We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Drizi Dre a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Drizi 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?
The first time I knew I wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally was when I left Neosho Community College. I needed more credits from my other college to be able play basketball that school year. Once that fell thru I wanted to do something where I could control most of my outcome and not depend on a coach or manager to dictate it.
Drizi , 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 in the music industry by teaching myself how to record music & make beats. I provide music production with. “Tha GoonEz”. I record & mix most the music I produce. I think my ability to provide encouragement and positive criticism to make the product best it can. I would want a potential client/supporter to know about our brand is I do my best provide the best production for the specific artist I am working with at the time. I hold myself to a high standard of working hard and being a true professional in my field.
Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?
A mission that is a driving force for what I do is bringing KC & KCMO sound to the world. We haven’t had our place in the music industry yet and I want to help bring our sound to world. We have some great talent here ready to be heard.
How about pivoting – can you share the story of a time you’ve had to pivot?
I had to pivot from just being a producer and teach myself how to work in a studio environment. In the studio is where all the magic happens. A producer can sometimes be left out after the artist gets the beat. As a studio engineer/producer I’m right in the middle of the song in each 3 phases of producing, recording & mixing.
