On today’s Episode 39 of Sculpt N Create, we sit down with rising hip hop artist EszJay — an artist who blends storytelling, vulnerability, and real-life experience into her music.

Her journey didn’t start with fame or a plan…It started with heartbreak.

From going viral unexpectedly on Facebook Live to stepping away from music to focus on her mental health, EszJay opens up about the real challenges behind chasing a creative dream — including depression, identity loss, and navigating relationships while trying to grow.

We dive into:

• How pain and heartbreak sparked her music journey

• Losing yourself in relationships and finding your way back

• The reality of balancing a demanding career as a nurse with building a music career

• The challenges of being a female artist in a male-dominated space

• Why she’s returning to storytelling with her upcoming EP “S.H.E.B.A.D.” (She Hustles Every Day Building And Dominating)

  
  

This episode is for creatives who are rebuilding, rediscovering themselves, and learning how to stay aligned while chasing their purpose.

🎯 If you’ve ever felt like you lost yourself trying to love someone else — this conversation will hit home.
