West Palm Beach Artist .D.B. Is Ready To Shake Up The Underground

In the heart of West Palm Beach, a new sound is brewing. For the artist known as .D.B., the journey into music started with a simple push from a friend. Back in middle school, he was already surrounded by music, but it took a close homeboy to convince him to step into the booth. They spent two years making tracks together before eventually branching off into their own solo paths. Since that start in 2017, .D.B. has been crafting a unique space for himself within the world of hip hop and experimental trap. His influences read like a list of modern innovators. He looks up to Juice WRLD for his raw emotion and Travis Scott for those intricate, automated effects that make a song feel like a journey. You can also hear the high energy of artists like Playboi Carti and Yeat in his style. While he mostly sticks to trap right now, he plays a bit of piano and plans to expand his palette as his career grows. He is not interested in staying in one box for too long. For .D.B., the album format is sacred. While many artists today focus on quick singles, he takes immense pride in his full length projects. He believes that a project is the best way to be truly expressive. It gives fans a chance to see the real him over the course of thirty minutes to an hour. He says that his past work is still very special to him because it taught him how to structure his music. Every song he has released served as a building block for the artist he is becoming today. Success for .D.B. is not just about the numbers. It is about the feeling of the music. He often thinks back to his first live show as a major turning point. The energy was high and he met people that day who are still important in his life. He also finds a lot of joy in those quiet moments in the studio. He says the days when he creates his favorite songs are the best ones to look back at. Right now, he is entering a new era. He describes his current work as a big turn in swag and style. While he keeps a lot of his process behind the scenes, he is constantly working on music that he feels the world is not quite ready for yet. Fans wont have to wait much longer to hear what he has been cooking up. His new album Decibels is set to drop on the 20th. The project will feature between thirteen and eighteen tracks, packed into a lean thirty minute listening experience. It promises to be a fast paced look into the mind of an artist who is just getting started.
