DIALECT WHO ARE YOU?
My name is Dialect and I’m a grime artist from Leeds.
WHAT DO YOU DO?
I’m a rapper, so I record tracks for release and also perform in venues, festivals, events and now also run my own events were I book other artists.
WHY DO YOU DO IT?
I do what I do because I love my music, especially rap because I started off in poetry and I strongly value the arts of expression. I’ve always wanted to show we have talent in Leeds and through representing myself and
the city hopefully that can open more doors for other artists. “WITH GRIME GETTING MORE COMMERCIAL ITS OPENING THE DOORS FOR MORE ARTISTS TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY”
WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW?
I’m currently waiting to release my brand new music project and I’m working on setting up some more events. My events company is called ‘Talk Is Cheap Entertainment’ and we have a spot at NASS Festival this year! I’ve got a single launch night 11
coming up for the Come Play With Me competition I won last year. I’ve made my 2nd appearance on Lord Of The Mics this year and I’m sat on loads of content that I will releasing over these next few months. It’s a really exciting time!
WHAT’S THE HOT TOPIC?
I think the way music is evolving again, with new genres coming through and collaborations of different styles. With grime getting more commercial its opening the doors for more artists to be taken seriously. Personally for me it’s great to see how far the style of music I rap on has grow into what it is now.
