Meet Honey Daii | Artist

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

Hi Honey, we’d love to hear more about your end-goal, professionally.
I feel like when I was a child, I always had dreams of growing up and becoming a well know Artist. I would daydream about it to the point where I would stand on the porch of my childhood home and sing to no one. When I was bored, I would lay in the middle of the living room floor with music playing, magazines spread out, drawings and cut outs of outfits to create a “look”. What I have realized now as an adult is that I’m not working toward being an artist, I just am. I am multifaceted with goals of being more involved in music, film, beauty, and fashion. My “end” goal at this moment is to have more community and global support for my brand in a way that allows my world to no longer be divided but solely focused on my craft and its expansion. I have had many amazing opportunities from local shows all around Texas, private events, performing on Good Morning Texas two time in one year, many write ups and interviews. These moments have kept me encouraged as an artist and knowing that very soon the hard work that has been put in behind the scenes will show to have been worth it. I’m looking forward to releasing new music, my continued work with other artist, more brand partnerships, and opportunities to be able to impact the world with my art full time. My “end” goal is to accomplish everything my soul was sent here to do and to pass it on from generation to generation. As I continue to hit my personal goals and career goals, I can a surely say that once I have accomplished these goals it will only inspires more goals to be met. Honestly, I don’t believe I see an “end”.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I am a small-town country girl from Winona, TX that has always had big dreams/goals and I say that proudly. My journey as an artist hasn’t been easy and it is defiantly not for the faint of heart. I found outlets when I was a child, from talent show, family events, church, plays, modeling and school organizations. When I graduated high school, I made the decision that I was going commit to this dream by getting my Bachelors in Theatre with an emphasis in Acting/Directing. I learned so much by making that decision from set design, performing, costumes, lights, acting, dance, singing, box office and so much more. However, I also struggle in finding my artistic identity and feeling good enough for my own dreams while pursuing them. I struggle asking for help during college and I was extremely hard on myself. My struggles during college were having a scholarship that I didn’t want to lose and my dyslexia. I refused to get assist during college even after being tested for it as a kid and again in college. I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it without help. I did do it… but the stress and how it made me feel about myself along the way isn’t something I am proud of today. Since then, I have grown a lot as person/Artist and I have learned to ask and accept help.

I now have been giving opportunity to be on television, shows, interviews, and working with other amazing creatives. So, what sets me apart? Well, I set me apart just because of who I am. I am unable to be put in a box when it comes to my art so you will always find me diving into new interest and endeavors that make sense to where I am in life and how I want to express it through my art. I have a love and drive for this field that just won’t go away, and it chases me down when I feel discouraged. I become more grounded each time I enter a project.
This is one of the reasons I was born… To create art in this world and engage with it deeply. I have been doing this since I was a child and I’m growing in it from year to year. Soon the next question will be “Where did she come from?” like I popped up overnight. However, this here has been a slow burn, but I already know it will have been worth the wait.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Well, it would defiantly depend on the friend because my best friends have so many different interests and hobbies. However, I would defiantly be looking on the internet for fun events going on in the city to go to whether its music, a show, or activity. We also can’t forget about food because this lady here loves to eat and the DFW has so much to explore so I’m going to try and find something new so we can experience it together. We are going to go walk around Deep Ellum, Bishop Arts, North Dallas and Ceder Hill Hiking if they are up for it. I wouldn’t even mind going on a quick road trip to Austin, TX just because I love going out there. I’m a free spirit so again depending on which friend it is I’m down for some outdoors adventures and also just relaxing and talking.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I love community and desire more of it especially one that is centered around peace, growth, support, encouragement, integrity and working together. I have a lot of people in my life who have impacted me in positive ways from my incredible husband, my loving parents/family, my encouraging friends and my growing team. At this moment I would like to thank Andrea Strong, Jared Moody, and Stay Bright for believing in the brand and helping support, strategize, organize, completed projects and goals. I am able to continue to move forward because I have a team of very important people in my corner during the ups and downs. Thank you for seeing me, believing in me and all the things that we will be and already are!
