Today we’d like to introduce you to Jardyn Walker
Hi Jardyn, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
When I was a luh boy I always wanted to entertain I would do school
Plays, and family talent shows. When I turned 12 I figured out I couldn’t sing 🤣🤣 so I started rapping I would make little raps and show my bsf, I moved out of stl in the end of 8th grade to the beginning of 10th and between that time I had a Potna who told me that I was hella funny and needed to start a YouTube channel… I didn’t want to do it but I new if I wanted people to hear my music I needed a audience so I started it in 2018 and after brainingstorming video ideas I finally made my first viral video that his 200k views. Since then I would put out music make YouTube content and be noticed by some of the best in the game right now * Cardi B, NLE, & dreamdoll *
I had my first tv appearance in 2022 and shortly after my first channel got deleted at 19k over one million views and Ididnt make the show..
So for 2 years straight I was lost till I found myself again and audition for my new show on zeus and got the part in August 2024
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It has not ! when I look back at the journey so many people iced me out from big names to small. It can be as little as st.Louis not playing my music or trying to wax me down…to me going outta town and they spinning my songs for free, or my YouTube that I work on for 7-8 years all going down the drain when I got my channel deleted, or just getting jammed up through the years setting me back! Dj’s saying no to my music, doors closing in my face, folks not believing the vision but when they see a little spark they come running back..
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I’m A Rapper 1st * entertainer * I wouldn’t have done half of the things if it wasn’t for my music.. but to go a little into details I manage myself, edit my own YouTube videos, and write my own music
What I’m most proud of is sticking to my vision I made at a young age and not letting the world take it from me.
We’d be interested to hear your thoughts on luck and what role, if any, you feel it’s played for you?
Both but mainly good luck and ion even think it’s luck it’s god! He will close a door to open a bigger one
