Dirk LP
Dirk L.P. has been doing it for a MINUTE! The Alabama native began at the age of 9, with a beat machine, a 4-track mixer and a serious passion for hip-hop music. With influences from every corner of the map, Dirk has become a well-rounded artist, producer and performer. Some of his accomplishments include (but are not limited to): a debut release in June of 2002 (Dirk:Valley of da Lost Hope) from a belly-up Texas-based distribution company, several editorials in major hip-hop periodicals (The Source Magazine: "Independents' Day" and "Off the Radar"; as well as XXL Magazine: "Show & Prove"), and opening shows for major label artists from the South (no name-dropping necessary!). Armed with a relentless grind and incomparable talent, Dirk L.P. is determined to take the industry by force. His follow-up release: Dirk L.P.-Round 2: the coming, is a record packed with bangers certain to turn the game around!

Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Absolutely...I love performing! I feed off the energy of a crowd!
I'm currently doing shows primarily in the Southeastern region. But, I'm open to performing just about ANYWHERE.
Your musical influences
I'm influenced by any and everything; by life experiences in general. I have favorite artists from every corner of the map, so I don't say I have East Coast, West Coast or Dirty South preferences. I like good, original music...Hip-Hop and R&B being what I listen to the most. But there's always a time, place or mood for blues, motown and gospel as well.
What equipment do you use?
I'm a music enthusiast...so, pretty much whatever I can get my hands on!
