To be an effective leader in the community there is an innate sense of selflessness that is needed to connect with people. Lady Sii is an entrepreneur that possesses that quality to the T and utilizes her gifts to help other creatives bring their ideas to life.
In addition to being the owner of her own company SiThaVision, Lady Sii is a teacher, DJ, and recording artist. The Durham, NC native now resides in the DMV and used her innovative talents to start the SiThaVision Rolling Mobile Studio. She earned high accolades with several communities due to the brilliant setup and the mobile studio serves as a one-stop shop for anyone looking to bring an event to life.
In the past year and a half, Lady Sii has devoted a majority of her time to developing a winning formula for SiThaVision as a brand. Since SiThaVision’s inception, Lady Sii has garnered attention from Fox 5 News for her efforts and was featured in a segment highlighting her endeavors in educating and empowering young creatives.
Lady Sii was gracious enough to share some of her insight with me regarding how she came up with the idea for a mobile studio and who the studio is purposed for:
What was your initial reasoning for wanting to own a mobile studio?
“ In the process of me being an artist, I always had moments where I didn’t want to leave my house and I wanted to be in a comfortable setting. One day while having a Vision Board party with my friends, I saw a bus and I literally put on my Vision Board to turn a school bus into a mobile studio…. I thought how cool would it be to put a studio on wheels”
The SiThaVisionRolling website shows that there are many services offered outside of recording music, what else is offered to potential customers?
“ It goes with exactly what the name of the company is, I just like to SiThaVision. Any type of vision that a customer wants (to me) I want to bring it to life.
We have a total of three TVs so you can have a gaming party. We can do Netflix and chill. I want to get a chef (for the bus) to offer date night for couples.
I have used it for music videos and photoshoots as well… It’s just a comfy space, anything you can think of we can make it happen.”
In modeling your blueprint for SiThaVision, who was someone who inspired your entrepreneurship?
“P. Diddy (is my inspiration), I call myself P. Diddy’s daughter all the time. As a child growing up I always watched his shows…The way he extended his heart to help people that’s what I do… Nothing stops him, he’s always looking for what’s next and that describes me to the T.”
What are your future plans for SiThaVision? Are there any plans for expansion in relation to the mobile studio?
“ SiThaVision is about to be everywhere, I don’t want to get into too many details but expansion is definitely in the works. A lot of good partnerships are being formed… I’m able to hire more students, I have three students working with me (at this time)… more physical buildings and employees are in the future that’s what I can tell you.”
Do you believe that your time as a teacher has impacted your choice in starting up SiThaVision and making it something that students can take advantage of?
“To be honest, yes not only that, I went from teaching math the past three years to be the music teacher (this year)… I created a Powerpoint and presented it to the CEO of my school and the admin team explaining what SiThaVision was before it even happened… The same thing I do on the bus I do in the classroom. I’m teaching kids how to make beats, how to record, and to do podcasting… Why not give kids the opportunities (if students are interested).”
What advice would you give to your students or other people who are interested in following a path similar to yours?
“ The best advice I can give is to just keep going… there are so many hiccups that tried to prevent the start from happening that no one sees… you will question yourself but you have to sometimes take a second and soak in your own greatness.”
Lady Sii’s SiThaVision Rolling mobile studio is a great example of a creative person putting the needs of their community in front of their own personal agenda. Her selfless demeanor and wealth of knowledge make her the perfect candidate to hold her position of leadership.
