Featured artist: Don Von Dirty - Don Von Dirty’s ”God Made Dirt” is destroying the underground one track at a time!!!
Below is a short interview with the upcoming underground artist Don Von Dirty.
How did you decide to become an artist?
Don Von Dirty: My brother Jason was a huge influence growing up… He would invite me down to Columbia SC to record experimental music on his Tascam 4 track… He showed me alot about thinking outside the box and mixing, though I never thought I’d be a successful artist much less a producer.
I actually became an artist about 4 years ago… My homeboy FredRock was already pretty well known around the charlotte area performing as a member of the ”Dead Sea Scrilla”(Yo!!! if you haven’t heard my boys Red and Fred CHECK EM OUT) I on the other hand played little songs for my children on the guitar and made up funny rap songs about my life and job while working as a bartender and server. Well after a year or so of laughing it up on the back line Fred asked why I wasn’t recording or making music… then asked me to write a verse… so I did and met him and several other friends at his uncles house for a session… the end result was my name being given (Don Von DIrty) and my first ever recording… after that I simply invested in some recording software and WALAH!!!!! Here I am.
Always be real and make something that needs to be heard… If you do that people will listen… and at the end of the day, money or no money, that’s what its about. BEING HEARD.
What about concerts? Do you play live?
I am currently working on networking my first shows in the area… my fans want it so I plan to deliver early next year.
Best punchline you ever wrote?
I love them all… Check out the album, listen, download and decide for yourself. Hell hit me up I would love the feedback.
What are you currently working on? Did you release something in the past?
FredRock and I released ”God Made Dirt” 4/20/15!!! I am thrilled about it and thank Fred for his help in the production of the album… I have released a few other projects which were retooled for what is now God Made Dirt… Book Of Ax is my next project and is a more personal look at who I am, where I’m from and how I’ve evolved as an artist… I think my fans will love it… Book Of Ax will Drop 12/2/15
Last but not least: Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, but I want full artistic freedom and an good pay check. If they give that I’ll sign.
Any last words?
I’d like to give a huge shout to FredRock (can’t thank you enough), Rico Nico (Thanks for all the long nights in the studio my friend),Jessica Ragan (the love of my life), Sheila Little (MOM, thanks for raising me and being so awesome), Jason and Brezzy Mullinax ( because you are my blood and you believed in me), to all my fans who have showed me so much love (I’m humbled by it), god (for having his hand on me when I needed it most), and My children ( Caelyn, Braedon, and Royce) Daddy loves you.
