DiVerse Official

Far Gone Vol. 1

Reggae’s hidden secret has now been revealed! Making island music with a positive message and a feel good vibe. Look out for DiVerse Official!

We caught up with the talented, DiVerse Official in the beautiful land of Hawaii.

When did you first get into music?

As a child I always had a passion for feel good music which led me to writing lyrics, free styling in high school, and learning to perfect my craft as a music artist. My music career began in 2017, when I started traveling the world with business partner, Young Invent. Which landed me in Hawaii where my island reggae music took off.

Who or What inspired you to pursue a career in music?

My family inspired me to pursue my career as well as many supporters, believers and investors. My inspiration comes from music artists such as Ky-Mani Marley, Fiji, Common Kings, Damien Marley and many more.

How has your music evolved since you first began performing?

I first started off in Hip-Hop and R&B, later I found my calling in island reggae music. I felt more connected and it came more naturally.

I’m sure you have shared the stage with a lot of talented artists/celebrities along the way. Would you share 1 or 2 of your favorite stories with us?

Opening up for Ky-Mani Marley in New Orleans was one of the most memorable moments. The audience was amazing, the vibes were right, and Ky-Mani Marley was very humble.

If you were forced to choose only one, which emotion, more than any other drives you to stay in this tough business? Is it joy, anger, desire, passion or pride and why?

I would have to say PASSION. Passion to succeed and provide for my family. And island music and what it pertains to.

Which ingredient do you think makes you special and unique as a performing artist in an industry overflowing with new faces and ideas?

I stick to the name DiVerse Official by providing a different sound and vibe for each song I create.

What has been your biggest challenge as a singer-songwriter/musician? Have you been able to overcome that challenge? If so, how?

Breaking out of the local scene I over came the challenge by traveling the world with “House Of Legends.” Which landed me a record deal in Honolulu, Hawaii.

A common phrase in the industry is, “you must suffer for your art.” Do you agree with this statement? If so, how have you suffered for your art?

Definitely agree, sacrificing family time that can never be replaced.

How do you feel the internet has impacted the music business?

The internet has been very beneficial for the fact you can promote and network on world wide level.

Have you done or plan on doing any Live-stream Concerts? If you have, how has the response been from your fans?

No, I have not done any live stream concerts, but I can not wait to get back to performing for my fans.

If you could change anything about the music industry, what would it be?

Talents scouts should be looking for true talent. Not because you have money.

Tell us about your new Album?

My new LP just dropped, Far Gone Vol.1 out of Honolulu, Hawaii. The album consists of 13 songs of feel good island reggae music. There is something for everyone on this album to enjoy and vibe out to.

What is the best advice you have received?

Learn the music business and stand out from the crowd.

What’s next for you?

Far Gone Vol. 2 is in the works and in the mean time… Billboards, Grammys, and taking over the radio stations world wide.

How can fans-to-be gain access to your music?
