Q&A WITH NYREISHA

What is your Name? Where are you from and what first got you interested in the entertainment industry?

My name is Nyreisha and I’m from San Diego , CA. I’ve wanted to be singer my whole life so you could say I was born with the interest , lol. So when I discovered I had a talent for writing and singing, I knew there was no limit.

Who and/or what inspires you to create?


My music is heavily inspired by love. Whether it be newfound love, the loss of love, or the lack thereof, love is what inspires every song I write.

How would you describe your sound?


I think my sound is like old school rnb mixed w’ a little bit of the present. It gives you that feel good love song vibe that makes you feel something.

THE CREATIVE PROCESS

What is your creative process like?


Most of the time it starts with a beat. When I hear a beat that speaks to me, the song pretty much writes itself, usually starting with the chorus. Other times it begins with a poem that I play around with to find a melody that I like and then I try and find a beat that fits it later on.

What artist(s) would you like to collaborate with?


I actually have a list on my phone of dream collaborations. My number one was always Michael Jackson. As far as right now, I would LOVE to work with The Weeknd, Josh Levi, Chris Brown, Brent Faiyaz, Lucky Daye & the list goes on. If I’m honest, but we can leave it there for now (laughs).

What is one message you would give to your supporters?


Oh man, honestly, just thank you. Thank you for being here for the journey. It’s nowhere near as magical if I can’t share it with y’all. & always remember that life only goes one way and that’s forward, so always move forward with love.

Nyreisha

Be intentional with your words. Speak only truth and love and positivity. You control the tongue, you control the world.

Nyreisha’s best piece of advice

SHIFTING GEARS

What is the most talent/skill you have that most people don’t know about?

I am REALLY good at modeling Sims characters after real people (laughs). I’m kidding, but a talent I possess is I’m really good at doing accents from around the world!

What would you be doing right now if you weren’t doing music?


Two goals of mine outside of my music are to become a Licensed Music Therapist and a Licensed Master Esthetician. Lucky for me, all can be achieved while also pursuing my music career. There is nothing you can’t achieve when you believe in yourself.

Who are some artists/people you admire and why?


Honestly, I admire anyone who has a dream or a goal that they’re chasing after. It’s a challenge to let go of everything you know and let go of the fear and just believe you can and then do it!! Life is meant to be lived & the world is way too big to be stuck living in your head.

Nyreisha

WRAPPING IT UP

If you could change anything about the industry, what would it be?


I wish it would be more accessible to artists who actually have an overall passion for the music and not just to people who have a large following / fan base.

What’s next for you? Where would you like to see yourself in the next year?


I couldn’t tell you what’s next for me. I know that I’m grateful for the moment and I’m enjoying every bit of it. In the next year, I see myself sharing more of my songs all over the world and connecting to people through my music.

What is your social media? How can people get in contact with you?

My Instagram , TikTok , and X can all be found under @nyreisha__ (my name with two underscores)

Straight Official Sit Downs: Deadrick

Deadrick

DEADRICK is an emerging artist that linked up with our own @djspins for this new installment of Straight Official Sit Downs. The official online site of The Worldwide Fleet DJs, we get you up to speed with new talent from across the land. Check out their one-on-one down below and click here for more issues of Straight Official Sit Downs.

Q&A WITH DEADRICK

How Did You Come Up With Your Stage Name? Tell us where you’re from and what first got you interested in the entertainment industry?

My stage name is my first name. It’s a part of my branding as a songwriter/performing artist being my authentic self. Some people say Dead-Rick which has a ring to it but it’s pronounced (Deedrick) I go by either or it’s not too many people you can think of that have that name anyway so it make sense for me 

Who and/or what inspires you to create?

Lil Wayne and Childish Gambino are who inspire me to create initially but through the things that I’ve experienced in this lifetime as a man is what inspire me to create so much more on deep levels that I can’t even fathom completely 

How would you describe your sound?

Exciting yet chill, extremely catchy, sexy, soothing maybe euphoric. Those are the basics when I listen to my music but when I go into creating it’s all about the vibe of what I’m feeling what I’m going for based on the record and what I wanna put out.

THE CREATIVE PROCESS

What is your creative process like?

I listen to the beat or I create my chords and drums. And literally just freestyle or I just mumble words to catch a rhythm then once I got it I fill it the mumbles with words to tell a story or paint a picture. 

What artist(s) would you like to collaborate with?

I’d love to collaborate with Tyler the Creator, Doja Cat, Childish Gambino, Teezo Touchdown, Russ, Fuego Base he’s dope and starting to come up) & LIL WAYNE!! I wanna work with almost every one who makes music but those guys I definitely want to have a record with. 

If you could open a show for any artist who would it be?

I’d open for Doja Cat, Tyler the Creator, Brent Faiyaz & maybe Yachty if he went on tour. It’ll make sense due to the sound I have. 

Deadrick

Be your best authentic self. Don’t quit on your goals and keep going. Don’t take ‘no’ for an answer.

Deadrick’s message to his supporters

SHIFTING GEARS

What is the most useless talent you have?

In my opinion, I don’t think any talent is useless. I’d say I’m good at fighting, taekwondo boxing etc…

What would you be doing right now if you weren’t doing music?

Still serving in the United States Army and becoming a personal trainer on the side. I would teach courses and provide a nutrition guide based on human anatomy and body types.

Who are some artists you admire and why?

I admire the Wayne’s and the Donald Glovers and the Tyler the Creators and Brent Faiyaz’s.  They’re their most authentic selves when it comes to the branding and engaging with their audience. That’s how I wanna be because it shows they actually care for their audience like I do mine. I try my best to engage with every single last one of them ESPECIALLY when it comes to live performances. 

What is the best advice you’ve been given?

Be Relentless. Sometimes you have to have an unbelievably delusional amount of confidence to get where you are trying to go. After hearing those words those, besides my kids that’s been the only thing that’s keeping me going and wanting to conquer more. Because I deserve it. So I’m going to go after what I desire.

IN CONCLUSION

If you could change anything about the industry, what would it be?

Honestly I love the game. It ain’t fair but that’s what makes it so much more sweeter. It keeps me on my toes.  What I would change is knowledge that’s gatekept so artists can be more successful and get their business together.  Let’s stop the capitalistic system we have.  Other than that, it’s not that bad. Especially when you know how to navigate through.

Deadrick- Move

You dropped your latest release earlier this year. Tell us about it.

“Move” although it’s a song it’s actually apart of a playlist I put together. It tells a story about this incident when I hooked up with this super bad Georgia Peach. It didn’t work out like I thought it would and I feel like it didn’t work out well because I was so pushy and moving things to fast and not letting it be smooth and taking it slow.

I mean, yeah the sex was good but as a man you gotta bring more than just good sex to the table establish those high qualities. As a man if you trying to keep a woman that wants to be kept. But the whole story is  just going through the motion of meeting somebody. Y’all have a really good time and the situation dies out like majority of relationships you see today. “Hook-Up” culture don’t get me wrong some stuff can last for years but in the end everything dies out even if y’all are still in contact with another  And “Move” is the second chapter of it.  1st song is “Smoov Feelin” the beginning stage of meeting a women

2nd song “Move” the middle stage where you’re in the honey phase 

3rd song “Should’ve Took it Slow” the end where everything dies off and you experience your perspective of grief. 

What’s next for you? Where would you like to see yourself in the next year?

Build so much leverage that many wanna work with me on terms that equally benefit us both as businesses.  I have the resources now  I just gotta keep pressing this button and grow.
