Today we’d like to introduce you to Kaleb Morris.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
Fort Worth born and raised lived in most of DFW moving around a lot growing up. My Mother worked extremely hard for everything I had, watching her as a kid always “make it happen” will forever be my motivation. Sports and music were always my main interest growing up. In the 3rd grade my dad forced me to write and record a song, after I heard my voice, I thought it was the coolest thing ever and ended up writing and recording music for years. How I got here… is honestly beyond me I’m literally colorblind, I don’t know how I ended up styling people but I go crazy! I started collecting vintage clothing in high school after watching a Yung Lean music video, I wanted a windbreaker jacket like his so I started thrifting on the weekends. Years & years later my apartment became overwhelmed with clothes so I started listing pieces online to sell. After the quarantine ended, I was invited to do my first pop-up event back in October 2020 and it’s been up ever since.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Have you been to the stockyards? Haha one thing I’ve learned is there’s more than one road and they’ve all got obstacles. Learning how to do things on my own. Not everyone can come with you, and the hardest things, you might have to do alone.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
Music.Art.Design Madkozy is a hub for artist of all kinds, vintage collectors, music artist, painters, jewelers, designers, and creatives.
Kozy is a vintage collector and Vintage Nights event coordinator.
Music, Art, & Vintage clothing brings people together like nothing I’ve ever seen. Vintage Nights is bringing fun to the vintage community while also reminding everyone it’s not just about clothes. We’re creating an event that nobody has experienced outside of the DFW and that’s special.
Many plans coming beginning of 2022, anticipating the launch of the official MADKOZY brand, the next Vintage Night, and possibly expanding outside of DFW.
Madkozy also offers vending services, mobile shop appointments, and BUYSELLTRADE!
What quality or characteristic do you feel is most important to your success?
Patience, perseverance, devotion
