This week’s #followfriday is @musicaldyari a.k.a. Dy’Ari!

So I woke up this morning, smoked a cigarette and drank some coffee and I decided to check my GayMusicRevolution page. I knew I had some friend requests. There are some cool people on that site!!
I am constantly impressed and amazed with the amount of gay music talent coming out of New York City right now. The more I hear about great artists there, the more I keep thinking I want to move there! *ugh*! lol But I love Denver!! ANYWAY …
I stumbled upon an artist named Dy’Ari. I’m completely moved! This guy is a super-star in the making! His voice is gorgeous, his image is beautiful and his spirit is stunning!
As I attempt to write and describe my opinions on his videos and music, I become like a star-struck fan, speechless and searching; a deer-in-headlights! LOL I have no idea what to say, other than the fact that my boyfriend might get jealous and *I* might get myself into a world of trouble if I were to say anything more. <grin> So, perhaps what I’ll do is post the videos and let you think for yourself. What a concept!
This next one is *bound* to get your heart racing. I don’t care what your sexual orientation is!!! I lose my breath watching this! I can barely think about it! LOL Oh wait. I was supposed to let you guys think for yourselves. <ahem> Sorry.
I think this last video inspires me the most. For being so new to music, Dy’Ari sure has the right principles going into it. I feel a journey through music and general artistry is one of communication and learning. It’s about reaching out into your community (whatever community that might be) and touching people’s lives. It’s about making a difference in the world. 
::::motions to Dy’Ari as he reads this::::: …And listen! If I can find a way to get over this fan-crush, I would love to musically collaborate with you sometime, Dy’Ari!! If you want to sample my voice or write lyrics or do whatever, I am DOWN!
I asked him three questions:
JPS: What has your musical journey been like?
Dy’Ari: It has been one of a very short time. I started recording in October of 08′ and I did not debut myself really until the beginning part of the summer of 09′, so all of this is relatively still new to me. It has been tough and rewarding all at the same time, but it’s an experience that will never go unappreciated it. Inspiration is everywhere for me, in a movie title, to a couple holding hands, etc. My musical journey has just started, but I believe that it will have longevity, and I hope to bring the masses along with me on my journey and have them experience it all first hand just as I am doing.
JPS: Who inspires you to be great?
Dy’Ari: I am inspired to be great by the people of whom will hear my words, my story, my music and be touched by it. My music comes from my heart, but it is intended for the hearts of others.
JPS: What messages, if any, do you have for other people put there who think they may want to become a performing artist?
Dy’Ari: Never Compromise Your Individuality! There are times when things may come into question about what to do, what not to do, but at the end of the day, you are the one that has the vision and you are the only one that knows how to make it visible to the world. So, my advice is to stand fast in your talent, your hearts desire, and your vision. Don’t let anyone or anything challenge your ability to be GREAT!
So follow @musicaldyari ! Have a great weekend!
