Celebrity wedding: Julia Roberts and Danny Moder
Art comes in many forms and is expressed in so many ways. A.L. Roberts art comes in the form of words. ALR is a Journalist by day and aspiring recording artist by night. ALR is a man who looks to inspire and motivate all he comes into contact with. Creating founder of WhyBlueMatters: www.whybluematters.com ,?ALR gave individuals a chance to showcase their aspirations. Today I present a man who is not only pursuing his own goals but also helping others in their pursuit: A.L. Roberts:
So you are a journalist and musician how do you balance the two?
ALR: It requires some focus. However, I keep the big picture in mind— continue to impact the world. Whether with music or with journalistic endeavors, it has always been move others (in a positive way, of course) with my efforts. So with energies striving toward that, there?s always something to do. They balance themselves out.??
Which one do you feel you’re better at?
ALR: I don?t feel I?m better in one area over the other because at the end of the day, I?m doing what I?m passionate about, and that?s to write. I’m always writing something. Whether that’s the next song lyric, requesting interviews via email or jotting down ideas the skill is constantly being refined.?
Do you find it easier to write being involved in both?
ALR: Because I write so frequently, I really have gotten the chance to hone and develop my skills. If at any time there?s a moment of writer?s block in one area,? pick up with where I left off with the other. The goal is to become better in all sense of the word. Why be good or great, when one can be better? There?s always room for improvement.?
What is WBM?
ALR: WBM stands for Why Blue Matters.? It?s the lifestyle group and online platform, I founded going on almost 3 years ago. We?re dedicated to showcasing aspirations and the results of those who turn their aspirations into reality. We since our inception have discovered two things: there are those?who?strive to?become an influence as well as those who?seek to remain influential. t Regardless of where an individual may be there?s always the ambition to influence,? we want to present the world with a variety of people and/or organizations that do this, to uplift and?inspire.??
What inspired the creation of WBM?
ALR: To be honest, Napoleon Hill and his books ?Think and Grow Rich? and ?The Law of Success?.? I have always been an admirer of those who not only have an ideal of what they wish to become but also set forth to actually obtain what it is he or she desires. It?s quite inspiring to me. I wanted to create a platform that told stories of those people.
If you’re musical career takes you away from home, is there a team in place to keep WBM running smoothly??
ALR: Whether home or away from it, there won?t be ever a time that WBM will not run smoothly. We have laid a significant amount of groundwork and it can sustain itself. However, I must say that I couldn’t do this without the help of the team who make things that much smoother. Shout Outs and many thanks to Fawn Nicole, Dre Weems, Ash, and the featured columnist we have adding more significance to what we?re doing.
What was the idea behind your album Bottled Water?
ALR: That?s a great question. Bottled Water was an idea that I had wanted to bring to life for a little while now. This past summer, thankfully I was able to get bring everything to fruition. The concept derived from a number of sources. Music and Water being two sustainers of life and by delivery or rap style by many who have critiqued it as something that just flowed. So on this project, my debut project at that, wanted to introduce myself to world and in a smooth fashion providing a refreshing listen to life, love, motivation and inspiration.
What’s next for A.L. Roberts and WBM?ALR: What?s next? Growth. Definitely want to continue to expand and develop, both as a writer and as a budding entrepreneur. We?re now in the 4th Quarter of the year and we?re getting ready to close things out strong. Not really much for divulging everything as I like to show and inspire, but definitely keep a close look out as there will be another music project coming in November as well something very special to take WBM to the next level.
