http://welcome2cali.com/profilesName of Artist/Band and where are you from?
Dangerus Diva. Born and raised in the sunshine state, California!
How did you break into the music industry?
I wouldn’t consider it ‘breaking into the industry’ because music is more of a way of life for me. I breathe, eat and sleep Music, its in my DNA. Growing up I was surrounded by my mother and her extremely talented family of self taught musicians and singers. I started off singing in my swinger which led to my first solo in church at the tender age of two. Although music was and still is my passion, I full-filled my parents dream and put education first and now I feel its time to step into my musical greatness!

Any advice or lessons learned in the music industry that you would like to share with other indie artists?
Apply yourself! Don’t be lazy, educate yourself…Knowledge is power. You shouldn’t just expect to learn from somebody else’s words, we live in a technology age. Research and find out the true meaning of things for yourself even if it is coming from a source that you trust. Overall, you will have the confidence of knowing that whatever happens is a direct result of your own decision.
