Today we’d like to introduce you to Ashante’ Smith
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
In high school , I used to love going to the basketball games and hearing the DJ’s playing ! My favorite DJ was of course DJ HighLyfe , I always said I want to do that ! I played around with DJing a little in high school but never took it serious …
Come 2019 , a friend , DJ MasterToby kept telling me I need to get right and take DJing seriously . Eventually I did , August 9th , 2019 To Be Exact . The talent came very natural to me I guess being that my dad was a DJ back in the day ! lol , So for the longest I could not think of a dj name . At the time I was working at Star Castle in the kitchen . I was on the clock bedazzling my DJ laptop & my manager came back there and said “u are 2much” and I immediately said that’s it ! I had to make that my DJ name so I took it & ran with it . I’m really that extra though so I decided to go with Two2Much . I took off with DJing , did a few years at Star Castle , been to a few bars and clubs but I mostly do private events ! Yes , I still DJ til this day but that’s just 1 career …
In 2022 , I started Wrapping Cars . I started wrapping cars because I wanted my car wrapped , but I didn’t want to pay anyone because I knew it would be a constant thing ! So instead I took a car wrap class in Atlanta . At the time my car instagram page (@345.stormiii) was really hot . I changed my exhaust pipes/tips to some pink heart tips & my page went viral with the video hitting 15Million Views , which brought a lot of traction to me wrapping cars . My first client was my friend Reggie , that was some slight work playing around , I did side mirrors . My first real client though was a guy I didn’t even know from the city & my second client was from someone in Atlanta ! For over a year I was back and forth to Atlanta wrapping as well as DJing at Cascade !
How I got to where I am…
I just keep grinding ! I keep hustling ! I have to put myself out there as an entrepreneur because if I don’t , nobody will ! I continuously post content , daily honestly !
Social media is a free platform for us to bring in some money . Staying consistent will eventually pay off ! But imagine if I only post once a month … No traction would be on me . You have to stay consistent and rub it in their face ! They will eventually catch on or move along .. Nobody will support YOU like YOU support YOU !
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Ehhhh , the road has not been smooth at all . Being a 100% full time entrepreneur is not easy , especially in the start up ! In 2022 , I left my job with nothing but a plan & 3 vacations ahead of me within 2 weeks . The 1st stop was Miami , 2nd was ATLANTA , 3rd New Orleans … But guess what I did in Atlanta , I took the wrap class !
Came back to Savannah , not knowing how this would go . Wrapping isn’t as popular in Savannah as it is in other cities so I had to heavily promote it so people can see and get accustomed . Business is definitely growing overtime though , as I am 2 years in ! I can’t wait to see what’s in store for my next year !
As far as DJing , I’m going to be completely honest … I LOVE R&B ! Nobody wants to sing anymore , so I struggle tryna catch the r&b vibe which is why I mostly do private events !
Time , believe it or not, is very scarce as well ! I used to do youtube before taking on wrapping but the wear and tear that wrapping puts on my body from being outside in the hot garage all day , doing all types of twists and turns , constantly moving , made me conclude youtube as well as my podcasts , only momentarily though !
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about 2MuchDidIt! (car wrap) & DJ Two2Much?
I won’t speak much on DJ Two2Much . I feel that’s pretty clear , I’m a DJ who likes R&B !lol
Let’s talk about 2MuchDidIt!
I am basically an automotive customization shop , because I offer more than wrapping cars . I also offer services for more than just cars ! I do storefront lettering as well as decals . I do however specialize in full vehicle wraps , rally stripes & any type of wrap job .
I am known for DJing (Two2Much)
I am known for my car (345.Stormiii)
& I am known for wrapping cars (2muchdidit!)
What sets me apart from others , I am a young female who is interested and takes pride in working on cars . I promise u there may be a few , but how many females u know finna change a tire ..?
Honestly , I am most proud of 2+ years of entrepreneurship ! The journey has not been easy but I am still here , I am surviving . At a younger age I would have never thought I would be depending on my own business for all my income , especially so soon . Imagine 2 years with no check from a job ! That’s a very big accomplishment !
I want the readers to know that I love what I do ! I offer car wrapping , decals , DJ services and as I stated I bedazzle as well ! These hands get 2 crafty ! Whatever you need , I promise I can do it for you !
We’d be interested to hear your thoughts on luck and what role, if any, you feel it’s played for you?
Back in 2022 when I put the heart tips on my challenger , I posted the video and I honestly manifested to a friend . I said I hope this goes viral and guess what … It did ! Getting 15Million views some way somehow gave me confidence to quit my job , I just knew I was bigger than what I was doing ! If I could go viral for the whole entire summer of 2022 , there is no telling what else I could do !
Getting 2MuchDidIt’s Instagram page started wasn’t too hard either due to the fact that it was in the period of Stormi’s page going viral ! Everything was right on time !
I try my hardest to stay very positive , I seek nor want to hear any negativity at this stage of my life ! We are all trying to win , Let’s all be positive & manifest !
