We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Dynasty. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Dynasty below.
Dynasty, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Can you talk to us about a project that’s meant a lot to you?
I’ve been so fortunate to have an indie career that has exceeded my wildest childhood dreams. Between creating songs with hip hop legends, touring internationally, and sharing with so many people it’s been a beautiful journey. Performing will always be my first love, but being a DreamPusher is where my passion meets purpose. The music has afforded me the opportunity to connect with people on a deeper level. I share my heart and life through these lyrics and invite others to join me in doing the same.
One of my most meaningful projects is my DreamPusher Unplugged Series. Here we create an entertaining and engaging experience with live music, and meaningful conversation. The goal is to hold space for folks to let their guard down, hear some great music, and be seen and heard. The first event was in 2017 in Tampa and the most recent was in LA in June. I am currently working on bringing it to more cities as I believe that what people are craving, just as much as entertainment, is connection.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I started rapping when I was about thirteen. I was a tomboy and the boys were doing it so I figured I could too.. I was right!
Fast forward some years later, I went from local shows to international recognition when the legendary DJ Premier put my song on a mixtape and toured the world promoting it. That would set the stage for international touring opportunities and so much more.
Today, I am most proud of the impact I’ve been able to make through the git of music. I have received countless messages and heard so many stories at shows about how much my music has meant to people. I’m grateful for everyone accolade and accomplishment, but leaving a mark that lasts longer than the show and goes beyond the song is what makes me feel most successful. From this, I started DreamPushGo, a platform that encourages intentional growth, connection and deeper self-awareness through creativity.
I also started a jewelry line in 2022 called Self Love Standard. Along with encouraging people to pursue their dreams and live their most authentic lives, I am also passionate about the power of Self Love and it is a part of my mission to encourage others to embrace their self love journey. My affirmation jewelry line helps me to spread that message and do that work.
Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?
I had to unlearn the idea that I needed someone else to advocate for me and my creative career, that my voice alone wasn’t strong enough. I learned to embrace my gifts and my proven track for being great at what I do. I accepted that the way I show up and show out speaks for itself and I gradually become more comfortable reaching out to people regarding opportunities and using my voice to highlight my strengths in the rooms that I was in. This has been a game changer.
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
The most rewarding aspect for me is being able to use my voice and gifts as a force for good in the world.
