Artist Spotlight: MC Lady Dame

Tell us your story! What inspired you to become an artist?
​
​A few years ago, I was in a relationship that inspired me to start writing. I've always been a music head, loved art, fashion and everything entertainment. I've never written any songs until that relationship and my then person who was also an artist helped me discover my hidden talent, and I haven't looked back ever since. 
 
DCMS strives on educating and inspiring the local music community. Is there another musician you have mentored? How did you help them thrive in the music industry?
 
I haven't personally mentored any musician yet, however, I have provided a few artists my input on creative direction and figuring out their sound.

 What current projects are in the works?
 
Currently, I’m preparing for the release of two new singles as well as my new apparel line.

What’s the best piece of advice a musician gave you?
 
"It's a marathon and not a race, take your time, work hard and be consistent."  
 
How do you feel DCMS can continue supporting the local music industry and beyond? 
 
To continue to advocate for local musicians, investing in programs that bring more attention to the DC music scene, as well as creating more hubs where we as musicians can express ourselves freely and get more exposure. 

What is one fun fact about you? 
 
I used to be a cheerleader and have several awards to prove it!
