I go by the name of Veno Da Don. AKA Mr. 500, AKA Hoe Dats Veno Aye.
What is your profession?
I’m a hip hop artist out of Indianapolis, Indiana.
How did you get into the field that you are in today?
My pops was a DJ so I was into making music at a very young age.
What do you love most about your profession?
What I love most about the art is touching the people in a positive way.
Tell us more about what you do?
Connecting with my fans to let ‘em know I’m just like them & anything is possible is what I do it for.
When did you discover that you had a passion for this field?
I recorded my first song when I was 10 & ever since then I haven’t looked back. I got about 7 projects out right now & will release another one pretty soon titled “Yeah Ok”. Once I started seeing the feedback & love I was getting off my music, that shit just turnt me up so I didn’t wanna let off the brake. I developed a passion the more I would write & record. I started off producing my own beats & engineering for myself. I stayed in my home studio everyday all day for years just to perfect my craft & sound. Came a long way from the basement & I ain’t nowhere finished.
Who in your field do you look up...
I look up to rappers like Nipsey Hussle, Meek Mill & G Herbo just to name a few. It’s people like that, that really motivate a young black man like me to keep hustling. They showed me that you can come from dirt & turn it into diamonds.
