In this deeply soulful conversation, Devin Tracy joins Artivism to unpack the spiritual side of creativity, trusting divine timing, and the emotional realities of being an artist in today’s world. From growing up singing gospel in Jacksonville, to creating globally loved records through intuition and alignment, Devin opens up about the lessons that shaped him — including isolation, perfectionism, patience, anxiety, social media, meditation, and learning how to truly sit with himself.

Together, we explore:

• The connection between creativity and spirituality
• Why artists struggle with overthinking and perfectionism
• The importance of pauses, rest, and silence
• Weed, anxiety, and reconnecting with your intuition
• Trusting timing instead of forcing outcomes
• Balancing survival with devotion to your art
• Why honesty is the foundation of powerful music

This episode is a reminder that artistry isn’t just about output — it’s about alignment, healing, honesty, and becoming who you’re meant to be.

On this episode of Artivism, we sit down with Figgy Baby — an internationally touring artist redefining what it means to exist in hip hop.

From freestyling in college cyphers to commanding festival stages, Figgy’s journey is anything but linear. We dive into the realities of building a career from the margins, navigating identity in a genre that hasn’t always made space for it, and the courage it takes to create without asking permission.

This conversation explores:

• What it means to be a non-binary artist in hip hop
• The difference between followers and real community
• Mental health, burnout, and staying grounded as an artist
• Social media, algorithms, and the illusion of success
• Why vulnerability is a form of power
• The responsibility of artists in times of cultural and political tension

Figgy shares raw insights on self-expression, resilience, and the quiet confidence it takes to show up fully—even when the world doesn’t always understand.

This episode is about identity, truth, and the long game of building something real.

Because sometimes… it only takes one person watching to change everything.

Today’s guest is Gavin Turek—an artist whose presence doesn’t just fill a room, it lifts it. Her performances feel like a full-bodied transmission of joy—rooted in movement, discipline, and emotional truth.

But behind that energy is something deeper.

In this conversation, we explore what it means to stay open as an artist—especially in seasons that feel heavy.

We talk about the emotional weight of metrics, the reality of creative cycles, and the courage it takes to keep showing up without losing yourself.

This episode is about embodiment.
About joy as a practice—not just a feeling.
And about learning how to keep dancing… even when life gets heavy.
