Daily Inspiration: Meet Demetrius Noble

Today we’d like to introduce you to Demetrius Noble.

Hi Demetrius, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
i am from Chicago by way of NW Indiana. I am a Music Artist, Engineer, Content Creator/editor. I got my love for music at a very young age from my father teaching me to play drums during offering time at our local church. During my younger years I got a rush from being able to do something that not to many people i had been around could. so I kept at it until my family uprooted and moved to “The Region” in Indiana. There I wouldn’t be able to play as much but I always new that in the right environment I belonged. My 6th grade year I met a friend by the name of DeAnglo Brown (R.I.P.) and he introduced me to free styling to industry instrumentals. I loved it. I wasn’t concerned with making money this is where I got my start. At that time I didn’t have drums but I still had music I got the opportunity to use it another way. Beats, words, melodies it was like a new way that I heard music.i started writing none stop almost every beat I heard because my limit was my imagination. This was around the time lil Wayne had dropped his debut album “The Block is Hot”. I would write and never showcase it. High school I would often battle rap rivals for some type of status. 300 if you will. After high school me and my child hood friend would reunite and record songs and would go to clubs in our area to perform them. After a couple years we parted ways after getting the city hot. My first Solo show/project entitled “Noble” (the adjective) I open for Young Dolph in hammond ind. After that show I expanded my network by performing shows and showing up studios mixing with other artist and region wide recorded cyphers. I understood early that while Gary is a good starting place but I wanted to perform in Chicago. My mission was to gain a bigger audience to judge if my sound was accepted. During this time I dropped my album “Sanity” after promoting this album I seen that while these states are dope we didn’t have much media coverage and drill wasn’t my lane. 2018 I moved to Atlanta to be get in the way of opportunity. Since moving here I have dropped a host of singles, dropped one album “Climate Change” and one EP “Anomaly”. Growing my fanbase from my prior two cities was only preparation for the next city. From performing open mics to entertain 60,000 people on fox 5 for the “Atlanta Look Up” July fourth festival amongst other things. I’m loading up to release an another EP Entitle “Red Letters” Summer 2025 please be on the look out.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Definitely not a smooth road—but that’s what made the journey real. Coming up in Northwest Indiana, opportunities were limited. It wasn’t a place where music careers were thriving, so I had to create my own lane. I dealt with self-doubt, lack of resources, and watching close friends—like my brother DeAnglo—pass away way too soon. That kind of loss shifted my whole mindset.

Balancing life, music, and mental health has been a constant battle. Moving to Atlanta was a leap of faith—I didn’t have a big network or safety net, just a vision and drive to push further. I’ve had to learn the business side, engineer my own sessions, and wear a lot of hats just to keep things moving.

But every setback added to the message. It taught me patience, independence, and how to turn pain into purpose. The road’s been rough, but it built the artist—and the man—I am today.

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I’m not just a rapper—I’m a musician, engineer, and storyteller. I came up in church on drums, sharpened my pen in battles, and built my sound from the ground up—from Chicago to The Region to ATL. I mix real-life experience with real musicality. No gimmicks, no trends—just honest, intentional hip-hop with a message. That’s Meech Music.

Any advice for finding a mentor or networking in general?
Yeah—when it comes to finding a mentor or building your network, the key is genuine connection over clout chasing. A lot of people are out here trying to force relationships with people just because they got a name. That’s not sustainable.

What’s worked for me is showing up consistently, being solid, and letting my work speak first. Whether it was open mics, studio sessions, or local events—I made it a point to be present, contribute value, and listen more than I talked. People remember authenticity.

When it comes to mentors, don’t always expect it to be some big-name artist or exec. Sometimes your mentor is the homie who’s just a step ahead in their journey, or that engineer who’s been in the trenches and can show you game behind the boards. I’ve learned a lot just by building real relationships and staying humble.

Also—don’t sleep on social media. Not for begging, but for building. Comment on people’s work, share it if you rock with it, start convos, and be yourself. The right people will gravitate toward your energy if it’s genuine.
