We had the good fortune of connecting with Carrington Kelso and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Carrington, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking:
Risk has been one of the greatest teachers for me and my artistic career. I risked moving away from home , family, and friends in 2010 to go to a college that many hadn’t heard of. It ended up being one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I joined an amazing show choir, taught myself guitar, and fell in love with performing. In 2018, I risked a job I was making 5 figures at to see my idol perform at a legendary music festival; that festival was BEYCHELLA. I ended up losing my job, but that festival reminded me of what I wanted to do for the rest of my life…perform. As I’ve continued to traverse the music industry, I’ve seen time and time again that when I take risks, and bet on myself, I always come out on the other side better than I was before. I know that to sit amongst the greats I have to take risks, no matter how terrifying. I trust myself and my gifts to carry me through the doors I need to walk though, risks and all.
