Episode 68: James Supreme

“You have to invest in yourself before anyone can look at your situation and offer help. That’s what separates people.” 

Born in Nyack, NY, with the same birthday as Kobe, James entered this world to do something great. His family is first generation Haitian, and James grew up in a diverse neighborhood, as a kid playing basketball, loving hip hop, and into girls, clothes, and his tight crew of friends. 

But at 14 years old, his life was turned upside down, as he would have to leave everything he knew, and move to Georgia. Challenged with making new friends, experiencing racism, adapting to a new culture, and battling depression, James had to look in the mirror and ask himself “Who am I? What made me, me?”. As he progressed into college at Georgia State, pursuing pharmacy, photography, marketing, and learning the “art of the finesse”, James’ quest of self discovery continued. 

Then in 5 minutes, his whole life would change once again. A last minute trip to OVO fest would soon turn into the next chapter of James’ career, and launch him through the wild journey of the music industry. But this was more than finding a career opportunity, this was finding a purpose.

From tours with Drake, to managing Grammy nominated producers, and A&R at Universal Music Publishing, James is only now getting started. 

This is about working hard with integrity, and staying humble. This is about letting your purpose guide you. This is about connecting with people, and being grateful every step of the way. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is James Supreme. #MamaWeMadeIt
