My highest purpose is to share my music to help you express your feelings and emotions about where you are in your life. I sing for the forgotten. I stand for the forgotten people because I am one of them. I intend to make the world a better place, that’s what we all want in the end.
Lately I’ve been making lots of changes to the image of Th3Meaning and the brand in its entirety.
The vision is semi clear but I have an idea of what direction I want to go in which is more so of a faceless aspect.
I believe my new image is a more authentic view of who I am inside. I’m very insecure, always thinking looking or trying to be seen and heard while trying not to be seen.
Yeah I know that made no sense what so ever but I think there is one soul that will get it. And if you do get it then hello soul tribe I’m so happy to finally meet you. Let’s never lose sight of each other again lol.
Just dropping in for a quick hello and to say thanks to my followers it means alot when I see you guys liking and commenting away. Alright let me shut up shutting up. Later…

I clicked on the link and I viewed my press release. I reviewed each video clip as well as the outline of the story I sent to her to publish. I was very happy with the work that I saw but not as happy as I was with myself.
For the first time, I realized that I was in a league of my own. That I was making real noise and that my hard work was starting to get me more opportunities to be seen and heard.
It can be difficult for an artist to get this type of exposure. It cost hundreds even thousands of dollars to pay a publicist to push your campaign to media and social outlets. In my case, a miracle happened. I was in the right place at the right time sharing my story which inspired my now publicist to help me push my message forward. In her words
“ Your success will be my success.”
Along my journey, I’ve learned to use others belief in me to help me believe in myself. Believing in my gifts and ideas took years to develop. Growing up in a household where there was only one parent that didn’t have the capacity to nurture my dreams as a singer was difficult to say the least. I had to depend on my fantasies and day dreams about what I desired to be when I grew up.
My belief system is still under construction because sometimes it is not easy to keep going but the way my life is set up, I have made it my life’s purpose to pursue this path. I have no plan B because it will distract me from plan A, my music career.
So what’s next from me? Interviews from local media outlets in the city where I reside to bring more awareness to my activism in Ohio urban communities and overseas countries.
Today I had a conversation with the United States Department of Agriculture about my music NFT and how I am using it as a catalyst to bring awareness to agricultural needs overseas. I also made mention about a piece of land in the city I reside. It looks like it use to be a forest garden at some point and I want to get my hands on it. I don’t have a plan but I do want to obtain this piece of land to plant clean food for the urban community to have access to. The USDA Liasion and I will be meeting in a week or so to take a look at the land together and if we see fit, she’ll reach out to the commissioner to see what steps need to be taken.
I am also planning a dynamic Experience’s for my NFT holders. Also, I will be releasing new music in the next coming months. While you wait take a look at my current Music NFT project below. My purpose for my partnership with trees.org is to benefit the developing communities of Sub-Sharahan Africa. Lend your monetary support and mint for them today.

“Lie” Animated Cover Art Collectible (Snippet) NFT
Looks like 2022 is definitely a year of tremendous courage and growth on my behalf. I’m having conversations that I never thought I would be a part of. I’m receiving direct phone messages from people that I otherwise would never have met if it wasn’t for my willingness to sacrifice everything to live my dream as a singer and activist.
I’m not exact where I want to be but I am in a new position today than where I was yesterday. And that alone speak volumes of my passion for my craft and for the world we live in.
Before I dive into the interview / discussion on the show Media Scope with Dr. Tachi, I feel that I must dive deep into how this opportunity came about.
It began in the twitter spaces. I came across a guy (who will remain nameless) that is extremely knowledgeable in blockchain tech. Being in the same spaces with this guy is intimidating because he knows so much. But he’s still so humble and shares how he obtained his knowledge.
Although it intimates me to be in the same space as he, I still find myself following him wherever he is just to be amongst people that I can learn from. That mindset lead me to a broadcaster and journalist Dr. Tachi a host of her own show called Media Scope.
