Damilare Oduntan, or “Dami”, is an aspiring artist that has multiple talents and gifts. When he was twelve, that’s when everything started. First he learned how to play the saxophone, and ever since then the saxophone became his first love. It really inspired him to learn more instruments such as piano, a bit of drums, and also bass but he’s still willing to learn much more. Not only does he play many instruments but he also raps. He has great knowledge in the industry of music production. As you can tell, music plays a big role in his life and It’s an amazing way for him to express himself. Ryan Leslie has been one of his aspirations growing up. Leslie is extremely talented; while he plays keys, drums, and trumpets, he is also a vocalist. Dami is really motivated to be like him one day, following in the footsteps of Leslie’s lifestyle. In particular, from his early morning studio session to his late night sessions. His work ethic, and his originality amazes Dami till this day, and has always been something that stuck with Dami. Ryan Leslie always uses live instruments in the making of his music, and something he once said was, “if you can get it live then do it live.” Mr. Leslie will always be an inspiration to Dami, as he continues to aspire to succeed in life.
