C DOLL stopped by our headquarters this week to chop it up with @djspins. The vibe was indeed dope! Check out their one-on-one down below and click here to discover more emerging artists.
Q&A WITH C DOLL
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?
I really wanted the letter “C” to start my stage name off because my real name starts with a “C”. At the same time, i wanted “Doll” or “Bratz” with my name as well. It literally took me 2 seconds to say “I’m going with C Doll because CBratz sounds horrible”. I’m from Arkansas & I’ve been interested in the entertainment industry since I was small. I love music. It’s a way to cope with a lot and help express yourself as well.
Who and/or what inspires you to create?
Knowing I have the potential and it’s what I love to do.
How would you describe your sound?
I would describe my sound as catchy and aggressive.
THE CREATIVE PROCESS
What is your creative process like?
I’ll write an entire song before I even find a beat. I can literally write 3 songs at a time. For example, I can be writing to one song and be like “nah this verse sounds good for the song” and be back and forth song to song.
What artist(s) would you like to collaborate with?
Females: Latto & Lakeyah. Males: Big Homiie G & Luh Tyler.
If you could open a show for any artist who would it be?
Glorilla & Lil Baby
What is one message you would give to your supporters?
Thank you for being a source of inspiration and motivation.
SHIFTING GEARS
What is the most useless talent you have?
Most people wouldn’t know it, but I am pretty good at singing.
What would you be doing right now, if you weren’t doing music?
If I wasn’t pursuing a music career, I would be working in a field that matches my college degree.
Who are some artists you admire and why?
I admire Keyshia Cole. I admire her because she started off humble and confident with everything she did. Every song and video, you could literally feel everything she felt.
IN CONCLUSION
If you could change anything about the industry, what would it be?
I would change the “want to be competition”. I feel like everyone in the industry is up, no matter if they have 500,000 compared to your 1M, they still making progress and out there making it happen.
You Dropped Your Latest Release Earlier this Year, Tell’s Us About It.
My latest release is called “Meant Dat”. It’s really about me expressing how i feel about certain situations and coming right after saying I meant dat in certain parts of the song. Meant dat in other words means i’m saying I mean it/I’m standing on business.
What’s next for you, where would you like to see yourself in the next year?
Few more singles to drop, then album mode! In the next year, I would like to see myself listed number 1, 1M + more views/listeners on all platforms, doing features with artists i’ll like to collaborate with, and living it up!
