Thanks to: Erikka for helping set up the interview, and of course, D Black for doing the interview.
For the new fans reading this, why don't you tell us a little about yourself?
My name is D Black, and I am a choreographer, teacher, and singer. I am working on writing my album.
How long have you been performing?
About 20 yrs. I started young.
Have you taken any dance or singing lessons?
Yes. I have trained in both, and still do.
If you could describe yourself in 3 words, what would they be?
Real, Caring, and Determined.
I understand you're a singer, dancer and choreographer. Which do you enjoy the most?
I enjoy them all, but they all give me satisfaction in different ways. I love to perform, whether it's dancing or singing for people, and I love to create and see the fruits of my labor.
Do you have a favorite style of dancing (ex.: ballet, jazz, hip-hop)?
I love hip-hop, because it's in my blood.
What is a normal day like for you?
Since I have my own studio, everything centers around getting that going. I am also working hard on up and coming artists.
You've worked with a lot of stars. Have you ever been star-struck?
Not yet. However, I still haven't met the people I look at as mentors or who I respect in the business.
If you could work with/choreograph any artist, who would it be, and why?
I would love to work with Michael Jackson and also B2K, because I know they would do my choreography the way I want to see it done.
What was it like to perform on the Jenny Jones show with Lil' J?
It was a high, because I was performing with and an amazing talent (Lil' J) and I was doing my choreography.
And last, but not least, if you could say anything to the fans reading this now, what would you say?
I wasn't aware I had people interested in me enough to be fans. I just hope that I can live up to their expectations. I want to at least make them smile and feel good with my voice, music, performance, or care in teaching. Share a bit of me, I guess. Stay with me.....D.
That's it! I hope you enjoyed the interview.
