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

Alright, Dwight thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Can you talk to us about how you learned to do what you do?

Music has always been intuitive for me, It was the same as breathing. We never consciously think about breathing unless we decide to focus on it, that’s the way music came to me,I was doing it from birth and didn’t even know or realize. The trouble came when I became aware of what I was doing, that’s when I became confused and insecure.I began to for the first time question and doubt myself I believe I would have been much better off had I not gone to school and started taking lessons. I lost contact with my own spiritual essence. This most essential thing, to stay connected to your souls core and allow or have the courage to let the universe to direct your course. The obstacles that stood in my way was me and my own need to be accepted by my teachers and peers, to make good grades ect…

Dwight, 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 guess, I am a person who is extremely lucky and thankful for music because it gives purpose to someone like me who would be completely unfit to exist in this world the way things are set up. I cannot think of any other marketable skill that I possess. When I look back on my so called career and being in the music industry has been because of persistence and being consistent. Not necessarily looking for opportunities or hunting down work but being determined to be a better musician every day that I wake up and working hard at that. Somehow The universe has looked out for a fool like me. I don’t look backwards,only forward I am still looking to grow , to innovate, to produce something that I or possibly anyone else have never creatively done before, this is what turns me on and keeps me engaged in what I call being in the eternal steam of consciousness.

What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?

The most rewarding thing that I feel about being an artist is we bring humanity and joy to the world. I truly feel that I am serving my true purpose and not just marking time or just existing until I die.
I can say without a doubt that I love music!

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?

When I was 16 years old, I would hitch hike every day 20 miles to and 20 miles back home to go to rehearsal with a band I was working at the time. I remember a day that it was 18 below zero and I got half way and was standing out in the freezing cold and wondering if I was going to freeze to death and this white lady who came out of the store and she asked me what was I doing standing out in this bitter cold. I told her that I was trying to get to rehearsal she looked at me with so much compassion that it brings tears to eyes as I am thinking about now. she asked me could she take me to my destination.
had it not been for her I would have froze to death. God is good
