THE SONIC INSIDER

FULL INTERVIEW BELOW

Emerging from Austin, Texas, Dave De Le Garza—better known by his moniker DLG.—has quickly made a name for himself in the music world, establishing a signature sound in just five years. Seamlessly blending genres like future bass, hip-hop, jazz, indie pop, and beyond, DLG. has cultivated a distinctive and dynamic style that stands out in the modern music landscape.

What began as a solo bedroom project has transformed into a prominent indie presence, with DLG. earning comparisons to artists like Still Woozy, Mac Miller, and Glass Animals. His smooth vocals and inventive production techniques have won him a dedicated following and garnered attention from some of the most innovative voices in contemporary music.

A true collaborator at heart, DLG. has embraced the creative process, continuously pushing his boundaries in the studio and working with other talented artists to elevate his craft. His success isn’t just about the music—he’s also proven to be a savvy self-marketer, crafting engaging content and maintaining a steady stream of releases that keep fans coming back for more.

With tracks featured on popular Netflix and HBO shows, and over half a million monthly listeners on Spotify, DLG. is on a rapid rise. His latest EP, Characters, showcases his artistic evolution, and in 2025, he’ll be dropping his debut full-length album.

I had the opportunity to sit down with DLG. for an in-depth conversation about his journey, creative process, collaborations, and more. He’s not only a remarkably talented artist but also a genuine, down-to-earth individual with a bright future ahead. A class act.
