Thank you for sitting down and talking to FLEX. Can you tell us a bit about how you got into music?
Thank you for the opportunity to speak with everyone at FLEX! I appreciate it. I released my first single, “Any Thing Goes,” in 2019, and I’ve been working hard as an independent artist ever since. I’m excited to be working on my 6th project.
Who would you say are your biggest musical influences?
Michael Jackson, Monica, Brandy, Usher, Stevie Wonder, Beyoncé. So many, really!
Congratulations on your brand-new song 'Reconnected' - what inspired this particular track?
Thank you!! My personal life, for sure, and a desire to reconnect with family members in a deeper way. It’s truly one of my most heartfelt songs because it was my first recording session while recovering from an Achilles injury.
How do you channel personal experiences into your songwriting, and what do you hope listeners gain from connecting with your music?
I write and express myself a lot, so songwriting came naturally to me, especially when pouring my personal life experiences into the lyrics. I actually use my music as a vessel to share the things within my subconscious and soul.
Each aspect of music – writing, recording, practicing, and playing live – offers something different. Can you share a particularly meaningful moment from each?
Writing: I love and remember the moment I wrote “Any Thing Goes” and realized I had finally written the song that would mark my start as an independent recording artist.
Recording: The recording session for “Reconnected” was extremely special to me!
Practicing and performing live are both deep loves of mine because I believe live performance shows what an artist is truly made of. Performing my song “Reign Love” for the first time is a very fond memory of mine!
Is there a song in your repertoire that holds a particularly deep personal meaning for you? Can you share the story or inspiration behind it?
I’d say right now, “Reconnected” is that song. It’s the theme of my life at the moment and the title of my upcoming album. I’m excited to be back in music again.
What are your goals for the future with your music?
I’d like to keep growing as an artist, continue making music, travel the world, and touch people with my music and life experiences. I believe sharing my gift is a huge part of my purpose.
What message or feeling do you hope listeners take away from your music?
That love is real. And although invisible, it’s a feeling that inspires me. I hope listeners can feel that. It’s really God’s love that moves me.
To wrap things up, is there anything else you'd like to share with our readers?
Please check out my new single, “Reconnected,” and my previous five projects if you haven’t yet. My album “Reconnected” will be my most exciting project yet. Thank you for the support! There’s so much content on the way—I’ll be doing all the things from performing, hosting my podcast, working on my YouTube channels, and more! https://linktr.ee/itsdorianofficial
