Meet Bryson Cole

Today we’d like to introduce you to Bryson Cole.

Bryson, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
I started rapping when I was 16. It stemmed from the poetry I use to write when I was younger. I noticed people were hyping up the rappers at my school so I turned the poems I was writing into raps and developed a real love and passion for the craft. I figured if others can do it just for the fun of it I can do it as well, but to push the culture forward. I started to perform at little spots and paste my business cards on all the buildings in Denton and Arlington and that’s when I started to gain traction.

We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
It hasn’t been a smooth road, it actually becomes discouraging when you feel like you are getting noticed by blogs and NBC News but still struggle to get locals to listen to your music. Being a broke college student doesn’t make the process any easier, but it’s not supposed to be easy. Anything worth having will take patience, and dedication. The journey keeps looking more and more promising everyday.

We’d love to hear more about your work.
I am not only a rapper, songwriter, and visual director. I am a creator that wants to change the minds of the youth. I want people to look for God, their passion, and be creative. I strive to evoke these emotions through rap music. I’m most proud of my accomplishments at such a young age, being on the national news at 10 and 20 is something to be proud of. Making music that saves kids from committing suicide is something to be proud of. Letting the youth know it’s okay to praise God in public is something I’m proud of. What sets me apart from the rest is that I’m willing to work harder and say the things others are afraid to say. I walk with God and want to change the world.

What were you like growing up?
Growing up I loved art. I loved to draw and was interested in animation. Everyday I would draw, draw, draw. Then got really into poetry but around this time I didn’t listen to music very much, and I didn’t like rap music. I was a curious kid, a rebellious kid and someone who wanted to be a leader. It wasn’t until I was 14 years old watching BET 106 & Park that I really started to appreciate rap music. I looked up to artist like Missy Elliot, Rick Ross, Chris Brown and Yung Berg.
