pasCHer Collection Clothing Line | CEO Bradley Coleman Interview

We talked with Bradley Coleman in an exclusive interview, check it out below!

Question: What sparked you to start your business? How did the idea come about? 

Coleman: Having my daughter sparked me to go ahead and start my business. I had already been thinking about the idea. Once I found out she was on the way, I knew it was time. The idea came from Jesus. He woke me up out my sleep one night at 4 am and the first thing I heard was pascher. So I start researching everything and spent a year working on it before I even told anyone. 

Question: What advice would you give to young people looking to start their own business? 

Coleman: It’s not sweet. I feel like alot of people now a days want to start their own business which is a good thing; I love seeing people doing that but its alot of hard work that goes into it. It's not impossible, it's something you have to be willing to work hard at day in and day out. No matter how hard it gets, always keep your faith. Believe in yourself and your product or no one else will. 

Question: What are some of the necessary skills that you've seen are needed to run a successful business? 

Coleman: A good work ethic. Having good customer service skills and treating people the right way will take you and your business farther than you think. Being honest also. 

Question: What have been some of your failures, and what have you learned from them? 

Coleman: Not sending all my paperwork in to the IRS on time. I’ve learned that you have to read everything carefully, sometimes twice to make sure you have a clear understanding. Thats always important in business. 

Question: What motivates you? 

Coleman: My daughter Number one, just putting myself in a position to be able to always provide for her is the thing that motivates me most. I want to be able to give her the world one day. I know I can’t do that if I don’t get up and get it. My family also. My parents have been through alot and I put them through some things that I’d like to pay them back for. And I just want to be able to take care of them and my people. Not making it to the NFL motivates me because I let one of my dreams fail; I won’t let this one fail. 

Question: How do you generate new ideas? 

Coleman: Thinking about things I’ve seen around me on a daily basis and turning them into creative ideas to express myself. Brainstorming while listening to music. 

Question: How do you define success? 

Coleman: Success isn’t the result of making money, making money is a result of success. You determine your own success. Just because you have a million dollars, that doesnt mean you are a success. Being successful is doing something because you wanted to do it not because you had to or feel like you are forced to. If you always wanted to be a school teacher and you go on and become a school teacher THAT'S being successful. Setting a goal at something you want to achieve and doing it. 

Question: How do you build a successful customer base? 

Coleman: By always having good customer service and letting/showing your customers you appreciate their support and business. 

Question: Do you believe there is a formula to being a successful entrepreneur? 

Coleman: Yes I believe there is. Hard work, faith, and will. Being able to see your vision when nobody else can. 

Question: Who is your greatest inspiration? 

Coleman: Eric Thomas 

Question: What is your favorite aspect of being a business owner? 

Coleman: Being able to do things exactly how I want to and when I want to. If something goes wrong then its on me. 

Question: How do you go about marketing your business? 

Coleman: I do alot of social media marketing, passing out business cards, networking at different business events around the city. I only wear my brand. So I kind of feel like a walking billboard. 

Question: What sacrifices have you had to make to keep your business running? 

Coleman: Going without, just so my daughter and business can have the things that they need. Putting all my money into it, having faith that it’ll turn into more. Staying up two and three days in a row just to make sure everything gets done.

Question: What company or business do you admire most other than yours and why? 

Coleman: Ralph Lauren, because his company is in the same field as mine and he’s managed to stay at the top of the game for a long time. His fashion pieces are timeless and that’s something that I always aim for. 

Question: Where do you see yourself and your business in 10 years? 

Coleman: I see myself being a very successful entrepreneur and pasCHer at the top of the fashion industry. Being the most worn clothing line around the world. 

Question: Is there anything else you would like people to know about your business? 

Coleman: PäsCHer is how you walk, how you talk, or how one carries or conducts themselves among others. It’s your approach or attitude. PäsCHer is the pronunciation of the French influenced word posture, originated in the late 16th century. Creative thinking, individuality, and elegance are some of the many characteristics that make up what we like to call “päsCHer.” We are a new trend-setting, international timeless fashion house, influencing lives and culture on a daily basis. päsCHer is a lifestyle.

