I believe there is an opportunity for the UF student body to champion a student artist among them. The unmet need here is a public figure that has come from the school and has/will do great things in music and other avenues as well. Students I think would love that and it would show other creatives at the school that they have the opportunity to be great and the people around them will support them for it. The need has always existed, that fact is prevalent as long as UF has been around. It's an unfilled void. I'm sure there are UF students working to that step right now but no one has ever occupied it. I believe the closest alumni we have would be Dan Bilzerian and he's a terrible role model. 88% sure the opportunity exists. Step 3: UF students would be a prototypical customer. Step 4: I interviewed a student and they said the need is for a public figure in the music and entertainment realm. When music artists and events come to Gainesville it becomes prevalent that t...

My story starts when I was 14 years old and downloaded an app on my phone called Ilovetpain. The app was designed to let you sing or rap auto tuned over random instrumentals. This is where my journey of music entrepreneurship started. I first began rapping at the age of 14 and at 16 I realized I wanted to do this as a career.

I have been featured twice on Magic 101.3 here in Gainesville and a couple times on smaller radio stations in the area and across the country. I have performed at multiple venues in Gainesville and my most recent performance was an opening appearance a...

1. My roommates keep the apartment way too cold at night and its extremely uncomfortable and hard to get warm! why: Apparently the roomies just like a cold house, we passive aggressively change the temperature of the thermostat constantly. 2. The computers at my store work terribly slow when you try to log in to western union and the internet. why: The computers are old and run on outdated software. 3. My microphone I record with records my voice in a way that doesn't sound like me at all. why: The quality of my microphone is not the best and it could stand to be upgraded. 4. I hate the way my Snapchat makes me look in certain angles, I wish it was more like the actual camera app. why: I think the app is not necessarily developed for the utmost camera quality but more focuses on sending pictures and fun messages through visuals. 5. The mailing system for goods from Amazon and other shipping places works too slow. why: Mail takes time to be shipped by trucks and other trans...
