Today we’d like to introduce you to Lazarus Lynch
Hi Lazarus , please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I grew up in Jamaica, Queens. My parents were both busy raising a family and working. My mother was a secretary and my father installed carpet. From the time I was a kid, art was always my tool for connecting with the larger world and making sense of my place in it. I always knew as a child that my voice as an artist mattered and that I would share it with the world. As I grew up, I began to use social media as a way for sharing my artistry with the world. But having a good foundation of family, spirituality, and an intrinsic belief in myself all have nurtured me becoming who I am today.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
One of my struggles was letting go of older dreams as new ones were born. I think it’s important to keep your heart and mind open to new opportunities, even if they are the farthest thing from what you thought you wanted.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I am most proud that my vision for creative works have led me to a space in my life and career where I am excited to share new works. I am very proud of my first cookbook, Son of a Southern Chef. I am proud of my first album, ‘Sanctuary’ and for all of the places my music reaches. I am also proud of my original films on YouTube and Facebook where I act in and play multiple characters. Now, I have so many cool things to look forward to as an artist.
Any advice for finding a mentor or networking in general?
Being a real person has always worked for me. I think people respond well to that. I also was very intentional about who I asked to mentor me. Not every good professional would be a good mentor, so I encourage you to take that relationship slow, be direct about your expectations, and keep it professional.
