Get to know: Shot By Strick

Explain who you are for those who dont know
I go by the name Shot By Strick. Videographer / Creative from Atlanta, Georgia,  moved to Phoenix Arizona September 13 2019. Didn’t know any one at all. Just wanted to see what AZ had to offer. Once i touched down in AZ I got straight on the gram started getting my followers up,  started to collab with a few photographers/creatives  “S.Creme & Tazzz Devol”  and a lot of models and it took off from there, branded the hell out of myself and can say how proud i am on how far I’ve came in less then a year.

How long have you been doing video work?
I’ve been doing video work for a year .

Who are your influences?
With my Creative Style I’m my biggest influence tbh. The way I shoot women and how it looks after nobody can you can compare me to. Let me explain more in detail. The biggest thing that catches everyone’s eye when they come across my work is the angels. Those are the most important things people look for when it comes to shooting videos especially the Women, they love it! After that comes the chop ups of the clips & color grade wit my cinematic look. I can make a 15-45 second video look like a movie. 

How did you come up with your name?
Shot By Strick – Strick is short for my last name “Strickland” – so I took that and put together Shot By Strick. Short and simple, because the work going to make the name stand out more.

Definitely, it’s all in the works for 2021

How do you feel about the current state of hiphop?
It’s amazing but I feel as if it needs a new sound and that’s definitely where I’m coming in. I know a few artists such as Yung Bleu, Fatboy SSE and Yung Bans have been watching my stories on Instagram, and I’ve actually been talking to them about getting some work done.

Get to know: Tazzz Devol.

Explain who you are for those who dont know?
My name is Tazzz Devol. A photographer/creative from Seattle WA

Who are your influences?
Someone that influenced me is Photographer Chi Modu His work is amazing to me. Captured a lot of iconic moments in the industry. Definitely a major reason why I love photography.

When did you first pick up a camera?
I first picked up a camera back in 2016-17 but didn’t really start taking it serious til 2018. I use to take pics of some old friends in college. I knew this was something I wanted to do at some point because I was always around some big names. Music artists, public figures, models, athletes and other creatives. I was a recruit in high school and traveled a lot so I knew I had even more access to that lifestyle. I just told myself why not document everything since I’m always around it. It’s fun, it can get hectic sometimes but I love it, I love creating and capturing dope moments cause every shoot or pic I take has a story behind it.

How did you meet Harris?
I knew of Harris since 2016-17 through friends an IG But never really had the time or chance to link up with bro.

What’s it like having someone like him helping you?
Harris is one of a kind man. I was a young struggling artist coming out of college just tryna find a way and make some stuff shake. I was doing shoots and working at events and made a name for myself. I was always pretty cool people you know public figure, music artist, models ect but tbh i ultimately wanted to be around people that we’re doing or on the same thing I WANTED to be on. Which was creative every day and next thing you know we finally connect. Another brother of mine Shakur better known as S.Creme another photographer had us link up and we talked we were all on the same page with literally everything we wanted to do. Harris allowed me to come in an literally put me in a better situation and position to go even crazier with the photographer business right away. He helps bring the best out of me an the rest of the guys always he’s always pushing us to be the best we can be. Very genuine an humble. Super driven an always ready to get stuff done.

Anything else you’d like to say?
2021 is definitely gonna be one hell of a rollercoaster but we’re ready to get after everything. Definitely some big things coming an I’m just grateful to be here with the guys an do the things we really love to do.

Get to know: Young Luv

Explain who you are for those who don’t know
Well my name is Cole, but I go by young luv, and it used it to be corrow. Im 18 and I’m a singer from Vancouver, Washington. Nobody really knows me, I’m isolated, I spend most of my time on my own.

How long have you been making music?
Ive been making music since I was 14, I bought Ableton and made some shit, but Fl Studio was much easier for me to work with so I started producing EDM beats on there and then I got into pop and trap and underground stuff and my style really matured. That’s when I started singing too

What’s your goals?
My goals are to make a ton of music and change people’s conceptions about what rap is. Cause I kinda rap, but I like to sing more so it’s like a whole new genre.

Are you working on any projects?
I completed northwestemotion back in July, and then I kinda stopped, but now I’m working on a new album, and I’ve got a producer who’s helping me named DxU. He’s really cool but he lives in Russia so we do all our stuff on social media. The new album is gonna called young luv. There’s two singles out already and I’m gonna be working on more but I got a lot of music in the backchannels.

Who are your influences?
My influences are definitely underground stars like lil Peep and lil Tracy, and GBC and Wicca Phase and Coldhart. But I listen to a lot of the new stuff now on youtube, like Guardin, Sewerperson, and 6obby. I had a whole xxxTentacion phase back in high school too. 

Anything else you’d like to say?
As for what else I’d like to say mostly just that music can save people, like I had no idea what to do with my life until I found some of my favorite music and it inspired me and kept me alive. So I wanna help keep people alive and spread the love cause there’s a lot of joy out there to be found.
