Being an entrepreneur is not easy. What made you decide to pursue your own business?

We believe Stay Humble And Grind to be a universal message that regardless of field or area of expertise, one may find genuine success by implementing a humble attitude with a consistent work ethic.

How do you come up with a creative concept for your Merch?

Right now it is a matter implementing different fonts to convey the overall message of the brand. We have been working with a couple of creators to get some ideas brought to life and possibly lock in a partnership.

What’s the golden rule you live by when it comes to doing business?

I have two that kind of work hand in hand: All money ain’t good money & dishonest money dwindles away fast.

What can we expect from you for the last quarter of the year?

We are preparing for our relaunch Veterans Day of this year 11-11-21 on our website StayHumbleAndGrind.com. We are also planning to engage our local area elementary, middle, & high schools in an effort to inspire humility and hard work

INTERVIEWS

What’s up James Worthy? Please introduce yourself to our readers.

Greetings! I am James Worthy from Queens, New York. I am a recording artist, producer, songwriter, actor, and business owner.

Tell us about life growing up in your city.

Growing up in New York was full of experiences. A lot cultural entertainment that I was exposed to, and lots of music in all genre’s. I got the music bug at an early age because of that alone. Once you got a taste of music that felt good you kept wanting more. Running around from record store to record store buying albums I never heard just to learn the craft.

You wear a lot of hats in the industry, how did music become your passion?

I would say it’s been a passion because I’ve always been around it early on. I’ve made many transitions in the industry just to continue being creative, and innovative which is always important to me.

Along your journey, who has been motivational for you?

There have been many people that motivated me along the way, but if I were to name a few: Michael Jackson, Q-Tip, Whodini, Kanye West.

Let our readers know everything that you have going on within the music business. 

So much going on. For starters completing my debut album, the James Worthy documentary, movie/television projects, song collaborations, and touring.

You’ve got some great music out there. Tell us about your new single Tick Tock ft Big Gipp and where we can find it.

Shoutout to my big brother Big Gipp. Tick Tock came about really about a year ago. I had the concept and idea layed down, but I didnt know where to go with it yet. I linked with Gipp last year, and began working with him which led to us collaborating on Tick Tock this year. I wanted to describe a short story of time not always being a luxury so we have to use it wisely. The song is available on all streaming platforms, and music video releases at the end of September.

What else do you enjoy doing besides creating music?

I love traveling, painting, site seeing, attending exhibits, and playing basketball.

What can we expect next from you?

Expect growth as an artist, quality music, creativity, and the James Worthy brand everywhere.

Tell us why James Worthy is The Industries Most Wanted?

I’m the Industries Most Wanted because I am what the industry needs.

Industries Most Wanted gets to know NiCole NikkiNi

INTERVIEWS

Please introduce yourself to our readers and tell us where you’re from.

Hello my name is Ni’Cole and I am from Columbus, GA.

Tell us the origin behind your name.

Ni’Cole is really my middle name; I just put an apostrophe in it to make it a little different. I was like it might be a little basic, but this apostrophe is going to make it a little spicy.

What made you decide music was your passion?

I officially fell in love with music when I was three. It was at the age of three my Aunt Marshalene and I discovered I could  actually sing. Not only that, but when I saw Aaliyah for the first time. Seeing how graceful she moved and sounded blew me away. It made me want to do music even more.
The love for music made me want to explore more from writing, rap, playing the piano from hearing, and even attempting to make beats. When you have a passion for something, you learn not to just focus on one thing , but go deeper to understand it.

How would you describe your style of music?

I would describe my style of music as original. I write off my emotions and anything I feel I want you to feel so we can connect.  When I write I am telling you a story. I can encourage you as your hype man or  I can vent to you as your best friend. Regardless, the words flow genuinely that’s why I say my music is original.


Tell us about the single you are currently pushing and where it’s available.

Right now I am pushing my single called Bar For Bar. It is available on major platforms such as iTunes, Amazon Music, Spotify and so much more.

What else can we catch you doing besides Music?

When I am not doing music, I paint, go to the gym, spend time with my family and friends, and relax. I am pretty much a chill person. I don’t do too much honestly. I enjoy a good vibe though.

What’s next for you?

What is next for me is more shows, more music, more visuals and more greatness.

What’s makes you the ‘Industries Most Wanted’ 

What makes me the Industries Most Wanted is no one sounds like me. I am a realist and relatable. I don’t sell dreams or an image in my songs. All I honestly give is me and my heart included.

Where can we keep up with you online?

Online you can follow me on instagram at nicole_nikkini , on Twitter at NiCole_NikkiNi, and I am also on YouTube at NiCole NikkiNi.
