Soufside Dre

Born De'Andre Shields-Walker, Dre grew up listening to Lil Wayne, Future, Chief Keef, Michael Jackson, and Lil Uzi Vert as his inspirations. He grew up surrounded by people in the scene & he always dreamed about getting started in the industry. The motivation Dre needed to focus on music was the comment made by now-manager JayBender, who told Dre that he had his own "swag" and uniqueness to his voice. Following this, he met and worked with artists Clayco & R2H. Dre released his first official album "Mr. Soufside" on June 17th, 2022. Prior to the drop, Dre's mother passed away, he became homeless, and he went through his first heartbreak. This motivated him for the project. His single "maDmaXX" scored his first breakthrough in the underground. Around Mr. Soufside's drop, Dre formed the collective Get Bands, which featured artists Pmoney & Yung Speed. Shortly after, he developed a new persona whom he named "Krashhh". This persona is an energetic, reckless-and aggressive alter ego. Krashhh's success could be observed in songs like "D3MN" and "Evel", and after this he began to put all his focus into his music.
