"DreamHeart Spotlight #10"

No relation to our political dabbing host of the Appetence. “My first name is Donald and everyone in my area said I always kept a lot of money so they started calling me Donald Trump, then with us being so country that was too much to say and then it went from Donald Trump to D.Trump.”

Unlike many currently in the limelight shuttering when the paparazzi catch them in their norm routines of unsavory activity, this artist considers himself a role model. “I do a lot for kids and I always try to give back to the community. I have a great relationship with God which allows me to remain humble at all times.” said the Graysville, AL native.

Growing up in the small town outside of Birmingham, D.Trump listened to a lot of blues, jazz, and some rap. He fondly recalls “Dear Mamma, by Tupac.” However, in adulthood D.Trump has developed selective taste. “Now I listen to myself, T.I., Juelz Santana, Young Jeezy, and Andre 3000. No more, no less. If I listen to anything else it’s because I’m in the club or in someone else’s car.”

If you think growing was up outside of the big city would affect this ambitious hopeful, you’re wrong. “I use my country style to my advantage,” he said. “I make club music but it’s not all crunk type jump around the place. When I make each song I think about how people in the club would react when they hear it. “

Surprisingly this artist has only been making music for 2 months. “I recorded my first single after thanksgiving in 2011.” He said. However he realized his dream around puberty. “Since 6th grade when I was making beats on the lunchroom tables while have freestyle battles. I have been involved in the music industry for several years but I began to pursue a career as an artist in December 2011.”

Many would describe his introduction to the industry as a fairy tale. “I started as a manager because I really didn’t enjoy the spotlight of being an artist. I began my music career as an artist really to show others that it wasn’t difficult and I feel in love. It’s like a guy and his friends making a bet about a female and then he falls in love and marries her.”

D.Trump’s career goals are simple yet sure to make an impact.”I am currently working to get my record label off the ground and I am completing my debut album,” he said. “I will be doing a guest appearance at the M-Lounge on March 30, 2012.”

Bio

Born Donald Terrell Johnson, who would later be known as D. Trump, on January 4, 1985 in Birmingham, AL. In 2008, D.

Without hesitation, Trump recorded his debut single Dopeman Spokesman. During an interview conducted by Reverbnation about D. Trump, with a few music critics, this is what one reviewer had to say about his music:

Usually people just throw together hip hop music and don’t take the time to carefully place each lyric. Each lyric seems to be well thought out and well placed in the song. Big props to this artist on making such a great track!” Reverbnation Reviewer
