Meet Anwar Serwer | Artist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Anwar Serwer and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Anwar, we’d love for you to start things off by telling us something about your industry that we and others not in the industry might be unaware of?
The sacrifice. From my parents being first generation immigrants in the United States has largely shaped my unique perspectives and aspirations in life and in business. Being an independent artist came from my brother passing away and me realizing I only wanna do things that make me genuinely happy, But being an artist has its pros and cons. Every ounce of money I get I want to pour into myself whether it’s studio time , music videos , promotion. Paying blog sites , paying influencers to interact with my music. Gets rid of me having a personal life. A common teenager wants to go out , travel , experience , party. My perspective I put in the work and sacrifice , and invest all I can in myself I know I can be living the life I truly want and deserve in due time. I understand how it feels to be financially insecure or go without opportunity and go above and beyond when an opportunity arises. I take great pride in my persistence, diligence and empathy. This is why I love chasing a dream that I can control and fixate .

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
When I was in middle school they put me in special Ed because of how severe my speech impediment was. I use to get clowned and laughed at because I couldn’t speak correctly but that didn’t stop me from being the brightest in the room. Against all odds I still made all state choir in middle school. Won my 7th grade talent show. and never let what was around me phase me or direct my own path I had paved for myself. The same kids that laughed and joked at me. The same kids that never let me feel like I fit in with everyone else say I inspire them today. Wanna work with me today. and I never held no type of resentment but saying this now doesn’t really make me feel proud. More of a relief . I got to where I am today solely alone. I’m a family man that’s never had that close family bond. I dealt with everything by myself ever since I was little. Taught myself how to tie my own shoes and taught myself how to ignore everyone and just be focused on who I want to be and who I envisioned my self to be 5-8 years in the future . I say this at 23 years old, I had to grow up at a young age . I didn’t have the typical childhood you hear and read about. I’ve been through things and seen things no kid should ever. But I don’t take that as a curse and or negatively . It’s a known blessing now but a blessing in disguise as I was going through what I was going through. So no it wasn’t easy , it was far from it, but it was easy looking back at where I came from and easy to smile and pad myself on the back for never giving up and be grateful I’m here today. I want the world to know that im not supposed to be here right now. From suicidal attempts, from my stutter , from being alone . Im here standing as a rising up and coming artist out of Dallas texas. I’ve opened up for Gucci mane . Young dolph , key glock. Have half a million total streams , have had interviews on the radio and through all that It still not enough for me . I rarely celebrate accomplishments. But quick to celebrate a loved ones . That’s the just simply the cloth I’m cut out on.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
First I would definitely take them to either the monarch in downtown Dallas, or dakota steakhouse, and then various aesthetic good surrounding places such as kessaku, flower child , drakes and more! To drink go to the parliament and or lower Greenville. to club either theory or citizen. Me and my friends love bowling . Either at the local strike and reel or late nights at Plano Super Bowl.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My oldest brother Nasir. This is all for him. Every stage I step on. Every mic and record on. Every dollar I spend to further my career, is all for him. I never realized how much I looked up to him until he was gone. an unconscious emotion of not knowing you love and cherish someone until that person isn’t there anymore. I use to be submissive to what my older brothers wanted my life to be/ how my life turned out. But since Nasir passed I only wanted to do what made me happy. I grew love for music way after high school, what’s funny is I have a bad stutter problem. Back then I couldn’t speak a word without getting laughed at in school so being a rapper/artist was a far reach of what I thought I’d be doing now😂 but things have a interesting way of playing out and I’ve loved every step of it .
