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

Hi Daveon, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally?
I believe that my desire to outwardly express my creative became too strong not to pursue a career within my passion.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
As a performing songwriter, my focus is definitely story telling, and I think whether through lyric or melody my goal is to always tell a personal story, even if I’m singing a cover or music that may not be as original. I’ve been performing since age 9, and it has been a journey. As I grow older, I am grateful for the journey because it has served as experience for my art! I’ve gone through extreme emotions when it has come to being an artist/songwriter. Love, hate, indifference, to say the least but I’m very glad that my passion supersedes and my heart continues to create and as long as that happens I will forever create art.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I love Dallas, and as a native I’ve always gotten caught up in my personal favorites, but living here as an adult I am rediscovering Dallas.

And I would take the day and choose to rediscover with my friend, and make new favorites with my favorite.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
There are so many people who deserve a HUGE “Thank You”! I genuinely want to thank any and everyone who has ever supported me. My family and friends especially…they believed before I did, and I can NEVER repay them for it, but I’m definitely going to try!
