Q:
Who is Doc Drvddy? What themes and concepts that make you the artist you were today?
A:
My name is Doc Drvddy.
I’m an artist out of Northeast DC.
I’m 21 and I’ve been recording music steadily for about 4 years now. With my music, I want the listener to think.
Not some super heavy or intense shit. But something that sounds different but feels familiar.
Q:
What was the inspiration behind these themes and concepts? Was it a specific person? An experience?
A:
A big inspiration for me is my parents. Even though we don’t see eye to eye in everything I got going on in my life.
They show me nothing but love & support the whole way.
I get inspiration from them all the time.
From the music they play, even in the arguments, they teach me ways to become my best self.
Q:
What do you think are the most important aspects of music and how do you incorporate these aspects into your own?
A:
I feel like the most important aspect of music is connection.
Connecting through lyrics, connecting through the beat. Anyway, I can catch someone’s attention through my music.
With the internet nowadays it’s easy to get caught up in everything except the music.
Q:
What are your favorite parts of the creation process?
A:
I love the whole process lol listening to beats, writing & recording. That’s always been a dream for me.
I’ve only been recording in studios for about 6 months or so. I was recording on a snowball for the longest.
Being able to convey a message through my words and the beats I choose is my favorite part.
Q:
What do you think differentiates you as a musical artist amongst your peers? What sets you apart?
A:
I’m the first kid born in DC. My dad was born in Cali & my mom in South Carolina so I try to blend all of that into one. Another thing that sets me apart is my lyrics. I try to put motivational quotes within the turn-up. Like you can be here too if you want it. Nothing is set in stone.
Q:
What do you feel is the best track you’ve ever created?
A:
It hasn’t been made yet. My expectations are pretty high for myself. I know what I’m capable of producing so I just have to keep working. It’s coming though. Believe that.
Q:
Where do you see yourself 5 years from now?
A:
Established & Secure.
Q:
Where would you be at this very moment if you weren't creating music?
A:
Shit I would’ve stayed in school. I wanted to be in the film industry. I found love for the process of creating movies in high school.
Q:
If you could collaborate with any artist of any genre, who would it be?
A:
Q:
Lastly, any advice you'd like to give to anyone who wants to try their hand in this industry?
A:
You want to do this shit? Then do it bruh.
But everything ain’t as it seems.
Q:
Anything you'd like us to promote?
A:
Got a lot of music coming soon for y’all man. Few projects dropping this year. Stay tuned!