Exclusive | 2 Milly Talks His Hit Song "Milly Rock" and the Release of His Debut Mixtape

New York rapper 2 Milly hit instant success when his hit song "Milly Rock" blew up the airwaves. It all started during a block party in Brooklyn three years ago when Spike Lee was celebrating the 25th anniversary for Spike Lee film Do the Right Thing. 2 Milly felt the energy of the crowd, became possessed by the music and jumped on top of a car, and began performing his “Milly Rock” dance.

Fans in the crowd began to film his performance and uploaded it to social media and youtube and instantly he became an overnight sensation. The videos went viral which sparked a craze of people uploading videos of their versions of the milly rock dance. The craze had gotten so popular that even Chris Brown, Wiz Khalifa and Rihanna joined in, uploading their own rendition of the “Milly Rock.” 

2 Milly - “Milly Rock” Music Video

“The dance has always been around. It was just a turn up with me and my friends. It was just a good vibe,” 2 Milly explains. “I’m drinking Bombay and orange juice so I get on top of a car and start milly rocking for like two or three minutes. The next day, they’re hitting me up like ‘you’re famous. I was like I only did that in front of 90 people. Imagine if I could do that in front of 90,000 people. So let me make a song to it.” And that’s exactly what he did.

 A year later, 2 Milly released the anthem for the dance, titled "Milly Rock." By the end of the summer, the video reached over a million views on YouTube. He had garnered so much attention that platinum rapper Travis $cott brought Milly and his Sturdy Gang/Stack Paper crew on-stage during his performance at the influential New York City festival Hot 97 Summer Jam. He is now traveling the country on his Sturdy Way Tour and awaiting the release of debut mixtape Only the Sturdy Survive.

Born in Brooklyn and raised in the Bedford–Stuyvesant neighborhood, 2 Milly came up hard like every other kid in the hood. Crammed in a two-bedroom apartment with his mother, father and three brothers, growing up was “really rough,” he recalls. So to ease the stomach rumblings, he jumped into the streets at age 13, engaging in illegal activities for survival.“We did what we had to do,” he clarifies.  And while many of his friends and members of his Sturdy Gang/Stack Paper crew were catching cases left and right, Milly managed to keep his nose clean, which helped him earn his nickname.

Exclusive | R&B Newcomer Damar Jackson is Putting on for Louisiana

R&B newcomer Damar Jackson is a star. The talented singer out of DeRidder, Louisiana has an  impressive confidence that makes it clear he knows exactly where he belongs. As a young prodigy who began playing the drums and keys at his church at the age of 9, Jackson stood in awe of great vocal performances as far back as he can remember, watching greats like Prince and Michael Jackson. His mother, also a singer in the church, fully nurtured his talent, enrolling him in music lessons as soon as she discovered her son’s innate talent.

By the time he was in high school, Damar knew exactly where he was headed; the only question was how. “When I was in high school, if you wanted to get money you were either selling candy, selling drugs or selling mixtapes,” he recalls. “So I had this song I wrote with my boy. And I figured out how to record it on my keyboard and put that one song on blank CDs.” 

A band scholarship would lead him to the University of Louisiana at Monroe, and while there, Damar continued to create opportunities to promote his music all while honing his craft. “The whole time I was in school, I was creating my sound,” he says. “So I turned my room into a recording studio.”  He booked and promoted his own shows, which would lead to opportunities to open for artists like Bobby V, Day 26, and Ludacris. 

As he prepared for graduation as a Mass Communications major, a chance Twitter encounter lead him to an internship with Def Jam Record’s Atlanta office. His intern days were not without their share of challenges as Damar recalls sleeping in his car after events to make sure he made it to work on time. Damar continued to perfect his craft as a songwriter and producer, contributing to K-Camp’s success with songs like the hit single “Comfortable.” 

His debut single “ Crazy, ” in which he revisits the last days of the relationship that sustained him during his early years in Atlanta, is an emotional rollercoaster both musically and lyrically. “We got to a point where she saw the success coming,” he explains, “but even though I thought we had been preparing for the late nights and work trips, it started driving her crazy.” As he puts the finishing touches on his debut project, from which the single is drawn, Damar promises more of the same “I be trying to tell both sides of everything. There’s a lot that comes with the decision to choose to take it there with a woman that you don’t plan on marrying. But a lot of guys aren’t honest about the consequences, not just what you’re doing to her, but how it affects you too.” 

With his debut project nearly ready to hit the public, Damar Jackson is set to make his mark on the music industry as a singer, songwriter, and producer.
