Check Out Desiree Nerey-Davis’ Story

Today we’d like to introduce you to Desiree Nerey-Davis.

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I started out interning at Souldies Radio. It’s an online platform. I was always listening and learning. I got asked if I wanted to do the lunchtime show so the lead Radio manager could take his lunch. 4 to 5 months after that and I got asked if I’d like to host a show on their platform.

I took the opportunity and brainstormed and came up with the One solid Vibe Radio Show.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
There have been many obstacles and struggles but if you want something you have to keep striving. Doing it in your own time or at your own pace is a necessity and it’s a part of your journey. Sometimes the pressure of people and their expectations can be stressful. It’s important to do what makes you happy and take breaks when you need them to recharge so you can be great at what you bring to the world.

When working with people you try to adapt and then if you set boundaries or expectations from the jump it’s easier to work with people. Not everything is going to go as planned and that’s okay but if you don’t try you have nothing to lose. Not everyone is going to love what you do but it’s important to keep going because the right crowd will find you and want to follow what you do. One day or step at a time as long as you don’t quit on yourself.

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
As for One Solid Vibe Aka OSV.

I have been running this Radio show for about 4 1/2 years altogether but spaced out. Thank you to SouldiesRadio.com for sponsoring my show. My Husband has been on this journey with me and has put a lot of work into it as well. It’s about finding that unique music that fits with the program. If you listen to the show you’ll know it’s unique. I love to listen to hits that aren’t mainstream. Just because it’s not mainstream, that doesn’t mean you didn’t make it.

I hope to be known for the Online Radio Show in Reno that plays Reggae, Rap, Local/Non-Local Artists, and Hyphy music all in one. Including its Non censored music. A lot more goes into a show and making it hit than people think. It’s not just a playlist.

I’m honestly proud of my personality and my interviews. I truly try to make my interviews one of a kind. I think what sets me apart from others is that I’m real and a lot of people don’t know about me and that is 100% okay. I believe that you never stop building your resume.

As far as The One Solid Vibe Show, if I see it or think about it, I want it done that way. I don’t fold and If I can make it work I will. If it’s not what I want, it doesn’t happen. I like to keep it old school, be on time, and if you aren’t let someone know.

What were you like growing up?
Growing up I was extremely shy. I didn’t like talking and doing certain things gave me anxiety. I didn’t know what anxiety was as a kid. It was something you just dealt with and kept it moving. Some of my Elementary teachers thought I was mute so they went as far as putting me in ESL for a little. I would just talk so softly. I broke out of my shell when my mom made me do cheerleading for like 5 years while my brothers played football and wrestling.

My dad wanted me to wrestle with my brothers and I refused so I stuck with cheerleading. After year 4 I did Competition Cheerleading.

I have loved music since I can remember. I grew up listening to Mexican music in my father’s parents’ home. Especially on the weekends when it was time to clean. I would love to see my grandma Estela or my dad sing.

I remember my mom and dad always listening to music. When we got in the car my dad would blast rap music a lot of DMX or Warren G. We moved to my childhood home and when my mom cooked or cleaned the house she would listen to Oldies but goodies or 80s music. My mom and Aunt Cheri (Rest in peace to my aunt), would listen to Rock music or the famous footloose. I spent a lot of time with my mother’s mom. My Grandma Marsha listened to country music all the time until her grandchildren became teenagers. Friday or Saturday nights from 9 to 10 years old I’d dance to country music with my grandma in our living room with my mom and little brother.

As a Tween I would record Music videos on VHS. I never knew when we wouldn’t have cable again. From 11 to 12, I would stay in my room and write out the lyrics in my notebooks whether it be A RnB song or a Bone Thugs N Harmony song.

I would get a tape and record the radio station when it played the best hits. I sound old ha-ha. My older brother at that time would get the CDs and then I begged to get some. That’s when I was into Missy Elliot, Akon, David Banner, Mariah Carey, the Ying Yang Twins, and Bone Thugs In Harmony. My brother would get the non-censored Lil Jon & the Eastside Boys and Lil Scrappy and more.

I really grew out of my shell in 7th and 8th grade.  I always loved music and art.
