Dread-X

Dread-X is a rapper out of South Cali. Now nearly 10 years since he first picked up a pen and put it to paper, his style continues to evolve and adapt into something all his own. With influences from multiple genres and a sound all his own, he continues to create and promote his own music.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Dread-X has been making music for over 10 years now. Once under the name "Nightmare", he started as a producer before adopting rapping himself. After stints in-and-out of local Metal acts, he decided to focus on his Rap music and work as a solo-artist. Since that day, he's released 2 albums and gained a small following. As his writing and production method continues to evolve, he intends to fully support his music and continue to produce, write, and promote himself independantly.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I love to play live, but I only get to it occasionally. Definitely not as much as I'd like.

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Tech N9ne, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, NWA, Layne Staley, Kurt Cobain, The Black Dahlia Murder, Cradle of Filth, Slayer, Ludwig Van Beethoven
