Keldamuzik Diva

I would say determination, consistency, and persistency. I had to learn everything on my own and was self-taught. I didn't really have mentors - I had different people whose events I would attend or chat with here and there, but no one wanted to give me any type of advice or consultation. I had to do all the research on my own. My inspiration comes from my grandma, who was always a businesswoman. She used to help a lot of kids get into college, and just always seeing her at her desk doing work for others really inspired me.

I would say learn from others that are successful. Be open - be open to advice, be open to criticism, try new things, think outside of the box. Do as much research and educate yourself as much as possible. Whatever industry you get into, it's a business first, right? You have to learn it, you have to understand it. And once you do, then the sky's the limit.

The industry is becoming overpopulated - you kind of have the same thing over and over again. Everyone has their LLC, everyone has a beauty brand, everybody has music, everybody produces films, everybody has a fashion brand. You look at Rihanna, Beyonce, Kylie Jenner - all of them have the same type of brands that they're promoting to their audience. So you have to really find a way to distinguish yourself from others. I would say it's a lot of competition out there from the higher-ups to us smaller people. What sets me aside with my brand is the fact that I came up with the name Diva as my alias, and everything that I do, I try to include the word Diva in it or represent Diva. I changed the narrative of the name Diva - we're not talking about someone who's stuck up or who wants M&Ms only, we're talking about an independent woman who's powerful, who knows what she wants, and sometimes you gotta be a diva to get what you want.
