Strictly D.T drops new single titled “My Life”

Melbourne via Perth via Seattle artist Strictly D.T makes his entry on our site with his new single “My Life” which serves as his first release after a 2-year hiatus from music. The track sees him reflecting on life and the need to be self-reliant on his own resources and also talks about community building in the true sense. Over the soulful and punchy backdrop provided by New Zealand DJ and beatmaker Spell, Strictly D.T delivers a smooth performance underpinned by his evocative and reflective lyrics.

“My Life” is the first offering from an upcoming album tackling mental health, relationships, family politics, and much more.
