We had the good fortune of connecting with Deandre Brown and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Deandre, what’s the most important thing you’ve done for your children?
Making sure I had a life insurance policy on myself and making them the beneficiaries and making sure I created a roth ira and sep.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
. Being an independent artist hasn’t been easy, but it has been a wonderful journey and continues to be. Now that I’m older, I know how to navigate the ups and downs of the business with greater ease. I’ve been making music for about 20 years and have faced my share of letdowns and unfulfilled promises, just like many others in the industry. However, I never let those challenges discourage me. Instead, I learned to pivot and ensure that my name stayed relevant in the industry, making sure my face was always seen, whether through hosting shows or creating opportunities for other artists. If I were to pass away today, I want the world to know that I was a person who never gave up and always kept moving forward in this industry.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If a friend of mine were coming into town and wanted to do something, I would reach out to my boy @Djjamx to find out where he’s DJing that night so we can go support him. Before that, we’d hang out at my friend’s tattoo shop, @Madballtattoos, located in the beautiful city of Carson. Right next door is one of the best pizza spots in town, so we’d definitely grab a bite to eat there!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to give a heartfelt shoutout to everyone who continues to support me, like, and share my music. I also want to recognize companies such as Street Motivation Magazine, Modern Paradigm Marketing, and Juels of Rome for being in my corner and playing their part in helping me advance in my career. Your support means the world to me!
