This is part two of a special three-part mini-series with finalists from the 2020 Unsung: The Voices of Youth Justice competition. You'll hear the personal stories of students who found the inspiration to create award-winning music.
Andre and Dicac from Anchorage, Alaska, join this episode to discuss Rules to This, a top five song from the 2020 competition. “I’m pursuing the rapper side, and Andre is the producer,” says Dicac. They choose to make their music off impulse, finding themes that speak to their lives. In Rules to This, the songwriters begin with Rule #1, “Go get an education.” From there, opportunities have a way of opening up.
Education can come in all forms, from traditional learning to creative pursuits, but in the end, the songwriters recognize it takes a belief in self and hard work. “Music creates an ambition in you and creates a fire,” expresses Andre. It is that fire that can ignite interest in other educational interests. But it’s important not to repeat the same ones.”
