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

Hi Zag, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
My thought process behind starting my own business was showcasing talent in the forefront and also behind the scenes. As a creative myself, I know that there is so much more that goes on before an artist hits the screen or stage and I wanted to really go into the talented teams that create with some of your favorite artists. I also that it was important to show those who are not only established but those who are up and coming. There are some brilliant people who have yet to be discovered.

What should our readers know about your business?
My company 925 Grind Media is a place where we recognize those in the forefront and behind the scenes. As a new, small business it hasn’t been easy but it’s worth it because of the talented people I get to speak with. While we will expand into other media forums later this year we currently have the podcast “Talent You Should Know” which showcases talented people in the public eye and those on their teams. So that is Famouse and up and coming actors, musicians, makeup artists, hairstylists, producers, managers etc.

I got here by continuing to push forward and choosing to think differently even when I doubted myself. Because I want to be the top show where people are showcased I am always looking for new ways to pour into people. I’ve learned more about Google Ads, how you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take, that fear is not an option because it is only there to keep you from achieving your dreams and that every day is a new day that you get to live out your dreams.

What I would like people to know about me and this brand is that we are truly here to shine a light on Talent. To embrace , encourage and showcase those who may think that they aren’t seen and hear the real stories of those who are. We are interested in your story. The unsigned indie artist, freelance make-up artist, new producer etc. Everyone on my show are people that I beleive in and am interested in there story and love their work. Because if not, then it would be me not being authentic – and that is so important in this business and in life.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Oh Wow… so what’s crazy is one of my FAVORITE places here closed down a couple of years ago and that was Fado’s on Wazee. But… if we were to do a long weekend…

Friday:
See whatever many concerts are in town
Downtown to Onyx Lounge and Dinner at Work and Class

Saturday:
Drive to go camping near Silver Lake…

Sunday:
Breakfast at Lucilles or Original Pancake House
Summer Concert in the Park

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would like to dedicate this to my children who taught me how to be stronger that I knew possible and have encouraged me this entire time. I want dedicate this to the man who saved my life two years ago because I wouldn’t have been here had it not been for him and I wouldn’t have stepped out to do the things that make me happy and help others be recognized. I shout out God at all times… because without Him I am nothing. I want to shout out my supporters those who I know and don’t know because you keep me going always. And finally my parents who have been there for me, inspire me and continue to let me annoy them. As well as my Aunt Mickey and Uncle Don who taught me the meaning of unconditional love.
