His mom was a G for that. What parent is going to sell their business move to another city, and go work for someone else to support the dreams of a 15 year old with ni gaurantee it will even pay off?
This is a picture perfect story of DESTINY! Shout out to Mama for listening and supporting her child. Not everyone is made for school. Education comes in different forms. Wisdom comes from the wise.
Dallas Also In 1989 Worked With Us With Joyce Irby On Songs Like My Music, .My Love & I Will Always Love You...Troop Attitude. We Love U Dallas Austin Fam Fa'Life One Love Fa'Sho...
I remember this dude from college park ga back in the day.he was really cool dude.to all the people who are not from Atlanta who cant figure out how the city took over hip hop and why Atlanta artist don't beef with each other.here is the reason why EVERYONE KNOWS EACH OTHER AND WE ALL GREW UP TOGETHER.
Yes, she is legendary indeed. She also discovered Sammie. I'm completing her memoir now. It's called 'I'd Still Say Yes'. She goes in depth about her career, including her business relationship with Dallas. Mind blown.
I have been IN LOVE with Dallas and his musical endeavors since he was with Joyce... he literally does not have to do anything else the rest of his life because he has made his mark on the industry...
😁Right! I didn't hear him say Aisha was number one but it was definitely a hit record because I remember when I was a kid. And a hit record at 5 is a big deal to everyone but a 5 year old lol. They're still looking for Play-Doh at 5.😁
Funny you said that.back in the early 90s i think 92 i met malik and jamal by way of a neighbor that worked with dallas.at the time i was going to school with Chris kelly from kriss kross and after i informed them of that malik said we got something for their ass lol.
Very humble guy..When you have a dream and believe in yourself, stay focused and never give up..All i keep hearing is affirmation on top of affirmation. .This man knew what his life was gonna be early on..-Trusno #salute
@@DBMe33 Sermon's still active, hasn't gone anywhere. Dropped an album earlier this year, still producing. His solo career pretty much jumped off with the move to Atlanta both with his first solo album and the production work he did at Dallas Austin's D.A.R.P. studio in them early days.
Mom is a real one!! Even if he wouldn't have made it in the industry the thought of your mother giving up everything to help you achieve your dreams is a wonderful childhood memory. Real food to your soul!! You do not need money to be happy it's those little memories which fills you up with happiness!
Darn Really??? Where Do You Live??? I hate to be Nosey but My Sister and I were just talking about How Much We Miss those Bomb Dinner Rolls From Ryan's ...They closed ALL our Locations Here in Oklahoma!
I actually met his mom and brother, I was shooting a short film at my apartment, her granddaughter was in my film. I met Dallas downtown Atlanta walking down the sidewalk, very humble people.
100% agree. I bought their CD back in the day and I didn't know anyone else who bought it. Every once in a while, the songs "Ma Said" and "Lets Get Naked" still randomly pop into my head. "Yo DALLAS!"
Hello I was living in ATL back then when everything was a small project to the guys I now see made it to stardom n making the money as moguls now I can remember guys bringing their tapes mix tapes early day for us to listen to and just to think me telling them all that they were going to be real big in the music industry and I use to go to the same skating ring seeing y'all get down not realizing I was in the company of history being made even going to the wharehouse on Peachtree back in the day even freaknick man I still remember back in the day when I stayed on memorial drive before centennial park was built man those were the days peace
And she's still performing too. I learned that recently. I first heard her at 6 or 7. I had no idea of her name back then but remembered her face and the songs she led with Klymaxx. Mr. D.J. hit when I was 10. That was a banger. It still slaps!
Can't speak on what was in Atlanta if you weren't there in the time. Gets old to hear people who moved to Atlanta for music in highschool speaking on on how there was no scene and it was just a country town. Half the hoods in Cali used to be the Suburbs just like every other city.💯
We should have implemented a 2 year rule. If you don't succeed in 2 years take your butt back home. It kills me when people move here and then criticize my city and state. I can't tell you how many arguments I've had .😂
Atlanta always had a music scene. From SOS Band to Shy D and Kilo. I was in TN and didn't think much of them as a music scene until Bobby Brown , LA and Babyface, and Keith Sweatt moved there. These were well established artist and they chose ATL over LA and NYC. Then I knew something was up in Atlanta.
I got to meet “ Joyce “ Fenderella “ Irby when I was station in Fayetteville N. C and she was a damn good bass player when she was with the group Klymaxx.
i can Affirm his Observations of Stone Mountain #ATL #Eastside #growingUp...i can remember white guys pullin a .44 on us for walkin across his yard..that bordered the street...them rollin around in white pickup trucks after the football games, hoppin out on us, pullin a billy club when we went into that FoodMart in town after shootin hoops & more...
I changed my name to Aesha in Elementary school because of that song. For about two years I would sign all of my school work with Aesha. My parents had to attend meetings with teachers, and all. But because I was a good student, outgoing with lots of friends, they let it slide. Until one day my mother was like "No more, I gave you a name and Aesha ain't it." SMH LOL 😁
I moved to Atlanta in '89 in the hopes of becoming a member of his production team, but I couldn't secure the bag. This dude was difficult to reach (contact).
These are the humble beginnings that most fans don't know about. Most fans think that every record producer and artist were born with a silver spoon in they mouf.
There was a music scene in Atlanta as far as R&B goes Brick,Mother's Finest,SOS Band.....Bohannon....just to name a few Larry Blackman from Cameo saw where it was goin and set up shop there in 1981-1982.. creating his label"Atlanta Artists" There was the Ichiban record label as well.. Then LaFace set up shop there
“I told Dallas’ brother to destroy the keyboard! I knew that incident would set forth the chain of events necessary (Dallas wanting to got to ATL, his Mother wanting to go with, his Mother selling the restaurant) to get Dallas Austin to ATL and then to produce all the hits he produced!” I absolutely orchestrated the future and success of Dallas Austin!” THE T actually stands for THANOS!- T.K.

