Let’s introduce a new performing artist from the area who’s already working with kids. Tamond Briggs, have a seat in the SouthsideSeven chair.
Tamond just performed for the kids at a local school. Let’s get right down to the questions!
Zero down, SouthsideSeven to go…
SouthsideOne: Who are you and what do you do?
I’m Tamond Briggs, better known as “TSidekick”. I am a performing artist, not a rapper. I produce, perform and video my own music and videos. I also do desktop publishing, including graphic design.
SouthsideTwo: How did you get started doing this?
At four years old, he began his performing artist career singing in the church choir; then came the dancing. I actually took ballet, tap and jazz.
SouthsideThree: What recording artists have influenced you?
Chris Brown, Tyga, Aaliyah, So many. I just love music and dancing and I’m passionate about performing arts, particularly music and how it can be used to unify communities, empower youth and bridge cultural gaps.
SouthsideFour: What’s your career goal in life?
I was in college for engineering, but I love music and my career goal is to become a philanthropist and perform all over the globe to empower children and young adults.
SouthsideFive: I heard you did a performance at Rivermont Day School recently. Tell me about it?
Last week, I performed a few songs from my new album, “Imperfect Perfection” which was released on October 31st. . The children were invited to perform with me and did some of the latest dances. It made me feel good to know that some of the kids didn’t really like to be “on the spot” and were not really outgoing, but many of the staff said when they saw some of those same quiet kids up dancing with me they were surprised. My motto is “DREAM BIG, ACHIEVE BIGGER” and I am dreaming BIG.
SouthsideSix: In your next life, you’re going to have to be reincarnated as a vehicle… but you get to choose what car? What make and model of a car
will you pick (and why)?
I would be a Flying Car. I would be a Ford Mustang Jet. I choose this car because it’s sporty and fast. This car fits me because I’m energetic and passionate. If you know anything about Mustangs, you know they are passionate about their speed and a Mustang will captivate a race track. That’s what I, TSIDEKICK, do to large audiences.
And now, the famous SouthsideSeven question… ask yourself a question and then answer it!
7) What do I do in my spare time?
In my spare time I like to make Instagram videos singing R&B songs and adding my own comical flavor to it. I’m on Instagram and Twitter as TSIDEKICK.
Excellent! I just followed you. One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, SouthsideSeven! We’re done! Thanks, Tamond!
