An Exclusive Interview With N.E.R.D Life By D'Vo

Upcoming 100: Who are your biggest musical influences?
N.E.R.D Life By D'Vo:
I consider myself a connoisseur of music, so I vibe with everyone. I always resonated with the message is Tupac's music.
 
Upcoming 100: When/How did you become interested in music?
N.E.R.D Life By D'Vo:
I've always had a passion for music, but I was in college and working in finance and just was called to create music to serve God. I quit my job and started along this journey.
 
Upcoming 100: How does the song "Butterflies" differ from your other songs?
N.E.R.D Life By D'Vo:
The song Butterflies is the essence of who I am as an artist; soulful throwback vibes with a positive message behind a few hard-hitting bars.
 
Upcoming 100: What skills/personal attributes are most important to being successful?
N.E.R.D Life By D'Vo:
Worth Ethic, I can say, is my greatest attribute; no one will ever outwork me. I do whatever I need to do to complete my part in God's plan.
 
Upcoming 100: What do you hope to achieve with your art?
N.E.R.D Life By D'Vo:
I want to bring music back to glorifying God. Music, especially Hip Hop, doesn't have that focal point anymore. Mainstream artists may make one song that briefly mentions God's name.
 
Upcoming 100: What advice would you give to new artists entering the industry today?
N.E.R.D Life By D'Vo:
Don't stop; keep going. When are you aren't sure about something, go ahead and put it out, and continue to refine your art. Make the revisions; it's a process. The other day I was listening to the breakfast club and the comedian, Chris Rock, said," don't ever judge me by the joke that bombed in the nightclub. Judge me by that same joke, that was refined and made people laugh during my NetFlix special". Meaning, keep trying new things, it may not work at first, but your persistence will create an environment for that same joke refined to make millions of people laugh.
 
Upcoming 100: What sets your music apart? What is unique, or at least uncommon, about your sound and style?
N.E.R.D Life By D'Vo:
My music is so unique because it's all over the place. I've got hard-hitting Hip Hop, Dark Rap with soulful hooks, Pop tracks with fun Vibes, Jazz Poems just all over the place.
 
Upcoming 100: Has your music career/journey had a deliberate direction or did it simply evolve organically?
N.E.R.D Life By D'Vo:
Through my journey, I have made some lifetime relationships with extraordinary people. I have made lasting partnerships, and together we continue to grow. It hasn't been an overnight thing, but we are gradually getting there. I am thankful for everyone that God has put in my life.
 
Upcoming 100: Where can potential fans find out more about you?
N.E.R.D Life By D'Vo:
"The Codex" is on all platforms, but www.nerdlifebydvo.com is where you will see the most current information about my brand.
 
"The Codex: Court Vision" is the 3rd album of the Experimental Hip Hop Series. Butterflies have been one of the leading singles on that album; people that loved that song also really liked Dim My Light.
