LaRussell Thomas (Formerly Tota) has been writing rhymes since the second grade.  Today, 27-years-old, LaRussell has been working on his craft consistently for over two decades.  His love for music and dream of being heard began its realization in 2018 shortly after he released his first project with the world.  Sitting on a park bench, hearing his songs blasting on a stranger's stereo was a tipping point in his self-belief and overall journey.  He is consistency.  He is hope.  He is inspiration.  He is independence.  He is good vibes.  And today he is on the High Performing Student Podcast talking about his artistry, creative process and personal belief system.

Attendance and intentional practice are key.  Don't let these simple words fool you, because although they sound simple, they are not easy.  In fact, it's incredibly easy to do the opposite; be absent and train without focus and purpose.  I've been boxing six times per week for the past 45 days and sometime in the next 6-12 months, I will have my first amateur fight.  I'm nervous but also extremely excited about this new athletic journey.   ----------   Never miss a podcast episode: podcast.samdemma.com Connect with Sam: Instagram Youtube Email
