Up and comer LIL X DREAMER has been actively creating music since he was a kid. But over time, he has grown up and gone on to release a few single's, with new music in the works right now! No shows or touring just yet but it is in the pipeline for now and will happen someday. But now Lil X Dreamer himself discusses his time creating music and where it plans to go from here on out.
1. Please tell us about the history of your band and its members.
Well I've always been making music ever since I was a kid, but it was never really serious. There was one night I just felt in the mood to write music so I wrote my song titled "Alone". I literally recorded it that night and just had to sitting on my phone for like 6 months, and never really showed anybody. Well one day I ended up showing it to this girl I was talking to at the time. She told me that she loved it and that it was a shame that I hadn't produced it and that the world couldn't hear it, told me I should get serious about my music, so that's what I did. I think I ended up recording it with a professional mic and releasing it on soundcloud within like 3 days, and now it's streaming on all major platforms! Eventually I ended up writing more music, and more recently described to start taking it seriously haha. In the end I've always loved music and it's always been a passion of mine.
2. What’s the origin of the band’s name?
The name "lil X Dreamer" is actually a reference to my state of mind. There's a little bit of a story behind it. I used to run my own blog/music promotion service and the first band I ever interviewed was a group called "Attention Anyone" who I'm still friends with to this day. I actually got one of their lyrics tattooed on my arm, and it goes "we've all got dreams but I'm a dreamer". The quote always hit hard with me. I got the tattoo not only to remind me of my past accomplishments, but also to remind myself that I'm not someone who just has fantasies and forgets about them. I'm driven to chasing my dreams and making them happen.
To me being a dreamer not only means having dreams, but being driven and chasing your dreams, not losing hope in the things you believe in, no matter how dark things get. Staying strong and pushing forward until you watch your dreams become reality.
3. Where is the band based out of and what is your music scene like there? Are there any local bands you could recommend?
Actually from Putnam county Florida, and sadly there's not much of a music scene out here. I've built a little bit of a scene within my friends group, it actually I'm planning to do a few projects with my best friend, Chris!
Unfortunately none of the artists I know locally have anything released yet, but I'll keep you updated!
4. How would you describe your style?
Now that's an interesting question! I honestly have no idea haha!
I was inspired by a lot of rock bands like Linkin Park, 3 Days Grace, Bring Me The Horizon, Asking Alexandria, and a bunch of other bands like that.
But I've also got a lot of inspiration from artists like Machine Gun Kelly, or Lil Peep, Juice Wrld and XXXTENTACION.
My style kind of blends the two worlds, there's rapping there's screaming there's singing, but no matter what style I use it always captures the same emotion. The biggest review I've heard from my music about it flatters me is that people listen to it and they feel something. Which as an artist is the best thing I can really ask for. I guess that's honestly the goal of my music, is to capture my emotions with sound, and to give other people a glimpse into my world.
5. What have you released so far and what can someone expect from your works?
I've got three singles out right now, 'Alone', 'Send Help', and 'Dreamer Lost'. As to what you can expect, every song I've done has been a different style, I might scream, I might rap, I might even sing. The only thing you can really expect is that whatever I do, it's gonna come from the heart.
6. Do you have any new music in the works?
Actually I do I have about six songs in the works right now! I'm planning on releasing three of them later this month, so definitely keep your ear out for new music, and follow me on Facebook or subscribe to my channels if you want to get updated on new releases!
7. How about playing shows and touring, have anything planned out?
It's a dream of mine, and like I said earlier and then a few I always chase my dreams so it'll happen eventually. As for dates and everything I don't really have anything set up right now. But don't worry we'll get there!
8. What plans do you have for the future as a band?
Honestly, just keep chasing my dreams, following what I believe and pushing myself further every step of the way.
9. Where can we listen to your band and where can we buy your stuff?
I've got all my links on linktree! https://linktr.ee/Lil_X_Dreamer.
My music is currently available for purchase on Bandcamp and you can listen to it on all major platforms!
10. What is it you’d like a listener to remember the most when hearing your music for the first time?
That their not alone!
