Interview With Musical Artist, GHOSTX

Interview With Musical Artist, GHOSTX

SEPTEMBER 2022 - DALLAS, TEXAS- 

Brandon Long, also known as ‘GHOSTX’, or ‘Ghost’ is a musical artist, actor, motivational speaker, model, writer, and author from St Louis, Missouri.. The Ferguson area to be exact. GHOSTX now resides in Dallas, Texas. He comes from humble beginnings and has been dedicated to his work. He has focused on never stopping working and always having content to strive for. He has lots of upcoming work to look out for. 

“RIGHT NOW IM BUILDING IN DALLAS, WE BUZZING ON THE UNDERGROUND SCENE, SOME SOLID OPENING ACT SHOWS WITH A COUPLE BIG ARTIST UNDER MY BELT, AND JUST MIXING IT UP ON THE SCENE. STRATEGICALLY PLACING MYSELF AT CERTAIN, EVENTS, SHOWS, ETC. I'M IN THE PROCESS OF A MIXTAPE, IT'S STILL UNTITLED BUT THE THEME WILL SORT OF INTRODUCING MYSELF TO DALLAS AND PAYING HOMAGE TO SOME DALLAS LEGENDS, AND TEXAS LEGENDS IN GENERAL.” With the right intentions ahead, the unique business owner is hardworking with his work, and has qualities of being a strategist, determined, and passionate, GHOSTX stays positive.

GHOSTX remains honest on his journey and remains heavily influenced by motivating factors. He knows where his passion starts from and speaks more on his inspirations that keep him consistent. “WHAT INSPIRES ME IS THE FACT IT HAS TO GET DONE! YOU EITHER LOVE THIS STUFF OR YOU DON'T. YOU EITHER GOING TO GRIND IT OUT AND GO GET IT OR YOU WON'T. YOU GOING TO EITHER APPLY THE GAS, PUMP YO BRAKES, OR NOT MOVE AT ALL. THE PLACE I'M FROM WE GO GET IT! ALL GAS!” GHOSTX stays consistent and has been seen at lots of shows doing what he loves.

As a business owner, what are some obstacles you have had to overcome to get where you are at now?

BY KEEPING MY MIND SHARP, BY OBSERVING, FOLLOWING MY INSTINCTS AND VISIONS I SEE, TRUSTING THE ENERGY I FEEL. MOST IMPORTANTLY, I ALWAYS HAD THE ABILITY NO MATTER THE OBSTACLE TO WRITE, COMPOSE, DREAM AND CREATE! WITH THOSE THINGS PRESENT, IT'S NO OBSTACLE YOU CANT OVERCOME, YOU JUST GOTTA FIND A WAY. IF THAT WAY DON'T WORK YOU HIT THE BACK DOOR!

I WANT THE WORLD TO SEE I DID THE WORK! I TRUSTED THE PROCESS, NO MATTER HOW SHORT OR LONG. I MADE SACRIFICES; DO I EAT OR USE THIS $20 FOR GAS MONEY TO GET TO THIS SHOW. DO I GO CHILL WITH MY PEOPLE OR HIT THE STUDIO? IF YOU WANT THIS LIFE AND THIS CRAFT, YOU GONNA SACRIFICE OR LOSE SOMETHING. IT'S INEVITABLE.

What do you have coming up that you want others to know about?

I'M COMING UP RIGHT NOW! THAT'S SOMETHING THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT! ALOTTA SHOWS, TRAVELING AND FINISHING THIS MIXTAPE.

Even though GHOSTX is devoted to perfecting the art of his craft to the highest level, his hardships have made him want to do even better in his business as well. “ALOTTA HATE, IMMORAL BUSINESS PRACTICES, A LOT OF TALK LITTLE ACTIONS. IN THIS BUSINESS YOU GOT TO GET THINGS DONE. IF YOU CAN'T DO IT, HIRE SOMEONE WHO CAN. IF YOU CAN'T DO THAT, YOU BETTER LEARN IT YOURSELF, THEN APPLY IT. ALOTTA ARTISTS AND THE BUSINESS OWNERS LACK THE DISCIPLINE TO EXECUTE THE PLAN. IF BY CHANCE YOU'RE IN BUSINESS WITH THEM, IT COULD HINDER OR STALL YOU AND YOUR BUSINESS.” GHOSTX is now focused on continuing to be the best in his city, so that he can build on his already strong foundation even more than it already is.

GHOSTX mentions within the interview that certain individuals in his life have inspired him to be great, starting from his own family. “MY POPS WAS ESSENTIAL (R.I.P. MELVIN J. LONG) HE TAUGHT ME ALOT ABOUT LIFE, MANHOOD, AND ADULTHOOD, HE WAS THERE EVERY PHASE OF MY LIFE UP UNTIL THE DEATH OF HIS. THE TYPE POPS YOU PRAY TO HAVE. MY DAUGHTER, THE BALANCE AND CALM TO THE CHAOS. MY FRIENDS, THEY ALL KEEP ME GROUNDED AND ON POINT, IF IM TRIPPIN, THEY'LL TELL ME.”

As a result of the COVID-19 epidemic, a lot of big-crowd events, like concerts and festivals, were banned in 2021. This was because of restrictions put in place by both the city and the federal government. As a result, the number of chances for artists to show off their skills has been dramatically cut down. GHOSTX remained steadfast through it all.
