We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Dwayne Kirkland a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Dwayne , thanks for joining us today. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?
Growing up in South West Philadelphia, I had to learn to be my own person and stand out from others around me. With the influence of my DJ father, I developed a deep passion and love for music. Then, once I was in college at Kutztown University, I started to find my way. After years of experimenting with my sound and doing different songs, I found my way. The innovation and creativity that I now have has evolved into something that’s now world wide. With the constant expansion of my brand on the musical and business side, I am excited and very hopeful for my future as a business mogul.
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?
For those who don’t know me, I go by DKirk KV. I am a music artist, influencer, and businessman. I have my own clothing brand with Latashamelody, my business partner, called D&J clothing. We sell different sets of clothing, from hoodies, shirts, and pants, to complete clothing sets for both men and women. At the moment, my brand is in the process of coming up with new designs. When it comes to our clients, we want to provide the best possible experience with our products. To insure customer satisfaction, we make it a priority to ship products as fast as possible as well as offer discounts to your customers. In the event that a client isn’t pleased, we are quick to solve the problem. If the size is wrong, we will gladly fix that problem. One thing I want people to know is that my brand provides high-quality clothing for all body types, and we encourage people to shop with us and become a part of the D&J brand.
How’d you meet your business partner?
I’ve known my business partner latashamelody since our high school years. We have been good friends for a long time. Both of us started to peruse our own things such as music. One day, me and her decided that i we wanted to start a brand of our own. Why not start it with a good friend and someone who shares my dream of wanting to become a well known brand. Our combined work is paying off because of our combined hard work.
What’s worked well for you in terms of a source for new clients?
Our best source of new clients are from people who follow and keep up with my different social media platforms. We do promote our products on both our D&J brand page as well as our personal pages. We also, see that a lot of out new clients are mostly females ages 20-30. The promotion of my new albums on hoodies does help with sales in new places such as Africa. We constantly have new clients coming in based on many things, but I’m am glad that they chose to shop with us.
