WHY SLY? INTERVIEW WITH TEXAS T
- One of the things we've noticed here at Sly is that you have a very high-energy persona, and it's something you mention in your bios. You are an amazing entertainer, and we'd like to know if you have any specialized training that allows you to perform the way you do or if you're just a naturally high-energy, go all-out person?
A: I get asked this question all the time because people are surprised that my energy is always naturally high. I tell people all the time that what you see on-stream is how I am off-stream. I do feel that my past has prepared me for streaming. Being a singer, actor, writer and comedian has allowed me to hone my energy. Plus, it's a gift to see my energy make other people happy!
- Your passion for Sly matches your persona. You believe in what we do. What is it about Sly that makes you want everyone to try it?
A: Sly is the opposite of what everyone is used to in energy drinks. Sly is a healthy, natural product that was created by two amazing individuals who actually care about the health of the people that drink it. And, of course, the taste is amazing. I have to literally hide them from my wife!!
- You're a parent, as well as a gamer. When you started your streaming career, was the overall goal to show something to your kids? On the same note, as a parent, what do you feel is the best use of Sly? Is it more of a drink to allow adults to chill out? Is it something you would give to your kids after a rough day at school? All of the above?
A: When I started streaming, my goal was to show my kids that it was never too late to chase your dreams. I'm a different streamer who takes pride in the fact that I have a clean platform, so my children can see that you can create your own lane different from others and still be successful. I now understand that streaming is fulfilling a purpose God has given me to show others what Christ's love looks like. The use of Sly is Rated "E" for EVERYBODY! Adults and children can use it, especially children who have high energy or might experience anxiety the night before a test.
- Sly was able to garner a dedicated following through word-of-mouth. Social media works in a similar fashion. When did you realize you had the following you did and, in retrospect, how do you think you were able to reach out to those people?
A: What a great question! I realized I had a following when people would contact me to want to help me build my community. People I didn't know were so committed to seeing my platform grow that they formed their own committees and started to share and build upon ideas that turned into an amazing community that I call the "Congregation/The Upper Room." I was able to do this by consistently putting out content, whether it was streaming, creating offline content on all social media platforms, or networking with other creators.
- You recently put up highlights of musical moments of your streams. As a lover of music, is there a particular song you associate with Sly? If not, do you think Sly is more of a genre? If so, which one?
A: The song I think exemplifies Sly is the song "Ain't No Stoppin’ Us Now" by McFadden & Whitehead. Sly has been making moves since its creation and the momentum will continue to grow!
