Below is a short interview with the upcoming underground artist Don T'Ville.
How did you decide to become an artist?
Don T'Ville: COMING UP JUST LIKE THE REST BEATING ON TABLES AND DESK'S KICKING FREESTYLES IN MIDDLE SCHOOL.I JUST ALWAYS HAD IT IN ME I DIDN'T CHOOSE RAPPING IT CHOOSE ME. BY THE TIME I WAS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL EVERYBODY KNOW ABOUT ME THREW MAKING MUSIC. I WAS ASKED TO DO SMALL LOCAL SHOWS AND TALENT SHOWS AROUND THE AREA BUT ALWAYS TURNED THEM DOWN. I WAS IN THE STREETS HEAVY BACK THEN 16 9TH GRADE I CAUGHT MY FIRST AGGRAVATED ROBBERY. FACING 3YRS BUT GOT A SLAP ON THE WRIST ONLY SERVING 8MONTHS. DOING THAT TIME PERIOD ALL I HAD WAS TIME TO JUST SIT BACK AND FIGURE OUT WHAT I NEED TO TO RITE SO I WANT END RIGHT BACK IN THE SAME SITUATION. MUSIC WAS MY WAY OUT OF ALL MY PROBLEMS I ALWAYS RAN TO MUSIC . I DEN STARTED TO WRITE ABOUT MY THOUGHTS AND PAIN THREW SONGS.I USE TO HAVE THE INMATES AROUND ME RAPPING MY SONGS OUT LOUD WORD FOR WORD.IT GAVE ME HOPE THAT IF THEY CAN FEEL MY STRUGGLE AND LIKE MY MUSIC THE REST OF THE WORLD TOO. BOUT TIME I WAS RELEASED I WAS 17YRS OLD AND READY TO HIT THE STUDIO IT BEEN ON SINCE THEN.BUT FROM DEN TO NOW IM JUST STARTED TO DO SHOWS,MIXTAPES AND VIDEO LAST YEAR 2015 AT THE AGE OF 27 IT'S TIME TO GIVE IT ALL I GOT.
THE BEST ADVICE GIVING TO ME WAS FOCUS ON THE BUSINESS SIDE OF THE INDUSTRY 1ST THE MUSIC COMES WITH IT.
What about concerts? Do you play live?
Yes i have a show/concert in Memphis,Tn at Rock House Live March 19,2016 Saturday at 6pm.
Best punchline you ever wrote?
STILL GRINDING CUZ I AINT FINISH IM RACKING UP LIKE ITS TENNIS.DIVING IN LIKE IM SWIMMING STILL STACKING MY JC PENNY'S
What are you currently working on? Did you release something in the past?
Right now i have a EP in the process of releasing called From Rags To Riches Straight Pain No Regret's just haven't decided a date yet for it to drope.But i released a Mixtape imyself in 2014 titled Welcome To T'Ville.I also was feated on other local underground Artist Mixtapes.
Last but not least: Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
MAYBE AND MAYBE NOT BECAUSE IF I REACH THE POINT OF MY CAREER WHERE THE SHOW MONEY GOOD I DONT NEED NO LABEL. ACCORDING TO ME THE INTERNET IS ALL YOU NEED NODAYS YOU PRETTY MUCH CAN BE AT HOME AND PROMOTE YOSELF THE SAME WAY THEY WILL DO FOR YOU.SO THE DEAL WILL HAVE TO NO BE A 360 DEAL WERE THEY GET PAID OFF ME ALL AROUND THE BBOARD.THIS BIGGER THAN DON T'VILLE I GOT ALOT OF PEOPLE COUNTING ON ME.
