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

Hi Monterious, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally?
I chose this career because I have always had love for art, but I couldn’t draw to save my life. So I took it upon myself to go down another path to bring things to life, just like in the drawings I use to see when I was younger. Being behind the camera, makes it easy for me to express myself to the world and let them who I am.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My dedication, ambitious, creative mindset, sets me apart from others. I’m mostly proud of that I never gave up and stuck with the process. I got opportunities to work with some major record labels and artists coming into 2022 so that’s a huge plus for me. This ride has been hectic. But worth it! Nothing in life is easy, nothing will never be given to you. You either eat or be ate where I come from. The challenges that I overcame I always kept the FAITH! Lessons I learned along the way was never take anything for granted because same way you got it will be the same way you will lose it but 1000 times worse. The world is gone know me and feel me! I will be TOP TIER and they’ll hear my name across the world.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Whew! Now you know that’s hard because it’s so many exciting places out here in Dallas! We would hit Deep Ellum at the Rooftop. They have great service and it just be turnt on the roof. All the good slow jams. Just nothing but vibes.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Yes, most definitely! Gotta start it off by thanking God ’cause without him, I don’t know where would I be today. Shoutout to my girlfriend and her brand (Fragile Attire) for supporting me along the way and keep my head above water. My brother Guevara for mentoring me, making sure I’m on the right path, helping me through my beginners stage. He also has a clothing brand out now (Guevara). And all of my supporters who’ve been cheering me on during my journey.
