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

Hi Anthony, what role has risk played in your life or career?
I view risk as a necessary part of growth for anyone especially when you’re in any creative field. For me it’s just been about having faith to keep going each and every day even though nothing is promised. When you pursue something like music there’s no clear path to success and the road is full of risks that need to be taken to keep seeing results.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I feel maybe not what sets me apart but what keeps me going is the love for the craft and the long run of the journey.

What really makes me excited is the chance to make connections with other creatives, put out that could inspire another individual, and just do what I’ve always felt was my calling each day.

I’m still so far from where I’d like to be but my progress has been something I’m very grateful for. Being able to finally make some money from what I do has been super rewarding and it definitely hasn’t been easy but looking back on the obstacles it took just to get to this point it’s definitely been worth it.

I feel I’ve been able to overcome challenges just by realizing it’s a life long commitment and not every day will be easy. The more you’re able to get through them the easier it gets for me at least which has been all about reaching that personal level of understanding to keep pursuing and keep pushing through.

For me and my brand Proven Knowledge the real message is to just keep being your true creative self and always trust yourself when it’s all said and done. If anything I just want to let other creatives know they should always keep their freedom of expression and keep betting on themselves time and time again.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Well there’s not a ton of spots in Ohio to visit but for me I love going to some of the state parks to enjoy nature and the scenery in the summertime.

There’s a park near my house called Quail Hollow where I go to use the walking trails and just get away for a bit from the noise. I’d say if the person was into that sort of thing they’d have a great time too you just gotta visit when the weather is warm of course.

Other than that I mean there’s Cedar Point, sports games like the Cavaliers and Guardians that could be fun too.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I never look at one individual specifically but for me it’s definitely been thanks to my close friends and my indirect mentors as well. Having friends to work on music with early on was such a huge part of giving me the ability to learn and grow. That added with the advice and teachings I gained through the education I’ve had from other producers and music marketers really helped me get out of my comfort zone and put myself in a position to see results over the last 7 years.
