Today we’d like to introduce you to Dimitri Roseboro.
Hi Dimitri, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I started making music back in 2017 in Charlotte a little ways out from where I stayed in Monroe, NC. When my grandma passed away in 2018, it was a wake-up call for me. I wanted to do what made me happy, this pain I felt, I wanted to put it into a good place. I haven’t stopped making music since the day I got that call. I decided to up and move to Atlanta when I graduated school back in 2018 to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Audio production and further my dreams. I’m now a senior at the Art Institute about to graduate. Since I’ve got here I’ve had numerous music opportunities such as hosting my own show with other artists I associate myself with, radio interviews and more. Since 2017 I’ve accumulated over a million streams throughout all distribution sights together. Slowly but surely making a name for myself in Atlanta.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Getting reposted and direct messages from different celebrities throughout the years made me think that things would happen a lot faster for me. Starting out, I used to remix and freestyle over popular songs, at a point in time, it was really challenging to get people to listen to my music as an artist. I also have struggled with shying away from my vocal ability throughout my career, being nervous about what people have said about my singing.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
Upcoming Artist with blissful melodies and witty lyrics. I’ve earned a lot of recognition over the years for freestyling over popular tracks on the internet and going viral. I think what separates me from other artists is my drive and determination to create great music. My love for music is unexplainable since I was younger, I’ve always had a strong love for it. Nowadays, it’s easy to call yourself a rapper or an artist not just because technologies made it easier, but because our standards for what we call them aren’t set very high, What happened to writing music that actually means something? Not just something that sounds good musically.
In terms of your work and the industry, what are some of the changes you are expecting to see over the next five to ten years?
I think music is something that naturally progresses whether it’s good or bad. In the next five years, I’ll already be where I need to be so hopefully, we can change the way things are. It’s crazy to think we’re having conversations like R&B is dead. In my honest opinion, I think a lot of the creativity and feeling in music is becoming something that’s harder to find.
