Friends Of The Mercer: Fejz
“I guess I’m just trying to figure out what comes after achieving something I’ve wanted for so long.” was the sentence that caught our attention throughout the conversation, because more than anything, it presents a creative person who is not willing to stop at one mountaintop and instead chooses to look into the next peak, which for us serves as the ultimate inspiration, fueled by grit and determination. In between projects, and behind the scenes work sets at Pacha New York, we spoke to Fejz about the new chapter of his life and bringing ideas to life, a lot of them socially first, along with the love of New York and some free game (don’t let it go over your head). Real one.
What are you currently working on?
“Right now, I’m in a new chapter of my life, managing a team of creatives to make work for other artists. In a way, I feel like I’ve been doing this my whole life. I’ve always loved working with people who are passionate about what they do, helping them bring their ideas to life and share them with the world.”
What's one piece of advice you'd give to others?
“Know when to leave. A room, a friendship, a job, a relationship, a city, or even a version of yourself.”
What makes New York so great for you?
“That you get to decide who you are. That’s both the best and worst part about it. Like, who would you choose to become if you had the freedom to be anyone?”
What's something you're looking forward to?
“The things I used to do for fun are now what I do for a living. Something that was once just a passion has become my career. I guess I’m just trying to figure out what comes after achieving something I’ve wanted for so long.”
Don't miss the next one.
