Continental T. shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Good morning Continental T. , it’s such a great way to kick off the day – I think our readers will love hearing your stories, experiences and about how you think about life and work. Let’s jump right in? Are you walking a path—or wandering?
I’ve been doing music professionally and internationally for almost 2 decades, from crossing paths with the biggest stars to the smallest, we all played our part. In the instance of feeling if I’m wandering, it could’ve never been that, my goal has always been to dream and live. As cliché as that may sound my faith has truly taken me down so many paths that were predestine and furthermore something I knew that was on my way. In no means has anything ever been easy but I believe I’ve been on my path since the moment I fell in love with music and just the thought of helping others..
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
rst and foremost, I am a father to a beautiful family of children. On top of that, I am an international artist and producer who was initially signed to Atmo/Sony France back in 2010 now with BMI France and my independently owned label “ Atlantis Found”. I’ve worked on records for many artists and was even involved in a leaked collaboration between Drake and Lil Wayne titled “I’m Going In.”
I’ve been published on numerous mixtapes with my former DJ, DJ CapCom, who also DJ’d for Mac Miller and others. My first group album performed well in Europe thanks to our breakout single “Cette Nuit,” which ultimately catapulted my entire career.
Since then, I’ve been able to help other artists in the entertainment industry both musically and beyond. Now, I’m able to pass down everything I’ve learned to my son, who has become musically inclined himself. We’re already producing and recording our own projects together, and watching his growth is one of my greatest honors.
Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. What was your earliest memory of feeling powerful?
I remember this day vividly. We were in the carpet gym at my school, and everyone wanted to freestyle. I didn’t even know I could do it, but something told me to give it a try. I went from not knowing I could rap to suddenly battling two dudes at the same time.
Everyone from 6th to 8th grade was in the room, and the whole place went silent whenever I stepped up to say something. Long story short—I bodied both of them on my very first time ever freestyling. From that moment on, I discovered my power as a writer and how quickly I can create things that others can’t.
What have been the defining wounds of your life—and how have you healed them?
Ultimately, the things that happened with my French group “We Are Me” are situations I wish could have been handled differently. I understand the industry now on a much deeper level, to the point where I realize there are some things we simply cannot control—no matter what contracts we sign.
That kind of understanding comes in layers, and it’s up to you, as a product of the industry, to figure out how to maintain your path or excel through those moments.
Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? What would your closest friends say really matters to you?
My family , them and music lol . Then they may bring up my love to just help everyone in anyone possible that I can. It’s truly a life goal to keep repeating .
Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. What do you understand deeply that most people don’t?
You truly can do anything you want to do . It just involves steps that some aren’t willing to conquer yet . I believe we all get our chance to shine even in the darkest hours and only faith in yourself could take you through that type of mental state
