We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Seth D. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Seth below.
Hi Seth, thanks for joining us today. When did you first know you wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally?
I’ve been rapping since I was 9, so I’ve always loved music. I decided to pursue music professionally after I put out a series of freestyle videos on Facebook when I was in high school. I received a lot of views and great feedback from my friends/family, so things just went up from there!!
Seth, 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 am Seth D. I definitely spit with a fire you’ve never heard before! I’m a 90’s baby born in Denver and raised on the south side of Chicago. I think I have a unique sound that will only get better with time. The very first thing that sets me apart from most artists today is that I write all of my own lyrics. I’m a one-man show. I rap, sing, act, and dance. I also have an ear for music that the average listener doesn’t. Over time, hopefully, people will really feel my music and where I’m coming from. I just want to be an all-around entertainer. My debut EP “Under Pressure” has been out for about two years and has been very well received!! I’m currently working on my follow up EP that I’m still trying to figure out what specific sound(s) I want to create. For those that don’t follow me, IG: DREKINGSTON – TWITTER: DREKINGSTONNN
What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?
My only goal with my music and entertainment career is to make people happy, and be respected as a real and true entertainer. PERIOD!
We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
For a long time, I was not able to record new music due to financial struggles. I think that’s why Under Pressure is important to me! I put my blood, sweat, and tears into that project and I’m so thankful that it has been received well.
