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

Hi Keva Nicole, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
I chose to pursue being an artist because I see almost every aspect of life as a form of art and creativity; we as human beings are like walking canvases with different stories to tell through the gifts that we’ve been blessed with. My gifts just so happen to include music and modeling, I convey myself the best through these “mediums” and figured why not allow them to take me as far as they can not only in my personal life but in a career as well.

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.
I think the thing that sets me apart from others is the way I process things and how I complete my processes. I don’t force anything that doesn’t sound, look or feel good to me no matter what the circumstance is and that allows me to stay true to myself and my craft. I have songs written/ recorded that haven’t been released yet for this reason. I’m very much a “when the time is right I’ll know” kinda person but I am very excited about releasing my first EP by the end of this year. I co-wrote and recorded my very first song with a friend in our dorms and then started taking photos just for fun, before you knew it I had a professional photographer ask if he could feature me on his website and I continued writing more and more music along the way! I wouldn’t necessarily say the journey has been easy but I can say that it has been smoother than I expected because of the people I choose to work with. I want the world to know that everything you hear and see me do is authentic and of substance. I hope that helps to inspire others to do the same.

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?
Oh we’d definitely have to make a trip to Rudy’s Chicken, The Daiquiri Shoppe, or Shell Shack for lunch and dinner. On a Thursday night skating at Forum Roller World and maybe Level Dallas for a little Sunday Funday. We could have some fun at the Museum of Illusions and Pinstack too! It’s hard to go wrong with good people, good energy and some good food.

I would like to shout out my entire Fire and Ice Productions team, they provide so much diversity and have supported every decision I have made not only as a client and artist but as a person also.
