1) Tell us a little about yourself. What are you doing now and where do you come from?

I’m am a visual artist / singer born & raised in Cincinnati, Ohio. I went to an arts school throughout high school & am now focusing on my music career in hopes to live out my dream. Art, fashion/beauty, & music are my passions. I love exploring new things, creating & taking adventures. One day, I hope to inspire & encourage millions of people through my music & art.

2) What are your topics of interest? What do you post on Instagram the most?

A wide variety of interests are expressed all over my Insragram feed. I post anything from fashion & beauty looks, to artwork & new music I’m working on. I love being able to share things I love visually with others, while making connections at the same time.

3) How did your Instagram name come about?

My instagram name is pretty simple! It’s my first name – Tessa. Followed by my middle initial – G. I wanted to be known mainly for my music, so I just added that to the end of it!

4) What are some apps you use to edit your photos? Share with us your photo-editing routine!

Oooo, I love editing photos! I always am going back & forth amongst various editing apps. My all time favorite would have to be VSCO, I love their filters. Usually, I’ll just edit the lighting/contrast, add a pop of color & top it off with a filter. I’ve always been into cool tone pictures.

5) Any Instagrammers whom you really like? Which Instagrammer inspires you the most?

My top 3 favorite Instagrammers are nazaninkavari, symphonisoto, & jordynwoods. Symphoni Soto inspires me the most. We have a lot of the same interests & style. She is into beauty & music as well. Her work ethic is amazing. She also is very empowering to women & just keeps it real. I look up to her a lot!

6) If there’s one thing your fellow Instagrammers just gotta try now, what’s it gonna be?

Be adventurous! Just go for it. As Drake says… you only live once. If you have a dream, execute it. Do whatever it takes to get there. Even though things aren’t always easy, you never will know until you try. So be up for an adventure & see where life takes you.

7) What’s your favorite part about being an influencer?

My favorite part would definitely be being able to express myself through different things. Being able to share my honest opinions & views for others to take in & then form their own opinions. I love having the ability to share with others, empower others, & grow together. Community is very important to me & I want to have a positive impact on the lives of people. I believe if we all build one another up & support each other instead of tearing each other down, we could all gain from it & be successful. I enjoy being a part of that support.

8) What are some of your top tips to brands for running campaigns? How do you maintain authenticity?

Make sure what you are standing for in a campaign is REALLY what you are standing for. Always do your research & make sure you know what you’re supporting, as this reflects your brand. Ask yourself questions like… How could this have a positive impact on people? It’s always important to be 110% behind what you’re doing, because it could have a positive or a negative affect on the lives of others. As long as you stay true to yourself & are educated on your message, then I say go for it!

9) What would your advice be on the importance of quality and original content?

Stay true to yourself. Being original… standing out – that’s what will grab peoples attention. Don’t try to be something you’re not. An audience will see right through that sooner than later. Bring new ideas to the table & be unique! It’s really refreshing to see authenticity, as opposed to the vast majority of fakeness in the world.

10) What do you like best about partnering with brands?

What I like about partnering with brands is that it gives you a chance to make it your own. You are able to express yourself through another brand, share your thoughts, & make connections. I view it as a way to help & build each other up as a community. Also, it gives you the opportunity to share brands that reflect your own interests with others. Over all, I think it’s great & more people should look into it to help build their platform.
