Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Fenrir Clover. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Fenrir , thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Can you talk to us about how you learned to do what you do?

I learned what I do about my craft by studying lyrics and listening to songs from my favorite artist I started mimicking their flows to understand how to structure a song Then I started trying to do it on my own, using my own words, and I found my flow

What I could have done to speed up the learning process was definitely watch a lot more YouTube tutorials I could’ve found a mentor to study under rather than be stubborn and try to figure it out myself. There were times where I didn’t know something. Normally you turn to someone who did but because of my own pride, I was determined to prove that I could do it by myself with no help and how foolish I was doing that ha ha ha
My Stubborn traits ha ha i’ve learned that that can be my superpower and I can be my greatest weakness

I think the most essential things were learning how to convey how I’m feeling and words people can understand and do it in a way that sounds good when you make music I think taking time to consistently practice helped a lot to start it off really really rough but the more practice it the more I pushed learning music the better I got

Fenrir , love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

Getting to know me, it’s not always a hard question to answer

My name is dimitri dunn my alias or stage name if you will is Fenrir Clover

I’m from south-central California I’ve been on my own as far as long as I can remember I’ve been working since I was 15 and the only thing has gotten me through was making music

I was one of those SHY kids a wallflower. I didn’t have many friends and I always felt alone I watched two movies that changed my life, or at least inspired me to pursue music full-time as a passion as a career.

The first movie was rags. It was a Disney Channel movie that featured Keke Palmer and Max Snyder. The story inspired me to want to chase the same dream. The second movie was let it shine featuring Coco Jones and Tyler James Williams that inspired me to really put my pin to the paper, and after that it was murder, she wrote

I will doing this thing for about seven years now I got into doing film and acting working on production sets with paramount and doing social media content, engagement and marketing for people. I’ve worked with a lot of different people over the years are the biggest stars in people you have yet to hear about a more low-key these days, I prefer a more intimate cry over the hustle and bustle of LA but I still love connecting with people hearing their stories, and seeing how we can connect and create something currently, I’m working on a web series and creating content for the web series for social media i’m also working on an EP and a couple of singles for my music.

How I got into the industry it’s funny it all started with me, showing up to a meet and greet and meet a bunch of influencers and people who did film had nothing to do with music ironically but from those encounters I’ve been in the fashion industry, the music industry, the film industry a couple other places it’s been an interesting ride to say the least Thing, I’m most proud of is my ability to figure things out for myself even if I don’t know where how or why things happen and those at the end of the day it’s gonna work out the way I want to. It’s just patience.

If there’s anything I want people to take away from this is that no matter what happens in your life remember that’s not where are you start? It’s not even where you are. It’s not about where you end up either XM line that bad it’s not about where you started all we went. It’s about what you do in the middle, your pass is already written in your future has yet to come, but your presence is ever-changing every growing and every moving in the direction make make the best of every moment, but just enjoy everything as it comes the stress of stuff out about the small things just know that sometimes it’s OK to go with the flow of life you don’t always have to go against the grain if you can make things easier on yourself do so

If you would like to connect or book me for media, stuff, advice or ultimately, just needing a friend feel free to reach out to me on Instagram @Fenrir Clover I’m extremely responsive I have OCD so I can’t stand notifications so I’ll see you and get back to you as soon as I physically can that’s all from me for now and as always stay real

Any resources you can share with us that might be helpful to other creatives?

I wish I took advantage of riding camps. We’re going to a music school. I feel like there’s a lot of people who’ve benefited from the experience even if they didn’t necessarily get the job they want it at the end there’s just things they picked up that propelled them to be further along in the career that they’re chasing that I’m still figuring out, but it’s an interesting journey to say the least

Have you ever had to pivot?

I can give a great example. I originally started trying to make music. I wanted to make that my career, but I didn’t end up starting to do music. In the beginning, I actually felt like I took a massive detour around the time that vine was such a big thing and influencers making six second videos was popular. I ended up becoming one of those people, and I focused more in content creation than I did of making songs and furthering my craft, and I got caught up with meeting all these different people and having them validating the videos I made that made me feel like this is maybe what I should be doing but over the years I started to sink I started to drown I started to feel like something was missing. something was wrong and I got stuck into doing Content and I no longer felt for filled or passion doing it. I stopped feeling happy or like this was fun it started to feel taxing and every day I had to wake up and do it again and again and again and I just wanted it to stop and one day I just did I said I will not make another video I refused to be in anyone else’s video I won’t edit anyone else’s video I won’t offer any ideas nothing and then I entered a slump of not wanting to do anything. I was burnt out. overtime. I slowly found my way back to writing, picking up the pin again and trying to understand what it was that I wanted to do in the first place and so I shifted again started to hang out more around artist and being in more music related spaces and trying to find that spark I had in the beginning . I can’t say I’m quite there yet but I’m more comfortable where I’m at now than where I started.
