Hustle and Soul Magazine got an excusive interview with Preston Dent.
What inspired you to enter the entertainment industry?
Preston Dent: I was the kid in grade school writing the little girls poetry and love letters so I always knew I was a good writer! Once I found that my fallen father was a musician, singer in a group called 30 bandshells I decided to follow his dream! Even though I was in the streets I still went to school and played sports and dreamed to do something big in life! So once the street life became an obstacle the next best thing to a street guy was a rapper, so I jumped head in.
What do you enjoy most about the work that you do?
Preston Dent: I use to enjoy the gifts of fame, beautiful women, shiny cars, and everyone shook my hand when I walk through the club. Today, as a changed man my satisfaction is making my mom proud with everything that I do because she knows what I been through from start to finish! When I accomplish a goal and she tells me that she is proud of me, it gives me the inspiration to accomplish much more. A mother is powerful, a woman is God’s greatest creation and a proud mom is my favorite satisfaction!
What are some memorable moments in your career so far?
Preston Dent: I remember getting a promotional van with my record label and pictures all over it! I would go to any ghetto, any hood and park my van on the corner and start selling my CDs. We were literally stopping traffic, in the middle of the busiest streets walking up to random cars selling music.
When you first entered the industry, what impact did you intend to make?
Preston Dent: When I first entered the industry I wanted to be the first artist from Central Pennsylvania to make it in the industry!
What are you currently working on?
Preston Dent: I’m working on a screenplay for my book that I wrote called Claudette (Heart of Atlanta), a mixtape called Preston da hustler, my artist mixtapes, and throwing a first annual Central PA youth talent show!
What are you looking forward to within your career?
Preston Dent: I want to gain revenue off my products and help my artist do the same!
What do you want your legacy to look like?
Preston Dent: I want my legacy, my story to be the greatest story ever told! At the age of 13, I was shot in the lungs and died, having to be brought back to life! The doctor told me I wouldn’t be able to breathe, play sports and be happy if I live to see at the age of 35. Through the highs and lows, ups and downs, I’m still here earning respect for my early bird mob brand! I share my story and legacy for one purpose and that is to educate, and help someone that’s trying to wear and walk in the same shoes as me!
