HIStory as told by Brian

Hey 👋🏾 Hope all is well in your world! This month is steadily moving forward at such a fast pace, so take every moment possible and fill it with all the positive you can fit. It is still the month of melanin celebration and here we are going to highlight the entrepreneur and the creative. I have the pleasure of sharing a very multitalented and special individual who goes by the name of Brian or CoachBrineGetYouFine. I have the pleasure of not only being a friend, but a fan of his music, and a client. His story is unique and his services are expansive. I can personally attest to the changes experienced with his guidance. Check out the previous post that shows firsthand the progress https://www.afancyvibe.com/post/a-new-year-and-new-ventures . Take a moment and read a little about his why, and what amazing products he has to offer along with the knowledge to properly assist your custom needs. I surely appreciate him taking the time to answer a few questions; the answers below are in 2 parts because Brian is a serial entrepreneur and we love it.

Question 1: How long have you shared your art with the world and how did you start?

1. Part1: I made a big breakthrough as a musician in 2013. Since I studied in bass studies, I really didn't have an option, so it truly felt like immersion. Some of the best friends I've ever had in my life are people I'll never forget meeting. Even now, we all maintain regular contact with one another and collaborate on projects. When you consider the bigger picture of life and how little time we have left on this planet, it's like a dream come true.

1.Part 2: I have always had roots in the natural world as an expert in holistic wellbeing and weight management. As I started attending school for music, I also snuck time away to spend as much time as I could in the biology, chemistry, and anatomy books. There was just something unique about the way these plants and roots developed specifically to maintain the equilibrium of us people. It wasn't until 2018 that I truly made the decision to offer my skills to others outside of my family and friends. Everyone who has so far been a part of my healing journey for my community experienced a deeper dive at that point.

Question 2: What or who is your biggest inspiration?

2. Part.1 : My family, especially my father, is my main musical inspiration. I was thrown into the sea by him for the first time. I'll never forget the Casio piano he had, which I used to practice on as a child in an effort to learn how to play left-handed music. Even though everything was going sideways for me, he continued to encourage me to improve in all facets of my abilities and capabilities.

2. Part 2: In terms of medicine, the legendary Dr. Llaila O. Afrika and his wife Dr. Melanie Stevenson are my major inspirations. He just taught everything in such a raw, direct manner. And for me, it was a breath of fresh air to have a woman who is equally as intelligent and on the same page as him.

Question 3: What do you want to leave behind?

3. Part 1: Musically, I'm still unsure. I consider how much I've given up and spent in music for others to the point that, in a sense, I don’t even know what I want to "leave behind." When I pass away, as long as I leave everything and my all behind, I will be content because I will be able to pass through those high gates and rest my spirit. being able to visit my grandmother and God once again.

3. Part 2: From a holistic perspective, I want to leave not only a legacy, but an impression on the neighborhood that demonstrates what will happen to our people if we let God and natural cures lead the way. In contemporary western civilization, we have deviated so far from wellness that we are unable to even have civil conversations with one another about the little things in life. Even our happiness has diminished. These days, there is so much negativity running amok that all I can do is hope for everyone's happiness and recovery.

Question 4: What is it that the general public can do to support you?

4. Part 1. Musically: Attend concerts and shows. One of the best ways to support a musician is by attending their concerts and shows. This not only shows support but also helps the musician connect with their audience.
