When did you start rapping/realize you wanted to become an artist?

I started writing at a young age. Before I was rapping, I used to write poems for the girls I liked in middle school. I was always looked at as a cool kid but I just wanted to be known for my words. So I used to write poems. It wasn’t until around 8th or 9th grade when I realized music was what I really wanted to pursue.

How would you describe your sound?

My sound is unique in my eyes. I feel like I can make a song for the radio that will still appeal to the true hip-hop heads out there. But if I had to classify it I would want it to be classified as soulful.

How’s the Milwaukee rap game?

The rap scene in Milwaukee is actually alive and well. We’ve made a lot of progress. The country may not remember but we had a face in the music industry a few years back. His name was Coo Coo Cal. He was on BET and everything. I’m trying to be the next up. With each mixtape I gain a stronger following based in Milwaukee which expands throughout the world. I’m hoping all this hard work pays off. Only time will tell.

There’s a lot of deep tracks on Past Due. Which one meant the most to you?

Past Due as a whole is very powerful to me. It captures different moments and experiences that I went through during the making of it. Each track is significant to me but my personal favorites are Money Trouble and Job Well Done. Those both are very meaningful. In Money Trouble, I talk about my right hand man who was recently incarcerated. He faces up to 75 years and it was all over money. That song is deeper than just a catchy hook and great instrumental to me. I shed tears writing that first verse. And Job Well Done is just my way of thanking my parents for making me who I am and allowing me to pursue my dreams. It’s deeper than rap.

What has been the most exciting moment of your career so far?

I’ve come a long way since I began rapping, so I’ve had many moments of joy but I would have to say the most exciting moment thus far was opening for Wiz Khalifa. Even though the show didn’t go how I planned it to, just to be performing in the same building with one of today’s most popular new artists was amazing. Also just watching my brother-from-another, G-Eazy, travel and perform his music is exciting for me. He inspires me.

Past Due just came out and is already a hit. What’s next for D. Bridge?

My next move is taking this show on the road. I’m trying to book as many shows as possible to spread my name throughout the country. As far as the music goes, my next project will be an ALBUM entitled “Virtuoso,” but there’s no telling when its going to drop. I plan on gaining more fans, or “Legendz,” as I call them, before releasing any more full length projects. A single here and there yes, but before I release a full project again, gaining fans and doing shows is a priority.  Hopefully things will work out in my favor.
