Hailing from the outskirts of New Castle, Delaware, just a stone's throw from Philadelphia and a couple of hours from New York City, DréVirgo paints a picture of his hometown as a challenging environment for aspiring musicians. "It's not the easiest place to come up," he admits. "There aren't many people around here who are really into music, at least not the kind I make."
Describing the local music scene, DréVirgo identifies influences from the DMV area and a gritty Jersey-Philly Drill sound. He stands out among a sparse crowd of artists who share his unique musical approach. When discussing his ambitions in the music industry, DréVirgo's passion for collaboration and visual creativity shines through. "For me, creating music is about more than just the song," he explains. "I always envision the music video or the visual scene that accompanies it. I want my music to resonate across different platforms, reaching audiences far beyond the borders of the United States."
Turning his gaze to the broader music landscape, DréVirgo is candid about his observations. While he maintains respect for his peers, he voices concern about the industry's tendency to prioritize short-lived hits over long-term talent development. "I see it all the time on social media," he reflects. "There are so many talented people out there who could achieve so much more if they had the right opportunities." As DréVirgo continues to carve out his path in music, he remains focused on pushing boundaries creatively and navigating the challenges of an industry that often favors the mainstream over the innovative. With his sights set on global recognition, he represents a new wave of artists determined to make their mark on the world stage.
