Meet DEE MO | RECORDING ARTIST

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

Hi DEE MO, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally?
To be honest it started out as a kid back in preschool. Ever chance I got I was entertaining and speaking in school. When I was in kindergarten I asked to be in the school talent show and I was told it wasn’t for kindergartener’s, so I begged my teacher to let me get on stage before the talent show started. My parents were at the school talent show because I told them my class was going to be on stage. My name was called and it was quiet as ever in the gymnasium. I got on stage and I started rapping about staying in school and getting an education. The whole gymnasium was cheering me on. Although I wasn’t in the competition I still walked away with the first place star and a 6th grader walked away with the trophy. At that very moment my parents signed me up for acting classes and my school explored more to see what I was capable of doing. By the time I was in the 3rd grade, I won spelling bee’s, young author competitions and more. To sum everything up, I enjoy entertaining and being on stage.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I’m a recording rap artist. What sets me apart from other artist is my live performances on stage. I’m the artist that catches you off guard. Once the track drops it’s go time. My catchy hooks and clever flow patterns is what sets me apart from other artist. I’m most proud of the fact I’m still true to myself and I’ve received many awards and I’ve had numerous news interviews and also I’ve had the pleasure to open up for a lot of artist on tour. How I got to where I am at today wasn’t easy at all. I had to take a lot of criticism and hearing no more times than I can remember. I always turned a no into a yes no matter the situation. The biggest lesson I learned is to never give up no matter what because all it takes is one time to be at the right place at the right time. I like for the world and others to know that if you have a dream or a passion for something that you can achieve anything if you keep faith in yourself when nobody else does and to always have a plan.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Well I’d probably take them to an all you can eat restaurant because all my friends and family love to eat. Secondly I’d take them to a nice bar to relax and have a few drinks. I would take them to shoot pool and go bowling to have some fun.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I’d first like to thank GOD. Without GOD nothing is possible. Secondly, I’d like to thank my beautiful and loving Wife Teishanna for always encouraging and pushing me to stay consistent and for helping with song ideas. Thirdly, I’d like to thank OGMM which is who I am officiated with as a crew. Thank you to O.G. FRAT BONA, SOLOW91, Jokool. Frac Mono, Mr. White and SLAYWORKS ATL for everything. Last but not least shoutout to KEEF for all the times he came to my performances and filmed me. To anybody that I forgot to mention, I appreciate you all.
