Los Angeles-born Victorville-raised 15-year-old Gavin Westenberg “DesignerDownGav” started his road to success at the age of 12 by making beats in his room and freestyling with his friends for fun. He watched as his oldest brother transitioned from social media into becoming an artist, which motivated and drove <a href="spotify:artist:1ro75XgBi0IyKY8HXLfEpa" data-name="DesignerDownGav">DesignerDownGav</a> to become an even better producer. He taught himself how to make beats by watching Nick Mira beat tutorials and would experiment his own ideas on FL Studio. His music career first launched by producing tracks for many underground westcoast artists such as <a href="spotify:artist:4BIUYoJ8N6gCCYVKK0nfDN" data-name="MCM Raymond">MCM Raymond</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7BCzdg9R0InC8COslhyNrQ" data-name="KINGMOSTWANTED">KINGMOSTWANTED</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6tgTcp986D4mEyPAgA3LZ8" data-name="Thirty2">Thirty2</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:3fql8AQBGyngsDtHrYfBIk" data-name="Pumppfake">Pumppfake</a> . He stopped making beats, and transitioned into engineering to try and focus on himself to become an artist. He started on FL Studio and Audacity making a few songs with <a href="spotify:artist:2urobxol2zYHXOUJXDh8n4" data-name="Shady Moon">Shady Moon</a> for fun. His previous relationship encouraged and motivated him to do more/better. His on and off relationships with females give him a story to tell, a song to write, with true emotions behind the lyrics. His uniqueness and style is one-of-a-kind. Gavin is barely getting started in the rap world and he is on his way to prove himself as an elite artist.
