Building A Personal Brand as An Artist and Writer

In today’s world, personal branding is everything.

But for artists and writers like me, it’s not about pretty aesthetics or curated bios — it’s about identity. About honesty. About building something real that reflects every messy, powerful, emotional part of who we are.

I’m still in the struggling phase.
Not the worst place to be — I get paid to write for clients, and I run a blog that feels like home.
It started out as my personal diary. A safe space to unpack everything in my head — the things I couldn’t say out loud, the thoughts that felt too intense or too weird for regular conversation.

I started blogging because I needed someone to talk to.
A friend. A lover. Someone I could tell everything.
But I had none. The people I once trusted either didn’t care to listen or broke my trust.

So I turned to the page.
And in that silence, I found my voice.

Writing to Be Heard

When I write, I’m talking to someone — maybe you.
You’re here, reading this, and that means you either understand me, or you want to.
And that matters.

I don’t put walls up here. I don’t mask or sugarcoat. Maybe it’s because I’m faceless in a way, and that gives me comfort.
In writing, I can be bare. Vulnerable. Loud.
In music, I can be wild — angry, sexy, sad, soft.

Music is the rhythm tying together the chaos in my head.
It’s my other voice.
If writing is my thoughts, music is my emotions.
The hot, the hurting, the healing — all of it poured out in sound.

Who Is Sea 4 Emgodz?

                                                

Sea stands for my initials.
But Sea 4 Emgodz? That’s bigger. It means I belong to the gods.
It’s me claiming my divinity.
I’m not of this earth. I’m powerful. Blessed. Confident. Different.

It’s not just a name — it’s a brand. A movement. A message.

And maybe that’s why I love Central Cee so much. That rawness. That unapologetic power. That drive.

This year, I told myself:
I’m Pushing P.
In writing. In music. In business.
I'm ramming through life like a bull, ready to take everything that’s mine.

Enter: Sea the Menace

                                                    

That drive? That boldness? That fire? That’s my alter ego — Sea the Menace.
They’ve been in control lately, and honestly… I love it.
They’re fierce. Loud. Unapologetic. Confident. A little dangerous.
They want what’s theirs and they’re not asking twice.

In the past few months, I’ve felt them taking the wheel — and the success, the wins, the clarity I’ve experienced lately…
Yeah. That’s them.

They’re me. Just more turned up.
And when they rap, it’s fire.
When they write, it’s raw.
When they speak, they own every word.

I have to tame them sometimes. But truthfully? They’re why I’ve been so happy. So locked in. So hungry.

Pushing P & Making Music for My Mood

As an artist, I make music for how I feel — sexy, sad, wild, angry, soft.
But I’m learning to make music that others will love, and I’ll still love it too.
That’s what I found with Pushing P.

Let’s be real: we’re all pushing P.
Pushing peace.
Pushing power.
Pushing product.
Pushing purpose.

Every day we wake up and fight for our lives to work, our art, our goals, and our peace of mind.
And yes, it’s exhausting.
But it’s also beautiful.

Because you’re still here.
Still trying.
Still pushing.

 Never Back Down Energy

There’ll be rejections. Delays. Sad days.
You’ll feel like quitting.
And that’s okay.

Cry. Mourn. Whip yourself emotionally if you have to.

But then get up.
Wipe your tears.
And try again.

I watched Never Back Down when I was seventeen.
A martial arts movie. The main character kept getting beat down. But the rage to prove himself? It consumed him.
So he got up. He fought. He won.

Ten years later, that scene still hits.
But now it hits in a grown way.
Because now I know what it means to be broken… and rebuild yourself anyway.

Becoming My Brand

                                              

So yes — I’m still in the struggling phase.
But I’m also building something that’s real.

This brand?
It’s not just a stage name. It’s not just aesthetics.

It’s the truth of who I am.
It’s the power of my pen.
The chaos of my mind.
The sea that is me — deep, calm, wild, raging, mysterious.

Sea 4 Emgodz is becoming.
And I’m not backing down.

I’m gorilla.
And these 100 men don’t stand a chance.
