Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Detrich Swain. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Hi Detrich, thanks for joining us today. Let’s jump to the end – what do you want to be remembered for?
I hope to build a legacy most importantly for my family. I would love to be the first millionaire in my family and change the generations curses so my offspring and nieces and nephews can take what I’m doing to the next level. I think people will say that I was a go getter and I wasn’t afraid of dreaming and trying something new. My family will say if it was anybody who would dare to be different in our family it would be me. I hope to be remembered for being myself and original and also be remembered for having a great personality who was never afraid to push the boundaries of achievement. And also a family man who handles his responsibilities.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
Well, I’m an Hip Hop artist and writer and entrepreneur who goes by the stage name of Dee D$b. You can find out plenty about me on Google if you Google my government name Detrich Swain. I offer music collaborations, ghostwriting or just about any kind of written works that you need. I also help independent artists get their music on major streaming services if they aren’t as knowledgeable on how to get these things done. I am a registered writer on BMI and a content creator on social media. What sets me apart is I’m independent in how I work so there is no big company who can disrupt our business if working with others. I am most proud of building myself and my brand up from the mud with no financial backing at this point. Potential clients, followers and fans should know my brand and work is of high quality and I am about great business with a fast turnaround. If you need anything written from jingles to songs to hooks to business product to business promotion. Or news columns, write ups or papers, I can do it all. I have a bachelor’s in Business Management and a Master’s in Business Administration.
Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?
A story I can share to show my resilience is me leaving my job in 2019. I haven’t had a full time job since. I’ve been keeping steady doing entrepreneurship work until something I really love sticks and I can do it full time. Times get tough where I’m broke and I have to sacrifice the good life a lot. But I stay steadfast in my goals cause I know God Will eventually bring me full circle with my finances and my dreams. People in my circle have been sent to jail, and died on this journey but I know it’s all part of the story, journey and process. I take the good with the bad and make the best of bad situations.
Can you tell us the story behind how you met your business partner?
I met my cofounder and business partner of Black Creative Mind, Jeremy Hagan at our full time job around 2017/2018. We had common interests in music and entertainment and we clicked and have been working together every since. We both left our jobs in 2019 to bet on ourselves and chase a better life for ourselves and our families.
