  • Highlighting Donell Jones

    For the month of July, I want to highlight some amazing celebrities I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and share the positive things I admire about them. We’re used to hearing the negative and the drama, so let’s switch it up and focus on the good vibes!

    Day 4: I had the incredible opportunity to meet Donell Jones in Atlanta. This R&B legend has been making music for over 25 years and is still going strong. He’s collaborated with countless artists and left an indelible mark on the music industry.

    When I met him in Atlanta, he was supporting an event for sickle cell awareness, showing his dedication to giving back to the community. He was super nice and down-to-earth. Be sure to check out his new music, and if you haven’t already, keep “Where I Wanna Be” on repeat – it’s a timeless classic!

    Interview with Dope Boy Von (DBV)

    Q. When you wrote this song, “We in the Trap” where was your mindset at?

    A. I was in the trap meaning the studio that’s my trap. Playing some pool and I started writing.

    Q. What or who inspired you to get into entertainment?

    A. I had a best friend before I was doing music; she was a great singer: one day we had a block party in our projects in Brown subs, and she took a stray bullet to the head and 2 hours later she passed away. She inspired me so much on how hard she was going with her music that I wrote my first song about her.

    Q. What kind of things can you try to remember or implement to keep you from burning out or letting your passion drive you opposed to pushing you backward.

    A. Sometimes you want to reach a goal so fast but wonder why you’re not getting it. It’s because you can’t force it, you have to let it happen. I don’t force songs out, timing is everything.

    Q. Who is one of your favorite artists that inspired you?

    A. Rick Ross and Flo Rida.

    Q. Do you think it’s enough pie for all the artists to eat?

    A. It’s enough space for everyone to eat. Florida is the next biggest place for music that’s coming out. Kodak Black, Triple X, & Ferrari Fred. We got next, we them Florida boys.

  • Interview with T.R.U.B Chef

    Interview with T.R.U.B. Chef

    Q. What was the inspiration behind your song “She Fell in Love”?

    A. I wanted to make this song creative, so I looked at it as if she fell in love with me. So, I flipped the concept of it so that it can be looked at from a hustler’s point of view that she’s a gold digger, or the fact that she’s just digging me.

    Q. What does the name T.R.U.B. Chef mean?

    A. T.R.U.B. stands for “Truth Real Unique Blessed”. The chef part comes in because I treat my music personal and perfect just like a chef treats his food. I am working on the cooking part though, lol.

    Q. With you being in the industry from 11 years old until now. What avenues would you give to artists now to put themselves on a platform?

    A. The platform that you need to get on right now in this time is social media. Start with the simple ones that you can do yourself like YouTube, which is especially helpful if you don’t have the money right now. Just invest in yourself the best way that you can now. Work your way up from there by letting people take your brand seriously. Don’t be afraid to ask questions of people of importance.

    Q. What is the music scene like in Memphis right now?

    A. It’s coming up better, but there’s still not enough unity within the rap community.

  • Jc Triple Threat

    Interview with JC Triple Threat

    By: Where It Begins

     

    Q. What made you pursue a career in the music industry?

    A. Funny enough, music wasn’t even a thought to me. I wanted to play football which was my love until an injury prevented me from playing anymore. I then turned to music to express my feelings and cope with the loss of football. I realized that I could do so much more with music than I could with football.

    Q. What makes you a Triple Threat?

    A. Triple threat started from when I played football, and it was because I was on the field the entire time playing offense, defense, and specialty. One day my coach said, “What up Triple Threat”. I really liked the sound of the name meaning someone who never leaves the field.

    Q. What advice or insight would you give to artists that are coming up and trying to get started in the entertainment industry?

    A. One of the biggest things to me is branding. You need to understand that when you become an artist that you are now a brand. You should be the artist 100% of the time. Promote yourself as much as possible through social media such as YouTube and Instagram and perform as much as possible at as many places as possible. Numbers are the key and promoters focus on your numbers as far as how many people you can draw in.

    Q. Are you doing anything for the community right now?

    A. I’m partnered up with the American Foundation Suicide Prevention because there is an epidemic of suicides in the youth as well as the adults. Sadly, Arizona is #1 in suicide rates.
