DBN Damo Perspective on Boot Scoot (Tribute To Jeter Jones)
Smoking marijuana really brings out my creative side. It heightens my senses so when I listen to beats I'm able to hear pass the surface and that allows to pull lyrics out even when I'm stuck.
My process is simple, nothing too complicated. Once I hear a beat a few times I let it simmer. Then I'm able to write my hook and from there the verses sometimes fall right into place. Sometimes it takes me 2-3 days to finish a full song.
So far at this point in my career, I prefer to work alone. It allows me to stay true to who I am as an artist. I have a few collabs but I think my best work comes when it's just me on a track.
For me it's the microphone because I love to sing.
Quincy Jones because he worked with my idol, Michael Jackson. I know Quincy would pull nothing but greatness out of me.
I enjoy the writing and recording the most.
I started using Social Media as an artist in late 2022
It's made everything so snap, crackle, & pop. I believe authenticity has ben taken away. It isn't just about talent anymore.
Definitely Instagram
Instagram because I get the majority of my engagement from Instagram
I would choose Boot Scoot because of the vibe. It's a movin' & groovin' song so to have it go viral and have people dancing to it would be awesome
In a way I believe it's hurting. No one has to be honest and stay true to themselves anymore. Whatever's popping on social media that's what the new artists role with. Me, I love being authentic and I'll always be that way.
Retiring my mom and dad and putting them in a better living situation. Being wealthy so we never have to go back to the hood is my biggest driving force
My ego and the fact that I love challenging myself to do what I've never done before.
I want this song to reach family reunions and trailrides all over the world.
I actually have 3. Michael Jackson, Fetty Wap, Rod Wave
I would have to say Kevin Hart
Rod Wave
Putting the words together for the verse. I think it comes easy to freestylers because most of them don't think while flowing. For me as a writer, I'm always in my thoughts and it's get especially hard when writers block occurs
I tend to listen to Pop Music when I'm stuck. Most notably Taylor Swift
Yes most definitely. The majority of my songs are about love, heart break, & overcoming all odds. That's exactly the make up of who DBN Damo is.
I am Dameon Q Strong, stage name DBN Damo. I'm an Independent artist by way of Shelby Mississippi. I'm versatile so I've tried my hand at Rap, R&B, Country, & Blues. My music consist of a lot of melodic work.
In 2022 I became homeless and started sleeping in my car in front of my auntie house. During that time I became a big fan of Rod Wave and hearing him talk about his similar struggles, I decided that from then on I would take being an artist serious (I started writing music in 2016).
Boot Scoot falls into the blues category. Whether it be Delta Blues or Southern Soul Blues, it's a groove that people can move to.
If you were to hear some of my earlier music that I never released, you would say that I was definitely influenced by Rod Wave. But since 2022 I've come along way in writing, recording, and just the flows that I use on each song. I think I've grown to include more passion in my voice when recording.
I would like to go on tour with Rod Wave, Fetty Wap, or Jeter Jones. I say one of those 3 because they are my greatest inspirations, besides Michael Jackson, that have had a major impact on my music & journey.
My main reason for continuing my music journey is my family. The goal has always been to get out of the hood but at first I was doing it for me. Overtime it became "Ok I have to get mom & dad out of here so they don't have to work anymore." That's what's driving me and I won't ever get from behind the wheel.
My music is music that resonates with the listener. I try to tell the story of my life in my music. The way I relate to some things Rod Wave talks about, I know there are listeners out there that have been through some of the things I talk about. My music will give u different emotions and inspirations with every song.
That's an easy answer. Michael Jackson. If I could have seen him live in person, my life would have been made and there would be nothing tht could top that. MJ was & is my biggest idol. I have two MJ pictures on my wall and Everytime I record music, I point to him and say "Thank you."
My favorite song from my catalog would have to be Broken Hearts. I choose that one because that's the first song I ever had professionally mixed & mastered. That song is very personal and close to my heart. I think that song was the beginning of me taking my storytelling up a notch.
That's easy man. It would have to be Rod Wave. It has to be Rod Wave
I want people to feel like they can overcome anything. I want to give the feeling of get up and go get it. It's about the grind, the struggle, and never giving up.
Back in 2023 D.C Youngfly hit me back on Instagram and said "I see you working" That meant a lot because I obviously listen to his music and at that point in time my main thing was "I'm gonna get DC to respond to my music." And it happened a couple days after.
I've had quite a few jobs. I love cooking so most of my jobs have been in restaurants and kitchens. I've been Team Leader, Head Cook, Sales Associate, Material Handler just to name a few.
Definitely has been lonely to a degree. Honestly weed, writing, and listening to Taylor Swift has been a big part of me counteracting that loneliness.
Rod Wave, Fetty Wap, & a little bit of Mo3
I've learned that the support you want & need won't come from your friends and family. The support won't come from your own hometown. I've learned that the support u need will most likely come from strangers and people in other states and countries
My biggest goal is to become wealthy enough that me and my family never have to come back to the hood. The goal is to make it to the good life, and stay there. Obviously being famous and rich are things I want as well but being able to put and keep my family on the better side of life is far more important to me.
