De’el Woods has always believed in the idea that the world becomes a better place when we start volunteering our time and money to those struggling. Whether it is in terms of money, time, or effort he always desired to help those in need. And as soon as De’el was capable enough to assist other people, he started doing so.
Here are 3 reasons shared by De’el that provokes him to empower struggling musicians:
- Lack of opportunity
The music industry has been a very competitive industry and as a result, not many artists get to prove their capabilities. Thus, De’el created his own record label, Better Than Amazing Records, which aims to provide a platform for musicians to work on their art. He believed that many amazing voices go unnoticed just because of the lack of opportunity. And many creative artists don't have enough connections or the financial strength to create new opportunities for them. Therefore, these struggling musicians have to wait for years before they can finally land a good opportunity. De’el noticed this issue in the industry because of his two cousins who were in the industry for 25 years combined. As a result, he worried that there might be many other talented artists like his cousins who aren’t able to get their work heard around the world. That being so, he decided to help as many musicians as he possibly can.
- Financial troubles
De’el was always a smart and high spirited individual. However, financial issues always let him down. As he was raised by a single mother, De’el was responsible for himself from a very young age. While in high school, he worked at a total of 5 jobs throughout his years there and sold clothes out of the trunk of his car to earn some extra cash. Even after starting his career as a network marketer, there came a point when he had to donate plasma for gas money and food. As a result, De’el knew the issues that tag along with poverty and he did not want other people to face them.
- The need to expose talent to the world
The need for good music is often underestimated in this society. People don't realize, but at some point or the other, we all are used to enjoying music. Thus, De’el wanted good music to be uncovered in front of the world. Initially, he wanted his family’s amazing voices and creativity to be known worldwide. However, after beginning to work as a writer and owner at his record label, De’el now wants to discover all the unexploited potential talent in the music industry.
