We had the good fortune of connecting with Taylor & Christina Hedgspeth and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Taylor & Christina, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Our thought process behind starting our production company rooted from our musical background. We were raised by a family that absolutely loves music a lot. We both started our musical journeys at a very young age. I, (Sheray) fell in love with being behind the boards creating the music, audio engineering, and executive producing side of music. My younger brother (Tay) has also felt the exact same way about from a very young age as well. We both took up music in school following in our mothers footsteps. She took music up in school and was the lead clarinet player in her band class. We recently lost our oldest brother in December of 2018 to a motorcycle accident. His name is Lucious B. Hedgspeth IV. He was our greatest inspiration behind building our production our company and pursuing our careers as artist as well. I (Sheray) graduated from SAE Institute of Technology in Atlanta, GA on April 23,2021. I received my certificate as an official Audio Engineer. My brother (Tay) took on the task of becoming a great producer and has been successful at it since he started in 2016. We named our production company: IV.US.PRODUCTION$ in honor of him and to continue to celebrate him everyday we live.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
What sets us apart from others is, we are unique in our own way but alike in so many ways as well. We’re siblings at that. We are our own vibe. We are two very talented individuals that love our Heavenly Father as well! We are most proud of how we are handling our brothers death, trials and tribulations, and pursuing a career with not much experience. We channeled positive energy to push us into greatness! It was extremely hard for us but by the grace of God and strength he’s given us were still here & conquering anything we come in contact with or encounter. Lessons we learn along the way we’re, never give up because on the other side of that pain or obstacle is the reward of keeping that faith even when it got to be too much to bare. We want the world to know to keep God first in everything you do because, we do. IV.US.PRODUCTION$ is going to be one of the most successful production companies in the world! There is no doubt in our minds. There is no short cuts. Put the work in and respect the process, it will pay off in due season!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
We love to do fun stuff! 1. For Fun -Main Event in Cobb County, GA
2. Samurai Blue Japanese Hibachi In Duluth, GA
3. Magic City Gentlemen’s Club
4. Atlantic Station in Downtown Atlanta, GA

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
First & Foremost, I would like to thank our heavenly father because without him none of this would be possible! All of our supporters through the media and in our career experiences. Our family and real solids. Our pastors for being so in tune with God & leading us on the right path. (World Changers Church International) Most of all my brother Lucious IV and our beautiful, strong, solid, loyal, loving, praying mother Claire Hedgspeth! To all of our love ones we appreciate you!
