Damon Sharpe took a break from his busy schedule to interview with Yhorlife. Thank you so much Damon and enjoy!

How would you introduce yourself to people who are unaware of you?

My name is Damon Sharpe, I am an award-winning producer, songwriter, DJ and recording artist who loves to travel the world. 

What is something that not many people know about you?

I actually started my career as a professional dancer. It still influences the way I make music and my work ethic every day.

How do you find inspiration and keep producing original content?

Traveling, experiencing new things and balancing personal and professional life to refill my creative well. I also consume content constantly. It’s important to keep our finger on the pulse as creators to stay relevant and inspired. 

What drives you? 

I'm fortunate as I innately have high drive. No matter what level of success I achieve, I strive for more. I operate like it's the first day of my career every day. The heart of a newbie with the wisdom of a veteran. 

How do you feel when people diminish your accomplishments? Do you challenge this perception, if so how?

I actually love when people try to diminish my accomplishments LOL it just makes me work harder and success is always the best revenge. ;)

What advice would you give to a young kid with the same aspirations as you- being a producer and podcaster?

There are millions of people with talent out there but if you can outwork them and stay the course, success is inevitable. Persistence and positivity are key. Work ethic trumps talent.

What are your thoughts on the current BLM (black lives matter) movement?

We still have a long way to go but I love that we are uniting and seeing some long needed changes! 

Please describe your podcast and how you came up with the idea?

I wanted a place where I could share new music and give people a sense of community and belonging. Somewhere for me to tease my new songs and give them a peek into my world through dialogue. Damon Sharpe presents Brainjack Radio was born. Where my Brainjackers at?

What is your favorite way to pamper yourself and get a boost?

I love to get away. A spontaneous trip to Mexico complete with beach time, good food and massages will always boost my energy and inspire me to keep creating.
