We had the good fortune of connecting with Devonte Hill and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Devonte, every day, we about how much execution matters, but we think ideas matter as well. How did you come up with the idea for your business?
Well I have loved music since i was a child, from church to school, I was always involved in something with music. Started teaching myself how to dj when I was 15 when I stole my sister laptop and downloaded Ots turntables. My friends and I use to freestyle over beats all the time. So It really followed me all my life.
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.
Man, long nights! Many lonely, hungry, nights and days. I use to sleep in the studio, wake up straight grinding. Tryna perfect my sound. I even backed up from djing which was my main source of income, and fully pursued a career that wasn’t bring nothing back. Connecting and networking with other people over America to be heard. Signing myself up for shows, I’ve don’t a lot of free shows just to get exposure. It’s not easy at all, it’s draining and time consuming. But I love it.
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
We would go to Dallas, not too much where I’m from. But my favorite joint is the HOUSE OF HEROES, owned by and NFL pro player. Davonte Harris! Best wings ever! Great environment! Or we would go make something music, I mean that one of my favorite things to do.
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My sister; Shalesia Rhodes-Brown, she’s a big motivation in my life. Also my manager/mentor Eshia Rae! She has been apart of my transformation and I love everything about her. Last but not least my Children! Dkaiden, Devonte Jr., Laila, Dior!
