SAINt JHN talks Childhood, Rihanna, Creative Process, Speaking Things Into Existence

Музыка

Hard Knock Tv's Nick Huff Barili sits down with Saint Jhn for in-depth interview at Truth Studios. In Episode 1, Saint Jhn and Nick talk about Saint Jhn's childhood, growing up between Brooklyn and Guyana, seeing his brother in a street cypher and knowing then that he wanted to be an artist. Saint Jhn shares that earlier in his career he wrote for other artists, including Rihanna but that his songs for her never got placed on her albums. Saint Jhn shares how that didn't discourage him or make him doubt himself because he believed in what he wrote regardless of validation from others. Episode 1 covers a lot more topics including Saint Jhn's creative process, visualization and manifesting things into reality, gems he got from his single Mother and much more! We are just getting started, tune in Wednesday for episode 2. Make sure you subscribe to be notified!
