The Floridian four-piece effectively utilizes their extensive training in a variety of musical backgrounds to produce a truly eclectic blend of infectious pop melodies, complex jazz progressions, and danceable funk grooves.

With experience playing music in jazz, funk, gospel and rock bands, singing in concert choirs, and freestyle rapping with friends around the Chicagoland area, D Truth delivers sincere, diverse music.

We got to speak with D Truth the Professional about his favorite holiday traditions, favorite holiday music, and upcoming projects.

So, let’s dive in:

What is your favorite holiday song and why?

Christmas Time Is Here, Instrumental Version Many Christmases as a young boy, I would go to my granny’s house and watch A Charlie Brown Christmas on VHS. Such a short and sweet movie, really made me think about the reason for the season as a child. As an adult, Christmas does not hit the same; this song always brings me back to the time when I did get presents, when we did decorate the house, when it snowed in Chicago (I don’t see much snow these days when I go back in visit). The vocal version is kinda meh because that children’s choir is very, very out of tune; I still love that version though. But I’ll take just the instrumental trio over it for sure.

What were the traditions around the holidays in your house growing up?

Eh, none really other than Christmas dinner where my Granny Doris would make mac and cheese that I devoured without fail.

If you could record your dream holiday duet with anyone dead or alive what would it be?

I would love to duet Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer with DMX. One of the best version of that song; I think it would be next level with some D Truth magic behind it. RIP DMX. What is the first holiday track you ever learned?

Pretty sure “Joy To The World” was in my intro piano book as a wee youngin. Alfred’s Adult Piano, Book One, Lesson One. Learned it in 1st grade.

What are you currently working on? What can you tell us about it?

Our upcoming 4th album, Necessity, got a grunge inspired band I’m recording with, no name on it yet. And a Silk Sonic tribute band.

Healthcare tit-for-tat & if you ever get a phone call requesting to explain, take it!

Let's go back in time a bit---okay.

Seed : RACE

& how a #1 rated hospital revealed their tactics that many industries use. It's just sooo different than being a #teacher where you're 100% held to account.

[risewisemind]

Today is Sunday, January 28th.

This is the space to share this & is a digital record since I'm certain that my computer will kaput & I'll lose everything I've documented since "squeeze" (screenshots) was the original "do something" when ptsd/chronic pain spiked (sharp uptick that comes with or without warning) instead of self-harm.

Those that explained their self-harm (all of them did it!) and since ptsd was 24/7/365 for ~3 years (probably more like 6, but I just got days of the week, numbers & time including "countdown" or IN-BETWEEN-TIME back. This is the most important one since it connects to "anticipation & dread" & the realization/acceptance that "even the good stuff hurts" (it reminds me with full on sensory ALL THE PEOPLE THAT ARE SUFFERING NEEDLESS due to insane greed, stigma/bullying & taking advantage of positions of power where those who SHOULD NOT BE DECIDING LIVES, get to).

This is the beginning of 100% sharing medical records to continue telling this story. Had to have 100% comfort with body, in body post-violence since medical is BODY & that's WEIGHT & the first indicator that something isn't right in this #1 rated hospital, just like this #1 rated school.

How do these ratings work?

If you're interested in following, I am finally comfortable sharing X pages--there are 6--and if you have one, you can definitely find them all. This statement puts away DBT of "catch the emotion, thought or behavior."

NEXT VIDEO : I'll explain that.

Words, Worlds & Reverse all Their Hurts (take em back!)

"Already lost in the thought

The world is the worse, I confess

It's a way for passion to light a new direction

Move along to new scenic skies with sun that breaks

Other emotions pop up!"

So now I’m using my voice so the phone will convert to text. I can say the word period. Like the word serious. Everything I am thinking is going to come up like a flow. These are the words there’s a basic words that you need to know. Return return. Period. So talking about trauma isn’t an easy thing for me. But I force myself to in order to teach it one day to you because I promised myself if I found out that they knew this being the parents teachers administration that they could get away with this because they were going to cover up something as a tag team and get rid of my evaluation stop : whoa. 

That’s it. One piece. There’s 1,000s and will post 10 pics in spaces, safe places, where I trust will remain in digital clouds, shout out loud, had no idea this exists. Rejoice is the word I’m trying to say—this is the political FRAME no BRAIN DRAIN, not sure of the word, so instead, I’ll explain, the need to pla,nt seeds, there’s a bunch , , , since that’s what we need. I’m writing my thoughts as they ebb as they flo’

This is what happens DURING (& AFTER) TRAUMA : everything politics & people being BOUGHT & SOLD. Trauma is an every day/hour/moment-by-moment, but it doesn’t have to be.

WAR is a buzz word...

The trump family is the MODEL for insane greed & TERRIBLE TREATMEMT OF FAMOLY. I mean, seriously, can you imagine the continuation of these people who give nothing to the ones MOST IN NEED. The wealth is one thing & then NEEDLESS/FRIVOLOUS SPENDING. I question anyone who is _____... yea. Fishy as fuck & now it IS OVER : think, say, tactility express & multi sensory approximately a bazillion times times : that’s space & too high. It’s really fucked up so let’s invest in people who are helping the people that ARE SUFFERING IN CRUDE WRETCHED ISOLATION & LONLINESS.

It’s money... so follow $$$...

Ew. Would you ever want to be near this amount of ICK 😢 : trump is 💩, it’s his words. Worthless 🖕

[risewisemind]

As the feelings RISE we are going to reWrite all that I despise. How hard could it be? Really...

To do what’s necessary.

WE’RE GETTING READY FOR A WAR BECAUSE PRIOR KNOWLEDGE WAS...

All around.

Take their words & burn it to the ground.

We’re moving without sound.

The NATIVE AMERICANS who decided the Earth is for Everyone is where we will be found.

Which side are you because WE KNOW THE RESULT OF INSANE GREED. It’s needless suffering!

[risewisemind]

DAY THREE

That’s “Conversations w my Father” because we talked a lot about what good at & what I really can’t DO, like ever.

Only one had to know so request for “separate accounts” makes more than enough sense, but also, the risk—if you marry someone with self-described issues w money due to women in his family & what they will do for “stability”—reminding them they’re bragging is really GROSS, when they just give up the façade & “go for it” let them go on & on & on...

That’s what insane greed is. They’ll do anything to not be cheap, right? All the while taking all the jokes of WHO PAYS—not in our house! No jokes there because you want equality, then make sure you demand it from self first.

What is a relationship exactly when you really get to design it exactly as you want it. The man said, “I don’t want to pay for sex” & why the reinforcement are their words so back-and-forth PUBLIC/PRIVATE.

We’re at a dinner & this one is very different. There’s a surprise at the end that only one person knows about & man, did it set up a baseline—when I saw it again—the behavior all makes sense since a parent’s job is to prepare their kids for kids, right? Two types of famiiliew because there was no talk of worth, just love & definitely knowing THAT CHILD IS WANTED.

I will not relive my ex#husband’s insecurity of “no one likes him” & cries that “everyone hates me” since it’s beyond #mentalillness. It literally is the tactic to avoid, well, anything 🤷🏻‍♀️

These images are just to preserve online & if they “pop-up” again then cool! If not, oh well & that’s how I teach myself/ignorant body to let it go. It’s okay not to remember & rely on trust in the moment, really! It meant to come back, it will ✌️

[risewisemind]

DAY TWO

Bitch. Night didn’t happen that way. That’s what they do. Just make it up so what are we learning? How abuse of power works since it’s easy to just make fun of “difference” & that’s why we have to be better at understanding bullies. Do we get the basics? Adults who discriminate against a protected class are bullies. Can we begin?
