Born in Galveston, Texas, and raised in Daytona Beach, Florida, artist-producer-engineer D33 is on a mission to reshape the landscape of independent music. With a multi-hyphenate approach to artistry and a relentless DIY ethic, D33 has earned recognition not only for his sound but for his creative control across all aspects of his craft—including engineering, songwriting, producing, visual editing, and animation.
For D33, music isn’t just a passion—it’s a lifeline.
“What you hear in my music is 100% me,” said D33. “I taught myself everything—from playing guitar and piano at nine years old to mixing, mastering, and editing visuals. I don’t outsource. I believe in total creative ownership.”
Inspired by his late father, a musical director who worked with legends such as Prince, Luther Vandross, and Janet Jackson, D33’s music honors legacy while pushing into the future. His work blends elements of soul, R&B, electronic, and experimental sounds, forming a style he describes as “futuristic but grounded in timeless emotion.”
Despite early breakthroughs—collaborating and engineering with names like Bobby Shmurda, Kyle Massey, and Joji—D33’s road has been marked by intense personal struggle.
His father’s passing sent him into a deep depression, one compounded by his mother’s diagnosis of a brain tumor and subsequent stroke. Despite emotional and caretaking challenges, he found healing in the studio.
“I forced myself to create even when I didn’t want to. The studio became my therapy, and the music became a way to survive,” he said.
D33’s upcoming singles, “What It Takes” and “Stay Low,” embody that resilience. The records are as much emotional time capsules as they are statements of growth—crafted entirely by the artist from start to finish.
With a future-focused mindset, D33 envisions expanding his brand into an immersive multimedia experience that goes beyond just sound.
“My dream is to bring music, visuals, technology, and storytelling together. I’m building a brand that reflects not just my creativity, but my survival—and I want that to inspire others,” he said.
From genre-defying music to complete visual worlds, D33 is creating more than content—he’s building legacy. Through pain, perseverance, and unmatched independence, he’s proving that the future of artistry is self-made.
