Lamar White shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Hi Lamar, thank you for taking the time to reflect back on your journey with us. I think our readers are in for a real treat. There is so much we can all learn from each other and so thank you again for opening up with us. Let’s get into it: Have you ever been glad you didn’t act fast?
Yes plenty of times. I don’t have a specific situation, but I will say due to a lot of wisdom that has been given to me from my parents and life experiences it has given me the ability to really take a step back and analyze a situation to make sure that no mistakes are made. Ive come to notice, on my walk of life, that if you get the inclination not to strike, or you get the indication that something’s not right or to slow down, it’s best to slow down.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
The Sound of Nebula from my perspective is hard to describe into words, because God’s hands have been involved every step of the way and on every level. We are here to show the world our gift through music. It’s that simple. Our stories are all special and unique in our own way, yet we all share the same passion. I would tell our supporters to dive deep into our art and watch us grow with you.
Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. What was your earliest memory of feeling powerful?
Playing catch with my Dad, I remember when I didn’t know how to catch the ball in my glove, and my dad kept pushing me to keep trying, although I saw no hope or change in outcome, I kept trying. And then it happened, I caught the ball and he said “See you did it!!!” I was sooooo happy that I caught the ball, I started crying. I just wanted to make my father proud.
The Second time was when my dad was in the air force and he had to deploy for the 2nd time. As we all were saying our final goodbyes he teared up and so did I. He told me to behave and make sure I said yes sir, no sir and yes ma’am, no ma’am to everyone that I speak with. He also told me to protect my mother and brother, and I was the man of the house while he was gone since I am the eldest son. Those words have never left my soul.
What did suffering teach you that success never could?
I wouldn’t know success without suffering. Suffering taught me patience and humility in a way success never could. When things weren’t working out, I had to really sit with myself and figure out why I was doing this in the first place. It showed me how to keep going even when no one was watching or cheering me on. Success feels good, but struggle teaches you character.
So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. Whom do you admire for their character, not their power?
The Lord, My wife, Mom & Dad, My Brother, My daughter, and everyone on the Nebula Team.
I would like to say character is a form of integrity, which is a form of power.
Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: What do you think people will most misunderstand about your legacy?
I think the biggest misunderstanding might be that people see the end result like the songs, the label, the movement, but not the years or trial and error that built it. My legacy isn’t about overnight success, it’s about the grind, the sacrifices, and the lessons that came from failing and trying again. Some might think it was just about music, but for me it’s always been about creating space for others to grow and be heard too. At the end of the day, I hope people realize my legacy is less about me and more about the community I’ve helped build through The Sound of Nebula.
