DOGSTA, OR DOGSTA THE PROBLEM, BEEN A FAN OF MUSIC SINCE A CHILD. GREW UP ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF HOUSTON, TX IN A SINGLE PARENT HOME UNTIL HIS EARLY TEEN YEARS. WHEN EVER HE HEARD MUSIC ON THE RADIO, HE WOULD RECITE IT WORD FOR WORD AS HE HEARD IT. FROM THERE ON, HE KNEW 1 DAY, HE’D BE DOING THE SAME THING HE HEARD THE MUSICIANS DOIN. ALTHOUGH HE’S A RAPPER, HE GREW UP LISTENIN TO ALL KINDS OF MUSIC. WHETHER IT WAS BLUES, COUNTRY, POP, A LITTLE JAZZ, R&B, GOSPEL, AND OF COURSE RAP/HIPHOP, HE FELL IN LOVE WITH RAP MUSIC AND PLANS TO PURSUE HIS DREAMS. 1 ARTIST IN PARTICULAR, SNOOP DOGGY DOGG, DOGSTA BECAME A HUGE FAN OF GROWIN UP. THATS WHERE THE NAME DOGSTA KIND OF CAME FROM. HE LOVES WRITING AND RECORDING IN THE STUDIO. HE DROPPED HIS 1ST MIXTAPE “MIXTAPE BEFO THA MIXTAPE-FEEL ME OR DEAL WIT ME” IN THE SUMMER OF 2008. HIS SECOND TITLED “FLAWLESS VICTORY” WHICH RECEIVED GREAT FEEDBACK WAS RELEASED IN APRIL 2010, AND “THE GIFTED REMIX FIXER UPPER” FOLLOWED IN AUGUST. CURRENTLY HE’S WORKING ON HIS DEBUT ALBUM, SO STAY TUNED FOR THE HOUSTON UNDERGROUND ARTIST WITH A MAJOR SOUND.
