Meet Deetocx | Music producer and an independent artist

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

Hi Deetocx, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
I think risk is something that all must take, you never know what may change your life over night.

I was doing a bachelor’s degree in a triple major subject (Psychology, English Major and Journalism) , during lockdown I almost gave up on my degree as I saw my potential as an Hiphop artist. I took the risk of dropping my degree and dedicated myself to become an extraordinary music producer.

I was self taught by researching on google, YouTube, etc. and learnt music production to an expert level. Today I am an independent hiphop artist and a versatile music producer, not a lot of people know me but I believe that, this is the process of my growth and I trust this process. Mainly dedication and focus are the ones that will surely one day get you where you want to be.

Best Regards,
DEETOCX

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I make hiphop music and I produce almost all genres as an artist. I won’t say I have a very successful life as an artist or producer who knows everything because there is always something new to learn when you are in a creative field.

I learn something new about my art everyday as music production is such a vast concept, It’s not easy learning everything together, there will come times when you’ll go under a creative block, during that time what I do is I relax myself by doing something else productive. For example,
There was a moment when I was not able to make a melody for a beat that I was working on, I went on and started to make a painting and It so happened that I randomly started humming a melody and boom that’s where I had the idea for the melody.

Once a wise men said “Practice makes a man perfect” and I would like to add on to that quote “Practice make a man perfect and dedication make a man successful” and that is the lesson I have learnt along the way.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I would chill at the beach on an evening. Probably go to a club on Saturday night.
Go grab pizza or burrito for lunch.
Produce music at night.

Depends on the mood, me and my buddy don’t run by an itinerary, we make spontaneous plans.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My brother-in-arms Graphene who still makes music with me. I thank him for believing in me as an artist, as a friend and as a brother.
