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

Hi Sharod, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
It all started from Making music and then starting a podcast for unsigned underground Artists who where like myself Trying to build a catalog of music and Hope I can gain a following of supporter.But when I took the back seat and started to look for talent in artists I found my place and My brand so I stared my website stared Creating merchandise for the podcast and the Unknown unsigned Artists to create There own Brands we are creating our first mixtape of all unsigned internet Artists and it’s still a lot more to come

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Again I from New Jersey born and raised lived almost in every city in New Jersey or at least have family somewhere and to think no one is a business owner or trying to Build there own type of ownership.I wanted to break the mold on all of that I want to give my family some type of inspiration to be better then what anyone told you.If you want to do something believe in yourself and do it never Say it can’t be done because I did it.And I did it First my own way with my own Goals in mind no matter how late it was or how Many time I had to re shoot or re record if you want something bad enough you will Keep working no matter what Easily Sidetracked Podcasting was are biggest Platform and we used it not to build our music up but to showcase Others who create and we stared a small Unsigned underground community of artists all under Easily Sidetracked Ent helping each other Get to the top to help the others on the bottom

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I’m a theme Park kinda person so Magic mountain/ knotts berry farm/ and of course Universal Studios then I would do what all New Jersey people who come to California should do hit the California beaches they are great. And there is always a festival going on out here so design on the time of year they come out.We have done 420 weekend festivals with Artists we have done Abrakadabra festivals and even the High times festival they also have this crazy fun Month of different Festivals so I guess that what I would be doing with them if I’m not recording or at a photo shoot or video shoot

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
First my Three Boys then All my Family everyone no matter if they believed or didn’t believe. Family can Influence you in a positive way or negative way it’s how You transform that influence.Do you let it Encourage you or discourage you. Then I would add friends the one who seen me at the start of something and kept motivating me. Other then that it was just Motivational Music the Nipsey The j coles the Kendrick Lamar
