Music has lived in every corner of Numilly's life. Poetry from his sister. English lessons from his parents. Music sessions with his brother. Creativity wasn't a hobby — it was a household language.

In this episode of The Rodriguez Show, Numilly traces his path from Anaheim to the Congo and back, sharing how his family roots shaped the artist he's become. He opens up about mapping out his career from the very beginning, learning the discipline behind a real rollout, and the moment he conquered fear during his first-ever performance: trembling onstage with a ukulele, then finding explosive confidence once the music began.

We talk identity, culture, the OC music scene, the art of planning, and the courage it takes to evolve. As he steps into new lanes like modeling and acting, Numilly remains committed to representing his roots and pushing his sound forward.

In this episode: • Growing up in a creative Congolese household • The nerves and breakthrough of his first school performance • Why planning changed his entire approach to music • His evolution as a hip-hop & R&B artist since 2010 • Thoughts on AI, collaboration, and today's music trends • Exploring acting, modeling, and future creative paths • Advice for young artists building their confidence

Tap in and journey with an artist who's building his future with intention, heart, and cultural pride.
