Q. Good day, 618 Dafff! We appreciate you taking the time to speak with us. The first thing we want to know is How did you get into making music?
A. As I grew older, my love for music deepened. It started with making beats and going to school, but eventually, I began taking it seriously after gaining more confidence and overcoming my shyness. Creativity has always been a part of my life, and music played a significant role since childhood. Even at the age of 9, I wrote my first rap/freestyle as a means of self-expression, especially to cope with the challenges of my surroundings and home. I developed a strong affection for music and writing, which led me to write about my life experiences, weaving compelling stories from my past, present, and hopes for the future. This journey has given my music a unique sound with hard-hitting, melodic melodies that resonate on a deeper level.
Q. Who are your musical influences and why?
A. I've selected Dej Loaf, NBA YoungBoy, Young M.A, Michael Jackson, and Young Thug as my musical influencers because each of them has significantly impacted the industry in their unique ways. They stayed true to themselves and their sound, which is a crucial aspect I aim to achieve on my musical journey as well. Their individual contributions have inspired me to carve my own path and make a meaningful impact in the world of music.
Q. What has been your biggest career highlight so far?
A. In 2023, I had the incredible opportunity to perform as the opening act for two prominent artists, Bella Blaq from Love & Hip Hop/ATLANTA and BONE the Mack. Both of these experiences were truly unforgettable and left a lasting impression on me.
Q. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
A. In five years, I envision myself residing in a new city where I am valued and cherished by the community, reciprocating that appreciation towards them. I see myself fully immersed in my music career, able to pursue it wholeheartedly without any constraints. Additionally, I imagine achieving financial stability and finding a harmonious balance between love and life.
Q. What Is One Message You Have for Your Fans and Supporters?
A. My message to all my fans and supporters is this: When life gets tough and the challenges seem insurmountable, remember to keep shining bright even when the sun isn't out. Stay determined, stay focused on your goals, and never lose sight of your dreams. Let your inner light guide you through the darkest times, and remember that with unwavering perseverance, you can overcome any obstacle. Your support means the world to me, and I am incredibly grateful for each and every one of you. Together, we'll continue to spread positivity and make a difference in the world.
