We had the good fortune of connecting with Giovanni Mr Amazing and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Giovanni, how do you think about risk?
Taking risks are a part of success. If you play it safe every time, you will only go so far. There’s an old saying: “Scared money don’t make money.” If you are too afraid to take a loss, you will not get as far as you dream to be. Business is a gamble. In my experience, I’ve taken risks and have seen losses and rewards as well. I always keep in mind, anything I lose, I can get it again.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I am the Founder, artist and producer of Is It Live Records/ L.U.C. Productions. Also the merchandising brand Approval Unlimited. I’ve had my share of success in the music industry and still climbing the ladder of success. What I’m most proud of, is simply experiencing the enjoyment my creativity brings to its audience. We are working to expand our audience as we grow in the industry. Getting to the level I am currently in was not a walk in the park. If it’s easy, it’s not worth it. And if it’s worth it, it’s not easy. I’ve taken on many hats by myself, but the rewards are great. I want the world to know that if you see the names Giovanni Mr Amazing, Is It Live Records/L.U.C. Productions and Approval Unlimited, you will experience nothing less than quality.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I find the best spots are the ones that feel like home. Karaoke bars like Daiquiri Daddy’s or Mickey’s Bar & Grill. Visitjnf 7th street in downtown Fort Worth where you can find bars and restaurants on each corner. Different venues around the DFW area, there would be so much to do.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Firstly a shout-out, posthumously, to my first mentor and owner of the first independent record label I was a part of, Christopher Blake Palmer aka Frankie Black. May his spirit rest in power. I would also like to recognize my colleagues and fellow artists/producers in the coalition, Solo Army. D-Boy the Bandyt, Beat Queen, Eyce and other active members. They play a major part in keeping me grounded in my artistry and the business endeavors I embark on.
