Sometimes we meet a person who can inspire us to understand who we are, examine our passions and look at whether we are living in a way that fits what drives us or we are holding back from living life to the fullest. VibeRW, producer, entertainer, song writer and musician has had a life journey full of extraordinary experiences, struggles, loss and success.
I had the privilege of sitting with VibeRW and talking with him about his music, his passions and his story.
EB: Tell me about how and when you became interested in music.
VibeRW: At an early age, I saw an upright piano, worn out with raggedy keys; and the moment I touched the keys I knew that is what I would be doing the rest of my life. I did not know how to play, but I sat there for hours and played it. Later when I was eleven years old, my mother bought a piano for herself, I ended up staying on it night and day. I never stopped playing…..it found me, I did not find it.
You have to know that I love this one. Music has always been a very important part of my life. Thank you for a great interview
Yes Larry! Glad you liked this interview. VIBE is a great person and musician and we do what we can to assist him in sharing his talents…
Inspiration can come from the fictitious world too. How many people were inspired by the Superman, King Arthur or even Lex Luthor? Some feel these characters are more real to them than real people. You dig deep enough and you will find that the fictitious stories that we heard as children have a strong influence on who we are today.
Chris, so true! I believe we live vicariously through ficticious characters because they represent a part of us. Seeing their strengths, struggles, joys, sorrows and triumphs gives validation to our own trials, tribulations and successes. A mirror of real life played on the big screen….Eileen
From a ’60 cartoon I watched so many years ago…
Hercules, hero of song and story.
Hercules, winner of ancient glory.
Fighting for the right,
Fighting with his might,
With the strength of ten, ordinary men.
Hercules, people are safe when near him.
Hercules, only the evil fear him.
Softness in his eyes,
Iron in his thighs,
Virtue in his heart,
Fire in every part,
Of the Mighty Hercules.
Inspiring interview! What a great example that we have to own our aspirations. What do you think VibeRW would say to people who’ve never had an encouraging cousin (or something similar)?
Carol, thank you! VibeRW is an amazing person and I agree, a great example in owning our aspirations. I believe he would say look within and find your inner spark, then take the steps to achieve your dreams. BTW: I have passed along your question to him and as soon as he gives me his response I will share it with you. It will be nice to know what he would say.
Awesome thanks! I think your answer is terrific, and I’m looking forward to what he has to add, too!
You are welcome! As soon as I hear back from him I will let you know. Glad you like my answer (smiling). Have a wonderful day!
