To start at one specific journey to explain Ant's story would neglect the amount of work it took reach each specific part. Although he wasn't a Pittsburgh local he seen a niche that was yet to be filled in the shoe market. After seeing a UPS truck get robbed for a load of Space Jam 11's a lightbulb went off in his head. Despite wanting to work for footlocker the next best thing would be having your own shoe store so he embarked on this idea. Coming up with the name Antlckr as a play on the fact that he wanted to work there previously but now wanted his own. I had the honor to work with him and see the tedious work it took to carry boxes, answer dm's or even deal with non- logical customers at time. While working the store he dabbled with DJing despite having ample professional DJ friends at the time it was a hobby for him. More and more the shoe business became a hindrance and he fell in love with Djing over time . Once he got a call from a friend to do a 30 min session on tour without thinking he jumped on the opportunity and started to get serious. Now he plays at ample bars ,clubs and from time to time has his own events. Having a well known Dj in Femi as his significant other is just the cherry ontop of his career. Without trying something you will never achieve it. Ant has proven this if it wasn't through school, football , his own store , Social Media or more he wants to be the best.I give you the Wade Anthony Interview !