Talk about support his Mother sold her buiesness and became an worker when she was a BOSS to help her son...DAMN!!!!...BEST MOTHER IN THE WORLD!!..
It suuuuure paid off!

He doesnt...hes top 5 hands down in hip hop/rnb.
I only know about him because of the tlc movie
Agreed him, B. Cox, and jazzy Pha too

Dallas, Babyface and Darkchild back in the day were 🔥🔥🔥 producers.

Arie Fraiser I would move to another country to support my children.
I did for my kids...moved out of the country to give them a childhood to be clear of America’s crap & think free. Now they want to pursue business.
She really believed in her kid 💖
Definitely a good origin story, now when we hear a song dedicated to mothers we will think twice.
@@oddco5703 Where'd you move to?
I grew up with 3 of his cousins in College Park, Ga. They were and still are VERY proud of him. Great family!!!
This is a picture perfect story of DESTINY! Shout out to Mama for listening and supporting her child. Not everyone is made for school. Education comes in different forms. Wisdom comes from the wise.
God bless his mother. Truly a special one.
Marc Bryant I see you’re angry......I don’t argue with anyone. Stay blessed boo 😉
What does FAKE "god" have 2 do with Anything??!! 🤔 Where was "god" at when they had RATS oN the Floor??
Very underrated! His life story would be a nice movie
Frank Bridges Drumline is loosely based on his life.
Underrated producer in the 90s ATL R&B/HipHop sound....
The Boys.....who remembers Dial My Heart
I loved the boys!!! I loved Hakeem!
Yess I remember...their first song I heard from them was called “crazy” this is going way back 😂
Hell yea..."Crazy" "Thank you for the Funk", Hakeem was a beast at production.
Classic. They got an unsung episode.
The Boys were definitely the SHIT.
I literally just burst into tears when he mentioned how his mom sacrificed and followed him to Atl to pursue HIS dream! What a WONDERFUL Mom!!!
Praise God
Hel also founded Monica and wrote produced wrote majority of her Miss thang album.
Man, Dallas' mom and high school counselor are awesome. I think most conversations would turn out opposite.
KEN WINS That shit sounded like a scene in a Disney channel show that I would roll my eyes and suck my teeth at lol
I miss that real R&B now it's rappers singing every song 🙄
Legit,crap is whack
And singers trying to rap, along with athletes, actors, and every other person breathing seems like.
Dallas Also In 1989 Worked With Us With Joyce Irby On Songs Like My Music, .My Love & I Will Always Love You...Troop Attitude. We Love U Dallas Austin Fam Fa'Life One Love Fa'Sho...
That's right he did do yall's(TROOP) I'll alway's love you. A classic which y'all should've dropped a video for by the way just saying!!! ha.

