O KNOW I was born and raised in Baltimore, Md! Aye Bmore I love a lot of artists, but musically my influences have been Michael Jackson, Tupac Shakur and Lauryn Hill. I also love Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Michael Jordan. All of these people possess their on unique thing, but they all share a passion that I can relate to. My stage name includes my initials and I added a twist to it, I love to write songs and I think highly of myself, so I gave myself the nickname DaHitwryter! Tupac Shakur! Made me get into the music industry. I saw him when I was about 9 years old and he gave me so much life! Just seeing how passionate and versatile he was, made me want to do it too. If I was not making music Basketball was my first love, unfortunately I got hit by the injury bug one too many times, but my hoop dream was strong lol. My music is a journey about the things I’ve faced as a lesbian. I’m a storyteller so each time you press play, you will definitely take a trip, as I lyrically paint pictures in your mind! When someone comes to one of my shows they should expect ENERGY! And again, we will go on a journey, as I tell my audience a story. Verses The Mixtape is the latest project! Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to listen and share it. I actually released it 2 years ago, but I didn’t have the same opportunities that I have now so no one really knew about www.MisfitTunes.com Verses The Mixtape it. Shout out to my team Yag Elite and Caterina, because of them, a lot of people are hearing what some call my best work. I want my music to inspire people, and get them through whatever they are dealing with. I want my music to make people think and I want my songs to decrease homophobia. There is nothing wrong with homosexuality, except the hate that the LGBTQ people, HUMAN BEINGS, face on a day to day basis in this society. In high school I knew that I didn’t want to sign to a major, unless I reached a point where I could go in calling the shots, and not 50/50, on some 80/20, maybe 70/30 level. I’ll never give anyone the rights to control MY VISION! I already made it! That has to be your first thought before you do anything. Think it, be it! Making it is coming out of the womb. I think the non gay supporters would be surprised by how much I embrace my femininity! I love being a woman, I just love men’s clothing. ~DH DaHitWryter 13
