Dcrae is an emerging rapper and songwriter from Australia.
Where are you based?
Cairns Australia
How long have you been making music?
5 Years as a recording artist & I feel like I’m just now beginning properly in my career as a solo artist
What genre would you consider your music to be?
Hip hop has always been my number 1 Genre but my ideal Goal is putting a hip hop/rap spin on different styles & genres around the world. Uniting different countries with their top artists and producing something totally different to the music industry
What inspired you to pursue a career in music?
I was literally born into the bs. My story is music that’s the best way I can answer that.
What are your biggest musical influences?
Tupac hands down, the man had meaning & knowledge he spoke from his heart alot hated and jealousy plays a major part in ths game of fame. As a recording artist I knew what my plan was I had ppl around me who knew and watched from the sides laughed and put shade on me, but I never quitted what’s funny is they only started chucking their hate and jealousy out there when I started making headlines or noise. You see the key to it all is to keep your circle small I dnt fk with ppl who are fake or are not on my lane and there’s a reason to why ppl are not in ur life and its not because of status i think ppl have gotten that part wrong its jus that they are not on your level of frequency or mindset so they are quickly removed. I keep my life small and simple, my cicle is everything its my sanctuary the way my life is, is a choice by me and I get to choose who is in it and who’s not. That’s called taking control of your life and owning it. ppl hate me doesn’t faze me because they are not in my life for starters or are not anywhere near me they are mere ghosts, I speak from my heart and that’s the way I like it. Dnt let ppl take you off your path period!
Are you signed to a label or are you an independent artist?
after 5yrs of discovery and practice or crafting. I was able to bring fourth my own record label Rbt-Recordz which btw wasent even part of my plan it just came about 1 day like a dream. it just made sense to me though all the work I done and the skills i learned literally is what record labels offer in their business its such a trip. But In all honesty it doesn’t need to make sense to other ppl, it’s not like they spent years truly connecting with themselves to craft or create so other ppls opinion is Nil. This journey we put ourselves on is a trip You never know what happens and in alot of cases when you believe in yourself and put yourself out there doors do open. Heck I’m proud of what I have done and what I started, with 0 knowledge and 0 help or support about the music Industry etc true shit. But My greatest memories is how I began I used mattresses to build a studio literally studio walls and i was using a $6 lavalier mic, 2 phones 1 for recording and 1 for music to headphones wtf! honestly no one believed in me but I sure showed them straight up! manifestation is key.
What have been the biggest challenges in your music career?
Stability, I go from town to town recording man, stability is out of whack but that’s the least of my worries tbh I havent been comfortable since mid 2020 I’ve litetally been everywhere in Australia with my family, Which is a blessing really it has made me mentally strong and literally the fear of going to new places I fear no more. I manifested to go traveling or go on a journey back in early 2019 and it happened, I am still on that journey and love it tbh, straight 100 When life is comfortable your not living at all i rekon ppl want so much in life but their hearts are jus pure ugly. when u go on your journey you realise life is everywere and living for life is all you need plus when you invest your time on the right ppl, you will live a better happier life than most people who somewhat have it all. No matter where you are stay real and true to your purpose everything happens for a reason the things I feared I fear no more my weaknesses have been tested and i prevailed I am were I am supposed to be and this journey I’m going through is to help craft me to become the person I need to be.
