We had the good fortune of connecting with DXPE and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi DXPE, how do you think about risk?
I think everything in life comes with a risk, wether it’s jumping out there to follow your dreams or staying complacent because you’re too afraid to do so. Either way both come with risks, such as succeeding, failing, or never knowing.

During these past few year, I took the risk to pursue music and reinvent myself as a recording artist. With this actions, I have had a lot of wins and a lot of lessons learned (I wouldn’t consider any of these lessons to be losses or failures). But with this risk, I’ve realized that this is something that I want to make into a career and a lifestyle.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I definitely wouldn’t say starting my creative career has been easy lol, but day by day I learn more and definitely wouldn’t trade it for the safer “9 to 5 for the rest of my life” route. Not saying that anything is wrong with that route at all, but I feel God put me here to be and do more, no matter how difficult it may be at times.

Like a lot of upcoming artists these days, I’m doing this independently. Paying for every idea I bring to life out of pocket. Somedays this is a challenge, especially with the state the economy’s in right now, but it has to get done. Basically using a 9-5 to fund my dreams that may or may not work lol. I get through this by trying to be optimistic about it and praying on it to come to fruition.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I’d definitely two of my good friends, Bishop Osei & Scxtty Lyrique. Both of these guys are artists and engineers in their own right, and without them I don’t think I would’ve ever attempted to approach a booth or studio. Big shoutout to the homies.
