Im a 20 year old upcoming artist who was born and raised in Tucson Arizona. Music has always been a part of me since. Thanks to my parents and family I have had all sides of the music industry from hip/hop, rap, country, oldies, blues, you name it I heard it. Rap has always been my thing though. I used to have fun and just freestyle and write music, I never really took it seriously or anything until now. I have great family, friends and local artist in tucson that are pushing me to pursue it. One thing also is that there are so many good artist everywhere that haven't been heard yet. For instance Tucson Az has some of the most talented artist I have ever seen. It's time to put this city on the map and show the music industry that there is talent out here, not even just in tucson all over the world. I know people say there are to many people trying to rap now these day.. honestly it may be the truth but for a lot of us music is everything, I couldn't survive without music and I know a lot of you couldn't either. It's a way of expression. You can let out anger, happiness. You can tell stories in music. Honestly if you have a passion for it don't give up keep on pushing until you reach the top. I may be preaching right now but it has to be said. Hate it or love it, doesn't matter to me. 

Talented, aspirational, and diligent—did I mention talented? Dee Chappell is in fact there. Dee Chappell, true name Demetrius Chappell, is from Tucson, Arizona, a stunning city. Dee was able to easily adjust to the music lifestyle thanks to his musically talented family growing up. At the age of 14, Dee began writing his own music after hanging out with pals who were usually rapping. Years later, at the time, he had performed extensively, produced mixtapes, two albums, and an EP! He aspires to greatness, and we don't see that changing any time soon.