One day, I was scrolling through my Twitter home feed and got a notification from him. I clicked it and I noticed that he was speaking LIVE so I jumped in immediately because I knew he was talking about something worth listening to. The live was on Instagram and the discussion was about blockchain tech, NFTs and Web 3.
The questions were fairly easy enough for me to answer, at least from the chat, which lead me to believe that I too could be a guest on this show. After the show was over, I messaged the host and thanked her for her high quality content. I also informed her that I was invited by one of her guest and that I was interested in becoming a future guest on the show.
I elaborated on my area of expertise which is music and shared my current music NFT project. She said that she needed to check the schedule and that she would get back to me when she saw an open slot. I kept in touch with her for two weeks checking to see if a slot had opened and it did.
That’s me at the top right. I felt totally out of place and my nervous were pouring from my fingertips it felt like. The reason why I was so nervous was because I didn’t know that he was going to be on the show until 3 hours prior when I received the list of guest appearances.
At this point there’s no turning back and I am the type of person that takes life by the horns so I decided to calm myself with a bit of relaxing yoga, which helped up until I looked at the clock and realized I had one hour until showtime.
I was nervous the entire time. I could barely think straight because I knew that the questions would have a level of difficulty that would challenge me to my core. But guess what? I survived lol 😂 and cringed while watching the playback.
But you know what? I’m proud of myself. Because although I wasn’t the smartest person in the room but I was in the room with smart people which makes me kinda smart 🙂 And the fact that she reached out to me to be a guest on her platform opened my eyes to my significance in the NFT community.
It made me realize that I do have something to offer, that I am a valuable person in this space and that I’m just as great as the people that I was sitting next to.
After the show, I connected with a friend and shared my excitement with her. We laughed and talked about my experience on one of the largest platforms that I had ever been on. She talked me through all of my nervous thoughts and gave me great advice and even coached me on how to follow up with the host and guests. S/O to you! You are a real one.
This experience was a real life lesson for me. I learned that you can truly do anything if you really want to and that your value is greater than you realize. That fear is only a illusion and it’s ok to be scared. As long as you do it scared, you’ll see that it wasn’t as bad as you thought it was going to be.
I’m glad that I took a chance and followed my instincts. I’ve made some new connections which I’m sure will take me down new paths and lead me on to more awesome opportunities like this one.
Today has been filled with numerous tedious responsibilities, all good stuff though. The connections that I’ve been making have given my brand a whole new spark of life. I’ve come across cool graphic designers who are working on a sick ass logo as I type away to you guys. I’ve also encountered a pr who is willing to publish my press release to the local media outlets where I am currently.
Of course, that requires work on my end. I woke up to an email from my now pr who asked for a list of local media to send my press release to. I hopped on that immediately because this is the first time that I’ve ever had a pr and I’m sure the exposure will bring more eyes and ears to my current and future projects.
I guess that means that I have a team now. I’ve never been able to say that before. I guess it’s true what they say, when people see you showing up in your purpose, they will do what they can to help you.
Right now, I am about to do a bit of research and maybe a bit of chatting so I can formulate a great road map. I just realized that I don’t have one and I guess I thought I didn’t need one because my career didn’t seem to be going anywhere. I guess I was wrong about that. 🙂
So here I go, formulating a road map, assessing my goals for the coming year because it’s important. I can no longer freestyle my career. I need real direction. And after these interviews and conversations, I’m beginning to realize that people want to know what to expect from me moving forward. Good for me me too because I’ll have a general sense of what direction I’m headed in.
Now here comes the hard part, figuring what I want. Why is this part so difficult?
March 20th 2022, I got the opportunity to finally sit down and have a one on one with Tony Scholz, Publicist, Journalist and Talk Show Host of Social Chats.
We chatted about my music NFT project and the the charity that I am donating to. We also chat about my road map, the time I almost got signed and so much more.
Take a listen to hear all of the great information shared. And follow @knowaging (Tonya Scholz) on Twitter if you have a NFT for a cause project that you want to share.
