In the age of STEM-centered education and the monopolization of much of the entertainment industry, we will take a look at and talk to those creatives that dance to the beat of a different drum. We will profile some of the artists, musicians, singers, directors, writers, producers, actors, and other talented creatives that are driven to create art and media in multiple forms. Join us at Profiles of the Creators.
We talk with TJ, the young creative mind behind a new generation of original puppets called the Toppets and his alter ego, Spike the Chupacabra. We discuss how TJ fell into the world of puppeteering in a generation of video games and social media and how he has used the latter to create a platform for his growing fan-base and future projects.
We interview South Houston-based musician and trombonist Michael Razo of the Gulf Coast Soul Band, The Suffers, as he describes the creative process of the band, his own playing, and other creative aspirations. We discuss his early beginnings and influences, family, music education, and creating during the quarantine.
We will profile and interview some of the movers and shakers in creative fields and endeavors. We preview our first episode and upcoming guest at Profiles of The Creators.
