In the 66th episode of Smokey Mirror Podcast, we delve deep into the world of the multidimensional prodigy - ARTLANTA. Currently based in Miami, this painter, musician, and entrepreneur has etched his mark in the hallowed corridors of global artistry, and set a whole new trend by painting exotic cars with a distinct paint-splatter style.

Born in Decatur, Atlanta, Georgia, to Nigerian immigrants, young ARTLANTA's life was a tale of grit and resilience. Losing his father at the tender age of 5, he and his seven siblings were raised by their mother. It was during these formative years, amidst trials and tribulations, that ARTLANTA found solace in art and music, which later became the two pillars of his meteoric rise.

His decision to drop out of high school and move to LA marked the beginning of an era. With collaborations stretching from Tokyo's Mr. Lamborghini, to Ahmed Amwell, Dubai's luxury supercar legend, ARTLANTA's name became synonymous with luxury art on wheels. You can't miss his sensational artwork that adorns American Latin Superstar, 6ix9ine’s car collection.

But that's not all; beyond cars, ARTLANTA's portraits decorate the walls for many celebrities. His uncanny ability to capture essence with vivid, bold colors has led to portraits of DJ Khaled, Drake, and Tom Brady. And his $1 million self-portrait "LANTA 1" stands testimony to his unparalleled skill and acclaim.

Beyond painting, his rhythmic flair led him to starting Wav3pop, a musical duo that garnered a staggering 20 million streams without any label backing. The same entrepreneurial spirit gave birth to ART BEAST, a haven for budding artists. As both a festival and label, ART BEAST fosters a vibrant community of artists, brands, and musicians, echoing ARTLANTA's belief in the power of collaborative creativity.

His ever-expanding portfolio now boasts over $9 million worth of cars from Lamborghinis to DeLorean’s. He even announced An upcoming exotic art car museum to show off his pieces which promises to be another feather in ARTLANTA's illustrious cap.

With a life rich in tales of passion, hurdles, and conquests, this episode is a deep dive into ARTLANTA's universe - from humble beginnings, to international success. A saga you wouldn't want to miss!