By the way, it’s actually 1 am in the morning while posting this. I forgot to post about it earlier. My bad. I’m a one person band so please bare with me. Sometimes there’s so much to get done.
Alright, I’m off to watch some tarot videos and dose off in the middle of them. Haha. Later.
I had a great time hanging out with @djfeedus and @karthik.NFT on YouTube channel NFT Art Talk. We talked LIVE about everything from why I do music to my musical inspirations.
I connected with a few YouTubers who have a channel focused around highlighting inspiring music NFT artist. They dm’d me and asked if I would be a guest on their show and I gladly accepted.
NFT Art Talk is hosted by bfs @DJFeedus and @KARTHIK . Listening to new music, connecting with artist and creating art projects of their own is the tip of the iceberg with these two. After watching a few videos I realized that they’re interested about the creative process that it takes for me to unlock the vibes.
They want to know what inspires me to create my songs and what tools I use to make that happen. I have a feeling that this interview is going to be a real insight as to who, when, where and why I am what I am.
I’m honestly excited about connecting with these guys, chatting about my music as well as other awesome music NFT artist and how this tasty flood of expression has affected our personal circles for the better.
Pull up. I’m looking forward to seeing you in the chat. 🖤🔥⚔️
A few nights back I was talking to someone about NFTs and the custom experience that comes along with owning one. My twitter space family came up with some excellent ideas that I’m working on implementing for my next NFT music project!
What’s happening is I’m creating an experience that allows our holders to feel special from the moment they step out of their cars until they sit down with me.
So I’m calling and emailing clubs to speak to directors of operations and managers to get some questions answered about what I need for these coming events.
I’ve never made moves like this before. I’ve never booked my own shows so calling these clubs up is a new feeling but I’ve got excitement running through my veins about all the good what if’s. It’s kinda scary like, woah I’m really putting my self out there because for the first time I’m really moving in belief.
Back before I grew the balls to make the moves I’m making now, before I got my own studio, I was singing in bands or collaborating with other rappers and singers around my home town Cincinnati Ohio U.S, to get myself “out there”. I built a little buzz for myself but I always dreamed of having 100% control of everything but didn’t think I would ever have the know how to do it.
Now, I have a blueprint! After years of collaboration and after spending some time with some knowledgeable people in the twitter community, I feel more than confident to create and deliver a grand experience that my NFT holders will remember forever!
ABOUT THE EVENT
The event is a after party that only NFT holders can attend. After showing your NFT at the door you’ll receive a Red envelope with discount codes for shirts for shows, tickets for your drinks, VIP Bands and a thank you note from TH3 Meaning.
First six to mint the NFT gets to ride on the party bus with me! Pickup location is undisclosed for NFT holders only. This will be a future event that will take place in the U.S. May 2022! I’m so stoked to finally talk about this upcoming event. I had to make a few moves first before I could say anything otherwise it would not have felt authentic ya know.
I want you to feel dynamic from the moment you step out your car until you sit down with me. Th3Meaning’s NFT Holders Experience sky aka floor price will be at $500.
If a 3 night experience would best suit your fancy, with everything previously included the mint will be $1000.
There will be a limited amount of NFTs for this particular project. I’m considering 20 total and that’s it! I’m excited to put this information out into the universe because I know with determination and consistent action I will turn this project into a reality!
Quick update! I just spoke with a club in Atlanta and I really like the vibes. The waitress was so informative and really helpful. They have a comfortable VIP section only for “famous people” that over look the entire establishment. It can sit about 15-20 people. It’s very exclusive, away from everyone. I’m looking at the month of May 2022 to host it. The reason I’m waiting so long is to give room for anything that may come up. Right now, I am editing my current NFT project so I can use it as the catalyst to carry the dynamic event. I want it to be planned accordingly.
I’m geeked up for real! Lock in to unlock your experience. See ya!
