Music business powerhouse to musician pipeline: DaBoyDame releases “Feelings” for Def Jam Recordings debut
Head of A&R and Producer for Yo Gotti’s CMG label, DaBoyDame, drops new song “Feelings” off of his upcoming album SALUTE TO THE REAL, PRAY FOR THE FAKE (release details to be announced in the near future) for his Def Jam Recordings debut. Featured on the track is EST Gee and Rick Ross. Now available on all platforms!
DaBoyDame did it all. With 10 years dedicated to music business as a producer, songwriter, head of A&R, to releasing his OWN music, he definitely feels that there’s an advantage to previously working opposite of artists. “Yeah, definitely got a cheat code,” DaBoyDame proudly admits. He believes that learning the business side of the industry while building a career as an artist proves to be a recipe of a successful artist.
For all the rising artists reading this, you might be wondering, what does a top A&R look for in a prospective artist?
Originality.
“I actually want the next YOU,” he reveals, also stating that copycat artists who lack individuality are met with a short lifespan in the industry.
“Don’t expect me to believe in your passion, your dream, more than you. You should go harder than I’m gonna go for you.”
Some people are really meant to be artists, and DaBoyDame falls under that list. His debut album Can’t Fake The Real in 2017 featured Black Youngsta and Mozzy, while his 2018 viral single “Dreams” had G-Eazy, Yo Gotti, and Dej Loaf on board. Now it’s time for DaBoyDame to take the stage.
“Feelings” Music Video
“‘Feelings’” is about not allowing your feelings/ego to get in the way of you getting money. Don’t miss opportunities because you’re taking a situation personally. Keep your eye on progression and upward mobility. It’s about feeling food. Laughing. Being productive.”
