Good morning everyone and welcome to another Tunes For Tuesday. Today I’m featuring the lovely Dyre and his new album Let’s Die Together. I first met Dyre through Uzi Walker who streams on twitch and also features on a few songs on this album. Dyre is a really lovely guy who’s always happy to chat and answer questions about his music. So if you’d like to learn more about Dyre from the man himself check out his interview below.
If you would like to follow Dyre on social media you can do bye clicking on the links below.
How To Listen:
For me the thing that most stands out are his lyrics which are really heartfelt and emotional. You can tell he’s put a lot of thought into them and I feel they help give you an insight into how he was feeling when he wrote the song. His music is available on all the major streaming platforms which I’ve linked below. I’ve put the YouTube videos for two of my favourite song below, long time readers of my blog might recognise the two artists featured on the songs as they are also previously been featured on here.
Interview:
Tell us a little about yourself?
I go by Dyre, I’m 19, and I’ve been making music for about three years now.
What first got you into music?
I’ve always been interested in music and have used it as a way to cope with life for as long as I can remember. I started playing the guitar around age 12, and from there took orchestra and learned about music theory.
Who inspired you to make music?
I started making music in late 2018 because I had seen independent artists like Pouya and $uicideboy$ approach to music and the topics they talked about within their songs, it made me believe I could transition from listening to music as a coping mechanism to making music.
How would you describe the music that you typically create?
I like to make songs that I feel like people can relate to because of how much I’ve relied on music to get me through a lot of problems. I make a lot of sad or angry music just reflecting my mood at the time.
What is your creative process like?
I typically just make a beat and write about whatever I’m thinking about or feeling right then. I’m not a very organized person, it kind of just happens randomly and I like that aspect of creation, it feels much more meaningful to me that way.
Who would you most like to collaborate with?
I’d definitely like to make a song with Pouya if I had the opportunity.
If you could go open a show for any artist who would it be?
If I could open for anybody, It would hands down be $uicideboy$, their shows are an incredible experience and the messages they convey are so sick.
What is one message you would give to your fans?
To my fans I’d say, thank you for any amount of support you’ve shown me. I wouldn’t be making music and releasing it if nobody listened, so I appreciate all of you for letting me continue to share my thoughts with you.
What is the most useless talent you have?
I can clap with one hand
Do you sing in the shower? What songs?
I listen to music every time I’m in the shower, usually just whatever’s in my playlist which is probably something sad.
What would you be doing right now, if it wasn’t for your music career?
I honestly don’t think I’d still be here if I didn’t start creating music. If I’m ever going through a lot I just make music to talk about it and I haven’t found anything else that I can use like that.
Where have you performed? What are your favourite and least favourite venues? Do you have any upcoming shows?
I’ve actually yet to perform, but I do have a show coming up in Oklahoma City on December 18th, Excited to finally be on a stage.
How do you feel the Internet has impacted the music business?
I think the internet has done a lot of good for the music industry in the sense that it’s much easier to release music and make music from home than it ever has been. At the same time, the music industry has become over saturated with artists, big and small, which makes it harder to reach a lot of people.
Which famous musicians do you admire?
I really like lil peep and his style of music because I feel like it allowed him to convey his thoughts the best way that he could, and I think that’s all that art is, the world from someone else’s perspective.
What is the best advice you’ve been given?
To not care about what other people think about you because you can’t control it, and that it’s okay to let yourself feel all emotions but don’t dwell on bad thoughts.
If you could change anything about the industry, what would it be?
I’d change how artists are looked at as products instead of as individuals that are experiencing the same world as everyone else.
What’s next for you?
In the near future I plan to continue to release music and improve the quality of it indefinitely, I still have a lot further to go and I am nowhere near finished.
Playlist:
You can now listen to Dyre and all previously featured artists on a special playlist I’ve created on Spotify.
