Quez Cantrell - Part 2 - growth, being unconventional, truthful and culture-shifting
In this episode, which is part 2 of a 2-part series, Monica and Quez Cantrell (an artist, MC, producer, and web designer from Nashville, TN) continue their conversation where they left off in Part 1. They dig into their personal experiences with isolation, emotional incarceration, self-guilt, forgiving, and moving through deeply painful experiences. They talk about reading and sharing books they have found helpful and figuring out how to rest when needed. They talk about collaboration, lifting up others, being sure of your story and figuring out what a moment sounds like. They share their mutual respect for Rakim and Kendrick Lamar, being unconventional, and making sure that the things you do are sitting right with your spirit. They talk about the importance of trusting people and letting them do what they do, learning how to say no and be told no, motivation and inspiration, setting intentions, and Quez answers the “Behind the Curtain” questions.

“The growth that I found in reading, and you know, the self part of that. Where I can see, you know, read something that someone else goes through and see where it fits me and where it serves me and being able to take that information and put it back into my music.” - Quez Cantrell
