At 21, Michael Davis is already proving to be a future household name in the Chicago hip-hop scene. A rapper, producer, and entrepreneur, Davis is on course to dominate the industry in the near future. His raw rap talent, marshaled with exceptional music production skills, ranks him above other upcoming artists. Davis has gradually and steadily been claiming his spot in the music scene, and he is on the verge of breaking into the mainstream music industry. He is one of Chicago’s few hip-hop success stories and best understands what it takes to make it in the industry.
A passionate and hardworking artist, Davis shares one of the most inspirational stories in the music scene. He was born and raised in Chicago, where music is part of the fabric of the city. Davis has been engrossed in music since a young age, with hip-hop being the genre he’s found most appealing. He never seemed to get enough of it and would be on his feet anytime a hip-hop track played. The hip-hop beats alone reeled him in, and he found a lot of inspiration in their lyrics being based on real life.
Though it was evident Davis would end up in the music industry, his path to it was not smooth. His family was among the first to belittle his music ambitions. They were never part of his journey and only came on board after things started getting more serious. Davis has hustled his way through the highly competitive industry mostly by himself. He was the only person who believed in his dream and knew what he wanted to achieve.
Davis had to develop a thick skin and became relentless when it came to keeping his dream alive. Determination and dedication to his craft proved to be significant in the early stages. He had many reasons to give up on his music but still found the energy to keep going. He believes in pushing on and not allowing anyone to downplay your efforts. Instead, you should take their negativity as motivation to press harder. To Davis, it sometimes takes your lowest moments for you to unlock your full potential.
A simple appearance in a rap competition changed his fortunes and gave life to what seemed like a dying career. The judges were amazed by his exceptional talent and saw what his family and friends never did. They gave him much-needed self-belief in his music that opened the way for him in the industry.
To aspiring artists, Davis advises going after your dreams and not letting anyone tempt you to deviate from your path. You are the vision bearer and know your potential. Davis believes that no one will support your music dreams until you start making visible progress or make it. He compares it to a marathon race where it’s all about finding and employing the right strategies to carry you through. There will be barriers that will try to deny you entry into the industry, but you can triumph with the right mentality, hard work, and discipline.
For the future, Davis hopes to continue thrilling his fast-growing fanbase with more hits. He has spent the better part of a year writing and making exciting music that everyone will relate to and find easy to connect with.
To Davis, music is a powerful tool that artists should use to communicate and positively impact society.
