NEXTLEVEL:
Finding Happiness and Depth Through
Music
In today’s music industry, success is often measured in streams, chart positions, and social media followers. But for rapper and artist NEXTLEVEL, the meaning of success runs much deeper. For him, creating music is about something far more profound than numbers—it’s about fulfillment, personal growth, and emotional expression. This artist has carved his own lane, refusing to be defined solely by commercial benchmarks. Instead, he approaches his artistry with an emphasis on spiritual satisfaction and authenticity, a perspective that sets him apart in a competitive and often fast-paced industry. “I measure success in my music beyond the numbers, by the happiness I feel while creating it,” NEXTLEVEL shares. “That, to me, is the only right answer. I feel like happiness is the thing we want to achieve the most as humans. Fulfillment of whatever sits inside you crooked and unsatisfying. That spiritual itch. When I’m making music, I feel happy. When I’m being the best artist I can be.” Those words reveal a creative mindset deeply rooted in purpose rather than external validation. For NEXTLEVEL, the act of making music is therapeutic, offering him a space where he can explore emotions and experiences while crafting sounds that resonate with others. His artistic journey is not simply about building a catalog of music; it’s about pursuing a calling that fulfills him and challenges him to be his best self.
