Today we’d like to introduce you to Duante Miller ( Mixxedboy ).
It’s an honor to speak with you today. Why don’t you give us some details about you and your story. How did you get to where you are today?
I’m Duante Miller known by my artist name “ Mixxedboy “ born & raised in San Diego, CA. I learned music was going to be my walk of life at a very young age. Being raised by a single mother and living in a house hold where a lot of 90’s R&B & Hiphop was played made an impact on my sound today. My first record was recorded my freshman year in high school with two of my cousins which lead to starting a group called “ Y.A.F “ ( Young & Fitted ). This was the beginning of my musical journey. My cousins and I started to perform at quinceañeras and house parties. Making are group name well known at high schools was fun while it lasted, but I never stopped pursuing my music career. Even after some of my cousins stopped making music I kept going and got into several more groups years down the line until about 7 years ago I started to pursue my own career as a solo artist. Not only have I discovered my own sound but I also created my own genre of music with a very unique style of melodic rap that I use in most of my records.
I’m sure your success has not come easily. What challenges have you had to overcome along the way?
