We had the good fortune of connecting with Isaiah Carter and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Isaiah, where are your from? We’d love to hear about how your background has played a role in who you are today?
Growing up in Fort Collins and Mississippi was instrumental in shaping my journey, sparking a profound impact that has fueled my growth. My relationships with family, friends, and fellow artists have been a catalyst for my personal and artistic evolution, empowering me to reach new heights. Currently, I’m surrounded by a diverse community of musicians, which has inspired the creation of my album ‘DREAMS OF MY NIGHTMARES’. This introspective journey is a testament to my resilience, exploring my ambitions, fears, doubts, and growth. My time in Mississippi marked the beginning of my musical journey, where I discovered my passion for writing. Upon returning to Fort Collins, I collaborated with LMG and OMBonly, forming the group CDE ‘Clean, Dope, Entertainment’, which refined my sound. Working with Poe, LMG, and OMBonly for three years was a transformative experience that elevated my artistry. Subsequently, collaborating with my brother Timon opened doors to new opportunities, including a spot on a show by Rigz the rapper, which launched my performing career. I’ve had the privilege of meeting and collaborating with numerous artists, including Nick Nasty, Uncle Sushi, Tyler Skillman, Pedro4Prez, Sardonyx, Grim Keifer, Israel Lucero, Rosebay, TDG, Sagan Petr Smith, Varsuna, W?ke, Jhin, Sandy Ford, Bigbody SWISH, Satchel Foren, Cinco, and many others. Every encounter has been a valuable lesson, providing growth, wisdom, and knowledge. I believe that life’s experiences shape us, and it’s how we respond that truly matters. Our ability to navigate challenges defines us, and I aspire for my music to inspire others to strive for greatness. The individuals who have persevered through adversity inspire me the most, and their resilience, determination, and drive fuel my own journey. As I move forward, I’m committed to continuing my growth and empowering others through my music, spreading a message of hope and self belief.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
What drives me is the inspiration I draw from everyone around me, transforming every experience, whether triumph or setback, into a valuable lesson. I take immense pride in my personal growth and the progress of those around me. Through networking and collaboration, I have reached where I am today, and I am grateful for the impact everyone has had on my journey. Although it wasn’t easy, my passion for music has been the catalyst for my dedication. My goal is to inspire others to become the best version of themselves. I have learned that collaboration is key, and I believe that surrounding myself with people who are more accomplished than me is essential to my growth. I want to empower others to recognize that they are the heroes of their own stories. By embracing life’s challenges as opportunities for growth and experience, I believe we can all level up and reach our full potential.
