In every career, passion is very important. Through passion, people become resilient and get the courage to overcome any obstacle they may encounter along their journey to success. Realizing our passions at a young age gives our lives the right trajectory. Zeal, determination, and persistence help us achieve our dreams. French Konnect is an excellent example of a person who has followed his passion in the music industry, and he is now a dominant figure in the industry.
French is a French-American rap and trap producer born and raised in Paris. His passion for the music industry began at a tender age, and he took his first step into the musical world during his youthful stages while living in Vanves. At 16, French moved to Atlanta in the United States to pursue a career in political science. Although this field differed from his passion for the music industry, it created a chance for him to network with great artists. While in Atlanta, he became friends with rappers like Jadakiss, Wacka Flocka, and Young Scooter, who introduced him to many local celebrities.
When you are determined to achieve any goal in life, you are prompted to stretch yourself beyond any limit to become successful. At times, getting to greater heights requires you to prove your worth to gain meaningful connections. Due to French’s hunger to show that he could mix and make instrumental beats, he would accompany the local celebrities during their studio sessions, waiting for his turn to prove his talent.
Though it might take longer to achieve your dreams, every step toward your goal is worth it and takes you closer to realizing your dream. French gradually began to compose his music, and since then, his journey has been making tremendous milestones, and there was no turning back from his greatness. Through mentorship, we can realize our full potential and get a clearer vision of where we want to be. During his early days in the industry, he was shadowed by other celebrity producers such as BGrand, Macfly Beatz, ATL Jacobs, and Fuse. Through their mentorship, he was able to refine his technique and begin to place productions for renowned artists. His collaborations with Young Thug, Juice WRLD, and Future were a startup he didn’t think would happen so soon.
Self-determination coupled with mentorship has helped French scale great heights, and he has been able to start his music label, Konnect Gang Records. He has created a platform for other emerging artists to grow their brand from unknown artists in the same way that he did from renowned artists. Konnect Gang Records has managed to sign two rappers, Skrew Davinchi and Big Beagle.
French’s ambition is to grow and expand his music label to be internationally recognized with a global fan base stretching from the United States to France and beyond. He plans to sign several producers of French and American nationalities to create a twist in hip-hop with a worldwide trap culture. Additionally, he wishes to take advantage of his local contracts with those he has in his native country and establish connections between France and the United States. Also, his short-term goal is to collaborate with big names in the industry. Currently, French is working on his solo album, in which he plans to involve many renowned artists.
