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

Hi Kifo, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally?
My whole life, art, music, film and most other mediums of expression have always been a passion of mine. I realized pretty early that life is nothing but risks. Why not take the risk of choosing a career in the arts, being a person that has confidence in my expression. Creative careers also allow freedom. Since then, I’ve been perusing music expecting it to gain me some footing to step into other creative careers.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
It took a lot of disappointment and few bad releases for me to create the art I do today. I’ve managed to combine occultism with everyday concepts and talk about taboo themes such as the normalization of recreational/therapeutic illicit drug use, queer sexuality, chaos/sex magick and true radical duality. All that I speak on in my art I believe in.

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?
I would tell anyone coming in town to visit Bayou Cats for authentic Cajun food, Dat Damn Daiquiri for drinks/daiquiris, and Nothing Bundt cakes for dessert.

Places to hang out: The Church of Universal Love and Music – a place where artists gather to commune, perform or record.

Six Flags and Hurricane Harbor for obvious reasons!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
