Artist Spotlight | TrippyChidi

TrippyChidi doesn’t make music just to express himself. He makes it to survive.In this Artist Spotlight, the Oak Cliff artist opens up about using music as a “medkit” through his darkest moments—and as an outlet for people who don’t always feel heard. He breaks down the mix of dark plug, trap, ethereal sounds, pop and alternative rock behind his music, along with the inspiration behind Arkham and his upcoming project, Bruce Wayne.TrippyChidi also gets honest about losing momentum after his early success, working long days to fund his vision, rebuilding without chasing numbers and leaving old habits behind as he becomes a stronger artist and more balanced person.From the work ethic passed down by his Nigerian parents to the Spartan mentality that keeps him moving forward, this is a conversation about identity, discipline and continuing when quitting isn’t an option.His word is Survival.Artist Spotlight is part of Original Minds — an Intrisio podcast.Follow @intrisio and stream the full episode on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts.Content note: This episode includes an honest discussion of suicidal thoughts and mental health.
