A. My artist name was inspired by my uncle's nickname for me, Dino (Dee-No). I then added the Lil to make it sound like a traditional rapper name
Q. What has your journey as an artist been like up to this point?
A. I’ve been making music for just over four years, and the first three years were really just a joke, and Lil Dino was just a friend group’s inside joke. But the last year, I’ve taken it more seriously while still loving making music.
Q. What makes your music different from what listeners might hear from other artists in your genre?
A. What makes my music different from other similar artists is that my music has certain energy only I can provide, and my creativity is what makes it fun.
Q. What was the moment that made you realize you wanted to pursue music seriously?
A. I realized I wanted to pursue music seriously when I met my current engineer, Scrilly, and he made my songs actually sound good. I decided I just might have a chance at this.
Q. What message or energy are you trying to bring to listeners through your music?
A. One message I would like to bring to the listeners of my music is to not take life too seriously. Have fun and be confident in yourself.
