Tell us about yourself. Whats your name? Where are you from?
-My name is D.Willz and I am an artist/song writer from Oakland, Ca.
What does the word "based" mean to you? and if you didn't know what it meant until now what do you think of it?
-The word "based" means a lot to me because I feel it explains me as a person as well as an artist. I've always been the person that's gonna do me regardless and not care what others think and it clearly shows through my music.
How did you get your start in the music industry? What or who inspired you?
-I started writing and recording music at 8 years old for a school talent show and I haven't stopped since. Then in 2007 I got my first big break with my song "Licka Sto." I was mainly inspired by the artists I used to hear my parents play growing up like 2Pac, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre & Jay-Z.
What upcoming projects are you working on? Any videos or something special coming up?
-Currently we have "Hood Pop" available now Hosted By DJ ILL WILL & DJ Rockstar. We just released my 2nd single "Watermelon" in which the music video is currently in rotation on MTV Jams, MTVU and A.M. T.V. to name a few. After that we have one more single from "Hood Pop" being released and then "Hood Pop 2" is coming soon.
Are there any artists out there you would like to have the chance to work with? If so who?
-I wanna work with all the new comers of my generation like Wiz Khalifa, J.Cole & Drake. But in terms of the Bay, artists like Lil' B, Kreayshawn, Love Rance & iamsu.
Who are your favorite artists right now? Who's playing through your speakers?
-Right now I'm slappin' "Hood Pop 2"
What are some things that people might not know about you?
-I know all the dance moves to every song in the "Temptations" movie. Lol!
Whats some advice you can give to everyone that you have learned so far in your journey that could come in handy to someone else?
-Create a sound that is unique but true to who you are as an individual. Bring your listeners into your own world, stay persistent, positive, create tons of content, believe in your product and throughout the whole process remain "Based."
