Unveiling 'She's in Parties': Destar Conteh's Story of Escape Alrighty, so, there's this new artist, Destar Conteh, who's just dropped a track called "She's in Parties." It's pretty heavy stuff, talking about people using parties and drugs to escape their problems. The song's got two different viewpoints - someone who cares and someone who's just there for the fun. Destar's got an interesting backstory. He didn't have much guidance growing up, so music became his thing. Started with heavy metal, then got into hip hop and R&B. You can hear a bit of The Weeknd's influence in his style. His music's got this sinking feeling to it - kinda dark, you know? He's juggling music with other stuff in his life, but he's really into telling stories through his songs. Sounds like he's got more singles coming and he's working on an EP too. Definitely one to watch. Listen to She's in Parties https://open.spotify.com/track/45Yg44K83HT4xOfFTYwGDc Follow Destar Conteh on Spotify Soundcloud Youtube Instagram What is your stage name? I go by the name Destar Conteh. Is there a story behind your stage name? I never really liked my full birth name so when I first started making music, me and my best friend came up with the name. Where do you find inspiration? I find inspiration in the experiences from my past and people I know. I tend to blend the stories together to create the narrative I want to portray. What was the role of music in the early years of your life? Growing up, I didn't have much guidance. I had to learn and experience a lot on my own and it made me feel alone. After a while I started to listening to music, mainly heavy metal since that's what I grew up round because my mom. Then I found hip hop and R&B and I started to kinda put myself into the lives of these artists I was listening to so that I didn't have to deal with my own life. Music was one of the main things that gave me an escape. Are you from a musical or artistic family? I'm not Who inspired you to be a part of the music industry? My friend. He had been making beats for a few years, releasing music and one day we just started talking about making music together since we both wanted to but didn't have the support on it. https://on.soundcloud.com/NZAqrxnN1DgTY7H7A How did you learn to sing/write/to play? I learned to sing in high school I was in choir for half a year and just ran with that. I didn't learn how to produce my own songs till a few months after I graduated school and that took me about 7 or 8 months to teach myself. What was the first concert that you ever went to and who did you see perform? First concert I ever went to was a Korn concert it was cool. How could you describe your music? I'd want to describe my music as sinking. I want the beat in combination with my vocals to give this feeling of dread in a way that reflects the lyrics and tone I want to set Describe your creative process. I don't really think I have one. I can go weeks without having any ideas or creativity till it randomly hits me usually late at night. What is your main inspiration? My main inspiration would be that darkness of some peoples life. The pain and struggles and the vices that help with those pain and struggles What musician do you admire most and why? A artist I find myself admiring the most would be The Weeknd. unlike other artists where I would put myself into their life, I felt like I was more so sharing experiences with him in a way as if we were noth talking about our pain and what helps. Did your style evolve since the beginning of your career? I would say my style did evolve and will continue to evolve for as long as I'm making music. I started out on typical hip hop beats not knowing exactly where I was going until I was able to find myself and my style. Who do you see as your main competitor? I don't really think about what can be competition at the moment. What are your interests outside of music? I really like movies. I love watching old horror movies on youtube and like new horror movies on netflix or something.

If it wasn't a music career, what would you be doing? I'd want a job in education but specifically somewhere in my community. Maybe even start a program for some of the's kids who's parents can't always be around to teach them what they need. What is the biggest problem you have encountered in the journey of music? My biggest problem I want to say is the balancing of life and music. At this time I still have to focus on jobs and life stuff but that moment when I finally get a leveled head and inspiration is what reminds me that I can't give up. If you could change one thing in the music industry, what would it be? Probably the appreciation. A lot of artists I think don't get enough appreciation when it comes to their accomplishments. https://open.spotify.com/artist/24UOlbEa48t7ZOJbiaIYEb Why did you choose this as the title of this project? I chose the title "She's in Parties" because I was telling the story of a girl who can't live without partying. What are your plans for the coming months? My plans coming up are to release about four more singles and then start working on my concept EP Do you have any artistic collaboration plans Right now, my artistic vision for my music is pretty solo right now but plans can change. What message would you like to give to your fans? I know everyone says this but I appreciate all my fans. Everyone who interacts with me on my social or in general, listens to my music, or even just acknowledges me, nothings too small.
