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

Hi Damon, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally?
I pursued a career in creating music after watching Usher MasterClass the art of performance as I was traveling for work. His words made it feel like he was talking to me but I doubted it at first. As the doubt set in, LL Cool J sat right next to me. I asked him “you’re portrait is hanging in the Smithsonian next to Michelle Obama, how does that make you feel” you stated “it’s a really great feeling” I said “I want to do something like that in life” he told me “you will, I already see it” this happened in December 2019, three months later the pandemic happened and I took that as a sign to start doing everything Usher said and starting creating music.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My art and my music sets me apart because it’s automatically me. The lyrics to all my music is positive and uplifting. The production of my tracks are made to make you dance!

I have gotten to where I am today in the music industry by being nice to people and my work ethic. To be successful in any career, I believe having those characteristics can get you far in life.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Haha. Great question, having a great time with friends usually involves meeting up at a fun beach destination and partying until the sun comes up! If you listen to the lyrics of my song “Where we Going” from my latest EP “The Great Experience” that track is a great answer to this question.

I have found that you meet the most amazing and interesting people when travel the world. Having a good time with good music and good energy has been one of my greatest life experiences. Getting out of your bubble to see what this world has to offer teaches you a lot about yourself.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would dedicate a shout out to Usher and LL of course. I would have not began a career I making music if it was not for those two.
