#Motiv8Mondays – Dre Murro
Who are you?
I am Dre Murro! I’m an 23 year old R&B singer/songwriter from North Carolina. I make R&B music that you can dance to, cry to, and make love to. How did you start?
I began singing in the youth choir. My grandmother was the choir director. I’ve been singing ever since! As far as songwriting goes, that sprouted from my love of poetry which I noticed during English classes in elementary school. I took those poems and started turning them into my first songs. Over time, I’d say my pen game has improved a lot since those days of “Roses are red, Violets are blue…”
What is your genre/profession?
I’m an R&B singer & songwriter! I produce a little bit too, but I’m still honing that craft.
Who are your musical or artistic influences?
Marvin Gaye, D’Angelo, and David Ruffin.
What Motiv8s you?
Anything that “moves” me motivates me. That’s gotten me into trouble at times. I just feel like if it’s feels right, there’s nothing left to think about. Just do it!
Do you have any upcoming projects, shows, or appearances? What are your next steps?
I just released a new EP entitled #LetsTalkTOO! It’s the 2nd installment of me and producer BLK Assassin’s #LetsTalk series. Composed by BLK. Written by Me. Inspired by YOU. I say “inspired by you” because the stories I tell in my songs are relatable to EVERYONE. Whether I’m singing about love, a lit night out or just letting you know I’m feeling myself. lol We can all relate to those things! You can listen to #LetsTalkTOO now on Apple Music, TIDAL, Spotify & all other streaming services.
