Rising artist Diabloe, who calls Atlanta home, is making waves in the local music scene. Known for its vibrant musical culture, Atlanta has long been a breeding ground for talent and innovation, and Diabloe is no exception. He sees his city as not just a place full of creativity, but a hub that continuously sets trends, shaping the sound and direction of the industry. "We start the waves," he says of Atlanta's role in music, underscoring the area's influence on a national scale.
Diabloe has clear goals for his career: build a strong, loyal fanbase and achieve independent success. While many artists choose to partner with major labels early in their careers, Diabloe is determined to carve out his own path. By taking control of his music and business decisions, he aims to not only grow his career but also become a force that inspires others to follow a similar route. His ambition goes beyond personal success—he wants to reshape the music landscape and influence the next generation of artists.
A major theme in Diabloe’s vision for the industry is the promotion of ownership among musicians. He believes that artists should have greater control over their work and that the current culture surrounding record deals often overshadows the importance of self-ownership. "If I could change one thing in the music industry, it would be to promote more ownership for artists," he states, advocating for this to be pushed just as much as signing record deals. With this mission in mind, Diabloe is not only focused on making great music but also on making an impact that reaches far beyond his own career. He aims to shift the conversation in the industry, encouraging other artists to prioritize independence and ownership in their musical journeys. In doing so, Diabloe hopes to leave a lasting legacy—one that redefines success for future artists.
