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

Hi Sheldon, where are your from? We’d love to hear about how your background has played a role in who you are today?
I’m from Gary Indiana where the love and creativity is sometimes over shadowed by negativity and violence.my upbringing was rough at times but my mom made sure me and my two siblings never went with out anything we didn’t have everything but we had enough

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Well, music has always been therapeutic for me it helped me express myself when I didn’t have the words to do so. I started making music at nine years old and it was very challenging at first trying to learn who I am as an artist and a person what sets me apart from me and my peers are that I believe there’s room for everyone to succeed I know music is competitive but I feel like things can change for the better. The lesson I learned from music is to never give up and always tell your truth and that things don’t stay bad forever if I could leave one message that would be it

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Well Gary being so small the place I would bring people for sure is a railcats game also I know a lot of people would want to visit Michael Jackson house plus the previous food places I name

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to give a huge shoutout to my family without there love and support I wouldn’t know my path they never gave up on me even when I wanted to give up on my self I had countless dark nights but they always helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel
