We live in a society where popular opinion is what defines creative direction, Status challenges that narrative by encouraging listeners to stay true and authentic to who they are because that is very unique to our character. 

No one ever changed the world by conforming!!

BLANK CANVAS

STAND TALL

The most important and crucial tool man has to succeed in life is the power of self-awareness.

WORD OF MOUTH (freestyle)

Optimistic Status is a rapper/producer (artist)from South Africa. The name ‘optimistic’ was actually inspired by the tough come up that most people growing up the city can relate to, just how life can happen to you but it’s often your outlook(perspective) that matters most and really shapes character. 

Status is a student of life, this you can hear in the content of his music and the selection of beats is often hard-knocking bass paired with soulful chords. 

“I grew up playing drums and keys at church and that drew me to the likes of, NeoSoul and Jazz. I’ve always loved RnB soul since way back so it only makes sense that this would reflect in the music I make, simply because it has become a part of who I am” - Optimistic Status

“The soundtrack to my life is yet to be written, that’s why I’m always working” - Status
