failed 4 of the major singing shows I named above repeatedly. I went into a deep depression as a kid trying to live the showbiz life it took a toll on me . we are taught winning is succeeding and I didn’t find the joy in my failures until I had to remind myself of who I am

And what I am put on the earth to do . I over came the challenges of suicide , writers block, rejection by giving it to God and letting Go of what I thought was the path for me to take to reach my goals. Some of the lessons I learned along the way are firstly, God knows best and he truly will never leave nor forsake you. You have to surround yourself with people who are where you want to be, believing in yourself and having the faith to do what you desire will bless you and others in the end, & last but

Not least trust God . I want the world to know that I am redeemed, healed set free & that I’m coming ! Because of my obedience and confidence in God and great opportunities that I’ve had along the course of my 19 years of living I am
Able to move to Quebec in September of 2021 to become an international worship leader. Know that I’m the guy who wanted you to know Jesus Christ for yourself and to share your gift with the world .

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If my best friend was visiting the area I would firstly take them To dinner at two urban licks and then to a boba tea spot . I would invite them to an amazing organization called the fire place gathering to feel at home welcomed
Into the city and to have a sense of community. Some of the most fun things to do in atl is whirly ball( an indoor facility where you ride à bumper car on a basketball court ) and also some cool places to check out are I-fly , and honestly the best part is EATING, traveling all around atl trying all types of amazing food , and lastly shopping Zara, and thrift stores are my go to stores for when shopping with friends.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Firstly , I have to honor God who is the head of my life and also dedicate this shoutout to my mother charity sheriff she’s the reason why I’m here and even through fighting cancer &Kidney failure she has never given up thank you for giving me a reason to get up everyday and reminding me of who I am In God and making me fight for my dreams I love you mom. I also would like to shout out my little sister Emyjah & and my father Emmitt they are my heartbeat . And last but not least some very important people to me my best-friend Léo and his wife aniqua .They have poured into m’y Life and have become the family I never had and are truly angels hear on earth . I’m grateful for so many others that have helped me along the way you know who you are !
