Q. Who is Dutcho, and what experiences have molded you into the artist you are today?
Dutcho is like a conglomerate of several musical and cultural influences. I was born and raised in Chicago and moved around ALOT. My parents were separated so I always had two sides of the coin in life. I experienced life in poverty with both of them and I was always living in the hood with my OG so I was influenced by my surroundings. As for musical influence; Keef, Kurt Cobain, System of a Down, Michael Jackson, and a lot of Wayne. I was into lyricism and melodies so rock and rap I fell in love with.
Q. How has your experience in the industry been thus far?
Shitty as FUCK! Nah I’m joking. Shits been crazy. Almost been dropping for two years now. I want to be the best but the journey don’t intimidate me.
Q. Do you have an outstanding moment since you got into the music industry that makes you realize how important it is to make music like this? If so what would that be?
That would have to be all the people who’ve reached out to me telling me they use my music to cope with their hard times. Like depression, angst, just not feeling like you belong but still wanting to be loved.
That shit means a lot to me considering, ya know, I listen to my favorite artist to cope. Makes me realize there are actually people out there I do this for. I’m tryna heal souls.
Q. What do you think personally sets you apart from the rest of your peers in the music industry? What do you bring to the industry that you believe no one else has the ability to bring?
I’m mad. Like not angry. I’m crazy. At my core, if you know me, I’m really a silly ass mofocker! A loving person just tryna have fun and see everybody happy, no wierd shit sits right with my spirit. I put aside all the pain when I’m in a social environment sometimes and this energy just comes out. But some small shit be setting me off. I will thrash someone if I have too. I wanna be a symbol for spreading positivity, bringing mad energy to any situation, and not tolerating no fuck shit.
Q. Is there any one song that you’ve made that stands out from the rest? Any songs that people should listen to that will get people hooked?
A couple. Some fan favorites are Save Me, U Aint, New World Order,and Vices. My personal opinion is Save Me, Full Clip, and Inhalent Abuse will have you hooked. Shoutout Luke Almighty and Darko on the production.
Q. What keeps your current audience listening and why should people start listening?
My consistency. I’m always dropping music and it’s always GOOD. Always something different. I make something for everybody so I’d say that’s why people should start listening.
Q. Who do you listen to on a regular basis? Are these the same people who inspire your sound? Or are there other factors that come into play?
Lil Peep, Frank Ocean, Kid Cudi, Lil Uzi, Carti, and some rock tracks are in heavy rotation. Everybody is inspired to a degree by any art they appreciate. But I listen to these guys because it’s good music plain and simple. Also the emotion Cudi, Peep, and Frank bring to a track is what gets me through some shit.
Q. What do you think is the most important aspect of music as a concept, personally and objectively?
Shit. The concept that I’m fire and need to be heard, I be complaining in my songs not gonna lie. The fact that I’m self destructive and falling apart while still wanting others to feel I think is alluring to people.
Q.Lastly, what advice or experiences would you like to share with your peers or anyone else who is up and coming in this industry?
Never give up. That’s the only thing that got me here I wanted to so many times.
