What is your favorite song you’ve created so far?

“Like my children, each is different but loved equally. The following songs have been getting significant reactions from both live and streaming audiences:

“Born American” https://youtu.be/u-h9rzPX7Pw?si=4s1_giSOMs-Sfsfb , my latest single about growing up Bi-Racial in the U.S.A.

“Sweet Toxic Love” https://youtu.be/rek3Juboz9U?si=BuI84N3uleYkBhep, A track from my first album, a humorous fan fave about Toxic Relationships

“Night Ride Home” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hh3APWafURA&t=11s, An ode to single mothers.”

Who is an inspirational figure in your mind?

“Hands Down Jesus.”

What does music mean to you? Why and how so?

“Music is life. Adaptable, it makes people of all ages, creed, color, and races connect. It even turns enemies into allies.”

If you could share highlights of this year so far in your musical career, what would they be?

“I’ll let you know by the end of the year.”

What thoughts come to mind when you think about your efforts in music? Have you had several failures to find success, or are you just naturally lucky?

“Failure is just another way of saying, “Back To The Drawing Board” and keep moving forward. Luck comes with hard work and knock downs, you won’t find it sitting still.”

Where can we find your music, and why should we? Why is Dean M. Dent’s music so iconic?
