On this occasion, we had the honor of interviewing D4m $loan, an incredible artist whose voice and unique sound immediately caught our attention. His actual vision that brings together fashion and hip-hop as a personal brand is currently backed by his Creative Director Mykel C. Smith, the one who understood his concept and was able to bring that to life and to another level. Here is the complete interview of this distinctive rising artist with high energy and unforgettable project.
141: Every time we listen to your music, your voice is completely unique, the downs and resonance envolve our bodies in an incredible experience. So we would love to know, how did you come to discover your voice?
D$: That was probably back around 2018 when my partner, Skiano, and I used to play off of one another when working on music in the studio. During that time, we had developed our own alter egos- the wolf and the demon. It developed organically but I wasn’t sure how people were going to respond to it. I started releasing different snippets every week and the fan response was amazing.
141: Your music is turning people up in the US, Latin America and other parts of the world. How do you feel about your music expanding towards new horizons?
D$:My goal has always been to take my music globally, so it means a lot to hear that people in other parts of the world are enjoying my music. I’m excited to see how it goes.
141; And now, a question that can be a little taboo, tons of messages are found in lyrics that can be misunderstood and taken as something unintended. What’s your position on “cancel culture” in the music industry?
D$: I don’t believe that the hip-hop industry participates in cancel culture, but I do understand the need to take accountability. I think your job as an artist is to express your art and to push the envelope of creativity.
141: Your songs are strong and powerful, from melody to voice and composition. What do you want to express with your letter’s and your rhythm when you’re creating your pieces?
D$: I have a different approach every time I get into the studio depending on the song and what I want to accomplish. I’ll sit with the beat and go off of how it makes me feel- I want a different reaction every time.
