We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Deepspawn_Logic a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Deepspawn_Logic , thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today We’d love to hear the backstory behind a risk you’ve taken – whether big or small, walk us through what it was like and how it ultimately turned out.

The biggest risk I’m taking right now is becoming comfortable with my voice and putting my words to my music for everyone to hear. It makes me feel vulnerable and powerful at the same time, like I’m standing on the edge of something and I don’t know if I’ll fly or fall.

My upcoming album She Me Her is a complete sharp left turn from what I’ve been doing. For a few years now, I’ve produced instrumentals and stayed behind the board, safe in the background. But this album is different. It’s spoken word leading every track, grounded in jazz fusion and alternative neosoul. It’s intimate, unhurried, and deeply personal in a way my previous work wasn’t.

I wrote for decades, mostly during my most difficult times, but kept my words to myself. Words no one has ever heard. And honestly? I don’t know how people will receive it. That uncertainty sometimes keeps me up at night. But I also know, deep in my bones, that this is the music I was meant to make. The risk isn’t just in the sound, it’s in finally letting myself be heard. In stepping out from behind the safety of the music itself and saying, “This is me. This is what I’ve been holding.”

I hope people embrace it. But even if they don’t, I had to do this. For myself. For the nineteen-year-old girl who started writing and never thought anyone would care. For every version of me who stayed quiet when she had something to say.

That’s terrifying and exhilarating all at once.

Deepspawn_Logic , before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

I’m Deepspawn_Logic, a self-taught music producer and spoken word artist. I make music across different genres. But honestly, I just create whatever feels right in the moment. The one thing that stays constant is this: I want my music to give people a place to breathe. A moment where time slows down and you can just be.

I didn’t plan to become a music producer. I got into it in 2020 because I was falling apart and needed something to hold onto. Between 2018 and 2020, I lost my grandmother, my mom, and others close to my husband and I. One loss after another. By the time the last one hit, I couldn’t focus on anything. Couldn’t sit still, couldn’t settle. My husband, he’s a drummer and saw what was happening. He set me up in his studio, behind a DAW with a midi keyboard and told me to just create. And for the first time in months, I was locked in. Hours would pass and I wouldn’t even notice. Music became the thing that kept me from completely unraveling.

I released my first instrumental track, The Other Side, in April 2022. I had no idea what I was doing, but I kept going. Track by track, I taught myself. And slowly, I built a catalog of music that felt like me and how I felt in the moment.

Here’s the thing though, I’ve also been writing poetry and spoken word since I was nineteen. It was always private, something just for me. But my debut album She Me Her, coming in 2026, is where some of those words finally come forward. It’s a jazz infused, neo soul gumbo of strength and vulnerability, intimate and unhurried. The lead single “you’ve got a way” drops March 27th, and it’s the first time I’m really stepping out letting people hear my voice.

Beyond making my own music, I started Indie Rhythm & Rise in 2022. I kept watching independent artists pour everything they had into their work and get paid almost nothing for it. That didn’t sit right with me. So I built a platform to honor the work and the people behind it, because artists deserve better than pennies on the dollar.

What I’m most proud of? I didn’t wait for anyone’s permission. I taught myself how to produce. I made the music I wanted to make. And I’m releasing it on my own terms. She Me Her isn’t me starting over, it’s me finally arriving at the place I’ve been working toward all along. When people listen, I want them to know they’re hearing something that I didn’t even know had been decades in the making. Something shaped by grief, love, resilience, and the belief that music should actually move you.

We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?

The biggest lesson I had to unlearn was waiting for other people’s permission to step into my own identity.
Over the years, I was a mom and a wife first. That was where I needed to be and really where I was supposed to be at that time. I supported my husband as a musician, cheered on my daughter when she started singing and embracing her voice. They even had their own band for a moment. I was always in the background, holding everything together, making sure everyone else had what they needed to shine.

When I started making music, people didn’t know what to do with it. They didn’t understand where it came from because I’d never expressed my own creative interests out loud, even though they were always there. I got a lot of “oh, that’s nice” responses, polite but dismissive. Even some of my husband’s musician friends didn’t understand what his wife was doing in his studio. Like I didn’t belong there.

I realized people are shocked by growth, especially when it’s exponential. They put you in a box and refuse to let you out of it. And honestly? I don’t fully understand it sometimes either. The speed at which this happened, the way music grabbed hold of me and wouldn’t let go, it surprised me too.

But I’ve learned to stop waiting for people to give me permission or validation. I’m at a point in my life that I don’t argue with God. I just go where He leads me and don’t look back. If people can’t see me as anything other than who I used to be, that’s their limitation, not mine. I’m done shrinking myself to fit into someone else’s expectations. My momma always said,”Everything that is supposed to be for you, won’t happen before it’s time”. This moment, right here, is happening and it’s my time.

What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?

The most rewarding aspect of being an artist is that I keep growing. I’m proud of where I’m at, but I have so much further to go, and I can’t wait to see what that looks like.

Every track I make teaches me something new. Every time I step into the studio, I’m a little better than I was the day before. And that momentum, that sense of constantly evolving, is addictive in the best way. There’s a version of myself that’s still out there waiting for me to catch up.

What excites me most is that I’m just getting started. This debut album is an arrival, but it’s not the destination. There’s so much more I want to create, so many more stories I want to tell, so many sounds I haven’t explored yet. The fact that I don’t know exactly where this is going keeps me hungry, keeps me curious and keeps me creating.
