Today we’d like to introduce you to Segun Oguntona.
Segun, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
I’ve always liked to create things especially when it makes me happy. I grew up around Instruments which I felt was definitely the right direction. So because of that, I ended up attracting things that revolve around art. Which I feel has given me a lot of perspective In life.
Has it been a smooth road?
It has not been a smooth road I’ve had all sorts of discouragements. From lack of support to being new on the scene and just having to figure out how things work.
When I started to become a professional musician I got a eviction notice from my new place over bogus noise complaints. But innately I knew everything was going to be OK because the eviction letter came with a Jimi Hendrix stamp. I felt the universe was kinda playing a little joke on me. I still have that stamp. I felt like I couldn’t catch a break for the longest. This year I can say was the hardest year for me, but at the same time My team and I made some great things shake. You can’t go anywhere with a bad attitude.
Tell us more about the band.
My band’s name is Blu H3ron we’re an Experimental fusion band that Jumps between genres Trap Jazz Soul and West African influences. What I’m most proud of right now is our Salt Of The Earth EP. I feel what really separates us from others is really our dynamic and readiness to incorporate the unlikeliest elements.
Let’s touch on your thoughts about our city – what do you like the most and least?
I love that our city Is this huge tasty melting pot, That what you put in is what you get out. What I like the least about the city is when people don’t give back in our community. I love Dallas I always want to see it shine.
