Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Dusty Vinyl Design is owned and operated by Artist, Producer, Writer, Programmer and Musician Dusty Vinyl which was the nickname given to Devin B. by his close friend Jellbone of the Smoke Brothers for having an uinquenchable obsession with collecting old dust covered classic vinyl record covers and sampling loops for artistic and vocal inspiration.
Dustys desire for understanding music and music fans took him from the local suburban house parties in the Foothills of Route 66 to the Disco Biscuit backyard D.J. parties thrown from Covina Ca. to underground clubs in Los Angeles. From the suburbs of I.E, O.C and L.A. to the live Hip Hop parties and rhyme cyphers held in Venice Beach to the seedy Rock and Roll dive bars of L.A.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
As a musician I have had the cool opportunity to meet and perform on the same bill with acts such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stone Temple pilots, Incubus, Korn, Alien Ant Farm, Crazy Town, The Offspring, Pennywise, Mike D from Beastie Boys, Mix master Mike, Weezer, Kotton Mouth Kings, (HED) p.e.., Lit, Long Beach Dub All-stars, Lefty, SX10, Dial7, Weapon of choice, Rumble Fish and many more.
Your musical influences
My musical taste is very open to most styles such as Classic rock to Hip Hop, Electronica, Reggae, New Wave and Soul. I blend musical styles and influences in the projects I create.
Some artistic inspirations remain to be Sid and Marty Croft, Jim Henson, Ralph Bakshi, Prince Roger Nelson, Beatles, Beastie Boys, Bowie, Brown, Led Zeppelin, Frazetta and to many more to list here.
What equipment do you use?
Analog and digital instruments, Mixed media Art tools:
Dusty Vinyl Design original art is inspired by Pop culture, Saturday morning cartoons, Sci-Fi, Music, Film, After school specials, B Movies, 80s Movies, Tattoo and Street art. Devin has been an artist since the age of 7 and has loved the Muppets, Rank and Bass, The Hobbit, Dark Crystal, Sci Fi, Sesame Street and Saturday Cartoons with a passion.
Anything else?
I am a self trained artist that creates with a Do It Yourself can do attitude. I enjoy making simple parody designs as a fan of pop culture humor and the music that effects and inspires me to try new things.
"The most important thing to me is family and friends, I consider music to be both."
Blessings and Godspeed,
Devin B., aka Dusty Vinyl
