Today we’re excited to be connecting with Terrance Brashun again. If you haven’t already, we suggest you check out our prior conversation with them here.
Terrance, thanks for joining us again. Just to level set a bit for folks who may have missed our last interview together, can you briefly introduce yourself?
My name is Terrance Brashun and I’m the CEO of Classic Villain Music Group. I started the Classic Villain brand around mid March of 2015. Originally, it started with me just drawing and making prints out of the things I would draw and from there I just expanded the nature of the brand. I’ve always been a writer and a creative so I brought that to my brand. I began to design shirts with the help and advice of Brian Begley and then I added snapbacks because that’s usually how I shop. When I buy a shirt, I like to get a hat to go with it so that’s typically how I do my designs as well. I’ve been a writer all my life so I started self publishing my own books and distributing them through Amazon. I had the idea to create a sports show with my best friends so I set out to do it on my own and put it out on YouTube. I have a degree in Visual Communication so anything you can think of doing visually, I’m able to do it. All it takes is a little bit of effort and an idea that needs to be brought to fruition. I try to use all the talents God has blessed me with. I’ve been doing music since high school so in 2020, during the pandemic, I decided to finally start my own official label. Now, I am the CEO of my own label, I am the creative designer behind all my clothing designs and artwork for my brand and I am the executive producer behind 5 shows and 2 short films.
Great, so let’s jump into an update on what you have been up to since we last spoke. What can you share with us?
Since we last touched bases, I’ve produced a series called “Yo!! Taste This Shit!!” where I go out and try new beverages that are being released on the market and give my review on them. The first season is now streaming on my streaming platform Villainwood and my Youtube channel. I also wrote 3 collections of poetry collectively called Waiting For Never. You can pick them up separately on Amazon or get the entire series together in the hardback version of Waiting For Never releasing on Valentine’s Day this year. Right now, I’m looking forward to filming the next season of “Yo!! Taste This Shit!!” and working on the scripts for my next 3 short films. I also plan to release one more collection of poetry before I take a hiatus and start focusing on my first novel.

I want to create more exposure for the things that I create and expand my audience to give more opportunities to the people who have supported me over the years on all my project and endeavors.
