DALLAS — Hip-Hop artist Milli Metoyer took a leap of faith moving to Texas for his music career.
Originally from a small town in Louisiana, Metoyer new very early on in his career that his sound was one that needed a a bigger audience.
“I started traveling and performing in Houston, went to different cities to see how people really liked me,” he said. “I was like OK, I’m not supposed to be in Alexandria.”
The Texas hip-hop scene inspired Metoyer to jump head first into his career, moving in with friends in Houston. He couch surfed from there with family and friends around the state before finally settling down in Dallas. Working a job that had nothing to do with music with little to his name, there were times when he doubted if he made the right decision. He said certain signs sent to him by a higher power helped ease that suspicion.
“I’d just meet strangers randomly and they’d be like no you’re in the perfect place, you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be,” he said. “When I finally accepted I’d stop hearing it, I was like cool, they had to keep telling me for me to get it.”
Soon everything began falling into place for Metoyer as he made a name for himself in the Dallas hip-hop scene. He writes and produces his own music, creates the vision for his own music videos and shares those talents with his inner circle of artists around the city. His first music video to the song “Wake Up,” a collaboration with Parisxart, was recently featured on Revolt TV.
This all comes as he’s recently taken another leap of faith, dumping his non-music job to focus solely on his craft. Metoyer said it’s all a part of his journey to the top.
“I would rather find something else and take a chance, take a risk, than be somewhere and not be happy,” he said.
Metoyer hopes these leaps land him a spot amongst the hottest artists in the game. He said his dream is to be the go-to guy for hit making in the industry.
“I want to be a cheat code for a lot of artists,” he said. “You want a good song ask me to help you write or produce or put me on there.”
