DMinor Perspective on How You Doin

I am DMinor of MMENT and a singer/songwriter/producer/engineer that graduated from SAE-MIAMI.

I created this song with meeting a new female at a cookout that I've never seen before, just to bring fun and good times back to music.

My earliest memory of listening to music would be being a little kid and sleeping with the radio quiet storm jams on and hearing them in my sleep it always relaxed me and took me to another place in my imagination.

As I got older in high school was when I said I want to do this and the feeling just got stronger and stronger as I approached my dreams.

This release plays into more RnB and Rap because of the featured Rap artist on the record.

Oh man! My sound has completely gotten better because of my experiences and the expectations I've put on myself to be the best student of music I can possibly be. I always want to be open to learning more about my craft.

As far as themes I'm not sure what this question is referring to but I'm open to great ideas and I incorporate what I've learned into my music where I see fit.

It would definitely be Babyface because he's one of the best producers, songwriters that really inspired me because of his long list of collaborations and his experience in the industry and I'd learn so much valuable information to use and grow as an artist. And you never hear of anything bad about him always great things.

Just listen with your heart open not only your ears but definitely let your heart feel it.

My music is old mixed with the new and it's all really about me and my experiences never about anything I didn't do or I have never seen so it's authentically me. And I don't put myself in a box I am able to be flexible in any genre of music.

Prince because he was talented as a performer and could play every instrument on stage. 

My favorite song would have to be "How You Doin" because it was my first video I actually put out all on my own no help.

Babyface, Chris Brown and Bob Marley. These three give me the perfect balance of love, energy and nostalgic moments in life.

Millions of ppl singing along to every one of my songs whether it be online or in person on stage I want everyone to have the DMinor experience. 

Babyface

Listening to jazz music I never thought I would take a big liking to jazz as I do now.

I want ppl to feel love and understanding as if I'm right there with them in the thick of their situations.

HE IS AMAZING!

Any social media site period.

I don't necessarily practice but I get better with every song I produce I find ways to keep the listener into it and I challenge my vocal limits.

When going to SAE-MIAMI my instructor who recorded with Michael Jackson wanted to rerecord one of my records with a live band and it came out amazing!

Success to me is just being able to be performing in front of ppl that love music the way I do and to be recognized for bringing a great sound back to music that is different from anybody else's. 

Just by being a student of the game and being open to change.

Influence no matter if it's good or bad they play a major role.

My song How You Doin because nobody can say I did that for him I did it all on my own and it came out great to me.

Not scary, but frustrating because ppl have alterior motives and I get frustrated when it's all about money and not the talent or the support.

Forgetting my lyrics while on stage.

I would want it non profit because music should be freely given and expressed to whomever wants to share their love for it but obviously handling the business side without ppl falling out over money.

Military veteran.

I draw and I'm a barber so these are artistic expressions so I can be creative with all of them.

Yes it can be when ppl don't love it the way I do I can break a whole song down from beat to melodies to lyrics and put them back together again and most don't get my passion in music.

Creativity is your canvas so create your vision just the way you see it no matter what anyone else says.

My favorite work of art would have to be my kids because they all have their own piece of me but yet they are their own individuals.

Not sure because I love being my own individual so anyone that has had longevity in the music business and continue to grow.

You have to learn as much as you can about your craft. Don't let anyone tell you what you can't do.

I was told I couldn't do it so I'm doing it without the support of those that I've supported so that drives me.

To be remembered for showing love to all ppl when they meet me or have had the chance to meet me and leave a great impression on whomever that person or persons may be.

I create a beat then transfer it to pro tools and create a song.

I wanted a florida sound with bass n 808s and a cookout vibe or club vibe just having a good time and it came out that way.

I enjoy both.

Maybe some smoke n a shot of tequila. 

Every aspect.

Maybe a hundred or so.

Ableton and ProTools.

There's too many but most definitely reverb, delay and auto tune if you're a singer just be creative and standout.

Use my ears they don't lie.

Releasing the video making the track was easy.

I don't play an instrument but I love chords and session horns and 808s.

Inspiration is a must.

2 hours to complete a song beat and all.

My harmonies. 

Dj Mustard because I love how he utilizes the west coast sound but he kills the 808s.

2016.

YouTube and Instagram. 

Most definitely.

It works as long as you have a good marketing strategy and team.

Instagram and YouTube.

YouTube and Instagram.

Music.

How You Doin because it's my first video that I did all the work on and the ppl in the video.

Not yet but soon to come I can't wait for the experience.

Definitely because it shows what I'm capable of.

By listening to new artists.

Artists live performances for tips on how to control the crowd.

Yes because you had to interact with ppl more and I'd rather be around real ppl so they can get the full experience of who I am.

Yes.

Remakes or challenges to make a remake of a song.

AI generated song of Boosie Smokin on Purple.

It helps us and it helps artists to stay relevant.

Negativity like negative comments that may mess with anyone's self esteem and may want to make them cause harm to themselves.

Everyday is an experience to be shared.

The good old days of really talking to a woman without texting.

Exactly what it has done it reminds ppl of good times.

Too many to say.

My kids and family that enjoy my music they make me want to keep going.

All of them actually happened to me in order for me to create these songs.

Not sure.

Chris Brown.

Good transitions that keep the song exciting.

Sense of humor.

New inspiration.

Most definitely.

I just take a break and take a walk or watch tv.

No.

Music.

At night or when good things happen.

A song called real me I did it's really about who I am as a person.

Solar eclipse.

Solar eclipse.

Having fun releasing worry.
