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

Hi Dooley, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
Literally…I’m an independent artist. I can be of service to other artists.

The best privilege is to work for yourself…you can grind as much as you want, you can minimize distraction, you have more control over your life. Investing my time in running a studio and selling beats is ideal.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I’m my most authentic self when I’m creating. Either I’m getting out feelings or I’m having fun.

I put in a crazy amount of work and I love every second of it. Producing, writing, creating content…I’m addicted to the grind. That’s what sets me apart.

I’m most excited about “New Energy by Dooley” out now on Youtube.

Getting here took a lot of prayer and adaptation. It isn’t easy. Life hits hard sometimes, but I feel like I can overcome any challenge I’m faced with. I don’t think challenges are there to derail you, I believe they’re an opportunity for you to level up. And that’s probably been the best lesson I’ve gotten out of this.

I want the world to know I’m always working.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Hollywood is my favorite part of the city. I’m fascinated with Rock N Roll’s history there.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Many people deserve recognition. I want to dedicate this shout out to 5 of the artists that I’ve worked, closely with. All of you inspire me to go harder.
