Although the pandemic has been the worst event to hit internationally in decades, it is crazy how such a devastatingly traumatic phenomenon has spun off many reimagined opportunities. “The Cookout,” created by multi-award nominee artist, billboard charting mega-producer, drummer, keyboardist, visionary, social media influencer, and podcaster Davion Bottz (better known as D. Bottz), is one of those events, and the inaugural album will surely break the internet.
In 2021, D. Bottz developed an innovative platform designed especially for creatives and “up-in-coming artists.” “‘The Cookout’ was birthed from being on Clubhouse,” Bottz says. “Often questioned about my process, I took it right to the artists and musicians. I let them observe firsthand the process of creating (and dropping) a song from on-site award-winning writers, producers, engineers, singers, vocal coaches, mix & mastering experts, vocal production professionals, marketing, public relations executives, etc. The feedback from attendees was this (2) day (sold out) summit was life-changing. Therefore, my team and I thought it would be amazing to put together (and unleash) ‘The Cookout’ compilation album. This one-of-a-kind masterpiece will probably be a platinum seller, especially since there are artists included on this project already certified platinum on Billboard. In addition, I am confident ‘The Cookout’ album will shift the musical paradigm forever and blaze the trail for many independent artists for years to come.”
Bottz is Executive Producer on this groundbreaking project with additional production featuring Rothstein Beatz, Misfit Beats, and Diny_Made. This force assembled a powerful track listing introducing D. Bottz’s daughter Dayna, along with featured artist Tytanic, KD, Brittney Jaii, Perri Jones, Brendalynn, Smackwater, Crown, Corey Ronell, and Versakyle, to name a few.
