We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Darieon McCreary. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Darieon below.
Alright, Darieon thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Did you always know you wanted to pursue a creative or artistic career? When did you first know?
I was 17 when I knew I wanted to pursue being an artist and make it a career. I grew up in the church playing the drums starting at age 5 so music has always been apart of my life me my lil brother and friend started a rap group in the 2010 called the swag kingz then after we broke up due too one of the members moving I decided too start recording the music I was writing for if I went solo. I turned 16 had a kid in high school (junior year ) with it being hard to get a job I had to find a different avenue so I choose music as my outlet.
Darieon, 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 got into the rap industry because I kind of always had a feeling that I was destined for it cuz I would always write and also music is life for me again growing up a musician made it easier for me too be an artist because I knew I could bring a different style because I understand music timing and I studied music my whole life. I think that’s what sets me apart from a lot of artist in the industry also that I didn’t start doing it cuz it was the trending thing to do. What I’m most proud of is the doors that has opened for me n the support that I do get. The connections I have made thru networking that I’m starting to her more of my style music coming out as well. I’m proud that I stayed true too me. Also I’m proud of my team Scotty Way and all the artists that has gotten down and believed in me and my dreams and choose me too help them go further and harder SCOTTY IS MY COUSIN WHO WAS KILLED BUT SCOTTY WAY IS NOT A GANG ITS A MOVEMENT!
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
My Mission is too get my family and friends that’s been by my side out of poverty too connect with some great people and surround myself with bosses and greatness
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
The most rewarding aspect for me is when I hear my music being played or people I don’t know encourage me to keep going because they love what I’m bringing to the industry . Knowing that my music is touching people in the world because they can relate . Last but not least relationships build like the one I got with positivenergy the clothing line I am the brand ambassador or having people believe in you so I got 2 managers Meech da shredda and Mz Lee Lee know people just want you too win
