In this episode, we interview an upcoming and viral artist from Texas named Dende. Dende explains that his name is a reference to the Dragon Ball character and that he identifies with him as he is seen as an important, but overlooked character. He talks about how his upbringing in Houston has influenced his music career, in that it has made him more self-sufficient when it comes to throwing shows and creating music. He then discusses his influences, which range from John Legend, Smino, and Sava, and explains his favorite songs from each. Dende then talks about how he has been able to grow his fan base by using TikTok, and how it has allowed him to reach a more female-centric fan base. He reflects on his success and how it feels to become one of the faces of R&B. In conclusion, Dende gives credit to his team for helping him with his success and growth.

Dende is an R&B singer whose second album, 95 Civic, which is about the aftermath of his breakup with his fiancee will be released on March 8th. He explains that the album chronicles the different emotions he experienced before and after the break-up, from the lead-up to the crash in the relationship to the heartbreak and depression, and eventually to a realization point. He also talks about his inspirations and favorite artists, as well as his go-to pizza topping and his zodiac sign. Lastly, he talks about what he watches in his free time, which includes anime such as One Piece and My Hero Academia, as well as the video game Last of Us. He encourages people to check out High Card and Try Guns Stampede, as well as Bungo Straight Oaks and Buddy Daddy's.
