Experience The Authenticity Of Music In Dub Nall’s Latest Single ‘Sober Thoughts’

Dub Nall is an artist who is going on a journey, and the listeners are along for the ride. Sober Thoughts is his newest release, one that marks a notable shift in his style of music and brings the audience a new sound, one that is innovative for Dub Nall but also sounds deeply natural and effective. 

Sober Thoughts was born from the artist’s experience with different genres of music, especially from his love for freestyle rap, which he would perform as a younger musician, and country music, which is more of a new undertaking for Dub Nall. There is a deep love for these two styles, and this shows clearly in how effectively he presents this new single. It opens a new facet of the artist’s talent, one that fans are sure to enjoy and appreciate. 

Sober Thoughts is a reflective piece that considers how the artist perceives himself when under the effects of drugs and alcohol and how he is different without these effects. Through this song, he considers how it is that with substances, people make life’s lows lower and might turn the ups up to the extreme, how drugs and alcohol are something that seem helpful until they become the very thing dragging the person down.

Dub Nall describes himself as a regular guy who is trying to get good at music, at least good enough to enjoy his own sound. He is a relative newcomer to the indie music scene, but each track he releases shows clear signs of progress and has committed to becoming even better. He hopes to provide a journey that audiences will be thrilled to follow as he improves and makes better and better songs. His goal is to help at least one person who has faced hardship through his song rather than to become famous. 

Dub Nall has been very honest and genuine about his journey to becoming a better musician. He shares the ups and the downs, the ugly and the beautiful. He is still working to find the sound that best fits his personality and continues to innovate and discover. 

Dub Nall’s first recorded song was Teal Winter, which he recorded on a simple Android phone. Since then, he has made some amazing progress and continues to make more every day. The artist is highly authentic and shares with his listeners his journey as it happens without trying to put on a false front. It’s a fascinating path to becoming better and more professional, as each new track takes him higher than before. Each melody is memorable and showcases a new milestone, and listeners can feel invested in seeing this progress from something simple to something amazing. Dub Nall is far from being done with his growth.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Dub Nall. Here are excerpts from the interview.

Hi, It’s great to have you with us today! Please share your journey with our readers.

Hi, my music journey has been the best outlet for depression that I’ve ever come across. It has helped me find and create music that I would have never found without being on my musical path. This most recent leg of the journey has pushed me to play covers that I normally would never attempt. I have grown to be a little more open in sharing my music and not having expectations of people’s reactions (it’s not for everyone).

My music story is long and depressing, honestly. The short version, without all the messy details, is basically, I got cheated on, then she left me, and I became a single father. Pretty much stopped caring about everything in my life. And started playing my guitar.

I had a friend, a really close friend. Overdosed on fentanyl, and he didn’t make it. And that was the catalyst for me. Putting my music out publicly. I had, at that point, written some songs to my ex. Not to her necessarily, but like, I mean, they were written about her, and they were mine, And that was kind of my outlet on that. So I basically wrote them with no intention of publishing them, and the overdose situation kind of just struck a chord in me. That made me say that I’m doing it. I’m going all in, not for fame, not for money. Just because the experience was detrimental to my health mentally and physically. It was the first time that I had experienced somebody passing away, where it really gutted me. And the outlet that helped me was writing him a song and wanting other people to hear it, which probably saved me from following him. So, I started making my music. I just really got serious about music. And I’m still. I don’t care if it makes money. I don’t care if it blows up and becomes famous. I don’t care for the attention. What I care about is making something that I know helped me through something rough. I hope that it will help somebody else through something rough, also.

And that’s that’s pretty much my music story. I’ve played guitar since I was 11 years old. I’ve always played covers. I’ve never played for other people, per se. Other than at a small house party or for my family at a campfire. You know, the simple stuff. I’ve never really shown any of it, not that there’s much to show. It’s just a guy with a guitar yelling at a microphone, but yeah, that’s pretty much it, and that’s the gist of how I got to where I am. 

Please tell us about your latest single, Sober Thoughts.

Sober Thoughts is a complete style shift for me. It is also more natural for me. I used to freestyle rap when I was younger, and I was definitely better in that genre than I am at country-style music. But I love them both equally. And I think fans will appreciate the ability to play in both lanes. Sober Thoughts is a song about basically getting to know myself again without the substances and how the mind just gets scrambled with and without the drugs and alcohol. How the ups and downs of life drag us UP and DOWN, and then we mitigate it with drugs and alcohol and just cause the ups and downs to become higher and lower. We drown ourselves to save ourselves from drowning.

What are the strategies that helped you become successful in your journey? 

I don’t really have a strategy for success. I own a business, and my strategy with it was “NO PLAN B,” but I’m not trying to get rich off of music, so I guess my strategy is to put out music that I love and that has a personal connection to my soul and hope that it helps people. I hope that because of just one song. Just one person doesn’t have to suffer through the things I have. 

I guess as far as, for listeners to have a strategy for success, you have to invest your heart into anything you want to succeed in. There is mountain moving power in the heart. And then you have to have the courage and self-confidence to go at it balls to the wall no matter what people may think. If it was easy, EVERYONE would be doing it. Just be yourself, and don’t ever quit or give up. Remember (if you’re a guy), “Mama didn’t raise no bitch”…. that got me through a lot of rough days.

Fantastic! So tell us, how can people find out more about you?

Engaging with me on TikTok and YouTube would be a start. I ALWAYS respond to comments… so there’s a hint: if you want to know, just ask. You can also find me on Apple Music, Pandora, and Amazon Music as DubNall33.

Thank you so much for giving us your precious time! We wish you all the best for your journey ahead!