For almost 50 he looks young, he must be happy doing what he was doing.
Joyce Irby is legendary and a dope bass player...I still rock KLYMAXX ...She also discovered Lioyd

I was just thinking the same thing. 😂😂
😂😂
Dude always been real brother about his family and music. Up and coming producers take notes.
Vlad really added the flashback of Jermaine Dupri saying "yeah....yeah" lol
This My 1st time hearing Dallas give an Interview. I hope he touches on ILLEGAL
Funny you said that.back in the early 90s i think 92 i met malik and jamal by way of a neighbor that worked with dallas.at the time i was going to school with Chris kelly from kriss kross and after i informed them of that malik said we got something for their ass lol.

Talk about going after what you want! I wish I had that drive at 14 15 sheesh peace to Mr. Austin 💪🏿🔥
The klan became police and judge doctor lawyer and president
Very true!
Became? ...they ALWAYS were.
They were always that, even before. But you are correct.
Kay You you got that right!!!!!
They always were especially in your beloved Democratic Party that’s who the KKK was all along and still is!
Dude is a legend that is not spoke about enuff. His name rings strong right along next to your favorite producers.
Shout out to that school counselor and all of us school counselors who support kids in reaching their goals and living prosperous lives!!
Wow! Joyce 'Fenderella' Irby's "Mr. DJ" was one of the first 'cassingles' I ever bought.
Great Mother....Great Son Props and Continued Blessings to both. I would like for this Brother to write a Book so much Great and Untapped Knowledge.
He makes it sound like it was so easy. Amazing.
Shoutout to all the momz out there holding it down and riding on faith..
The Boyz like the ones who did Dial my Heart and Crazy?!?!
I remember seeing his name on a track produced by him and Ms. Irby on TROOP's 2nd album
Wonder if he talks about how he helped Erick Sermon when he fled from New York to Atlanta after the home invasion at PMD's crib back in the day.
I was wondering the other day about whatever happened to Erick Sermon. Did he get of the business bc of that?
@@DBMe33 Sermon's still active, hasn't gone anywhere. Dropped an album earlier this year, still producing.

I love Dallas Austin's mother. She is the best.

Fun Fact, the movie ATL is about him and T-Boz. Always thought Babyface did The Boys songs though, that’s interesting.
LA and Babyface did a few tracks off first album,,,
Dial my heart.....Lucky Charm......A Little Romance
Dope to see producers who still have that "human" side to them easier to relate to the importance of their journey
Oh Joyce Irby. I remember her 😮from Klymaxx 😮
And she's still performing too. I learned that recently. I first heard her at 6 or 7. I had no idea of her name back then but remembered her face and the songs she led with Klymaxx. Mr. D.J. hit when I was 10. That was a banger. It still slaps!
For some reason he kind of reminds me of Dennis Rodman I guess by the way he talks lol
I can dig it
I can see it
Exactly
They gotta be from the same place
He use to dye his hair blond and wear long braids.
Humble dude.
Can't speak on what was in Atlanta if you weren't there in the time. Gets old to hear people who moved to Atlanta for music in highschool speaking on on how there was no scene and it was just a country town. Half the hoods in Cali used to be the Suburbs just like every other city.💯
