When you devote your life to pursuing your passion while serendipitously helping others along the way, your life becomes an incredibly rewarding experience. Producer and Hip-Hop artist DaGi has beat the system and done exactly so with his music career. In creating music that allows him to cope with the adversities of life, the creative learned that it wasn’t just for his benefit. 
DaGi’s music is influenced by his experiences and memories in Des Moines, Iowa. He began creating music while in prison at age 16. It gave him a fleeting escape from his reality and a sense of freedom and hope during the time.  One to see the light in darkness, DaGi recalls this period as a time during which he got to know himself better. He reflected on the discrepancies he experienced as a minority in Iowa. Being half African American and half Caucasian, he could see both sides of the racial spectrum which gave him an unexampled perspective. Today, he expresses these views in the lyrics he writes.
Over the years, he has taken note from lyrical geniuses such as Tupac, Nas, Jay Z, DMX, and Lil Wayne. He remains inspired by life, accepting the good along with the bad and transferring it to musical expression. DaGi has been seen at the Val Air Ballroom, the Drake Relays and All State Correctional Facilities in Iowa in past performance. You can check out his Mixtape, “Locked Out Here With Me” and upcoming EP, “No Middle Man” on https://soundcloud.com/therealdagi.
