Meet Fenrir Clover

Today we’d like to introduce you to Fenrir Clover.

Hi Fenrir, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
My name is Dimitri Dunn but I go by Fenrir Clover.

I was born and raised in South Central California off of 94th and Vermont for those who don’t know. I was raised by the system. My family abandoned me when I was seven days old so I’ve bounced around from place to place and school to school. It was really hard maintaining relationships or feeling connected to anything.

Over time I felt overwhelmed and lost but then I stumbled across the music. And it changed my life before music. I couldn’t explain the feelings I felt. I didn’t know how to describe or articulate what it was that was going on with me, but then music happened, and I was able to paint pictures for people to see into my soul and into my heart. I was able to share a part of me that I didn’t think I could before.

I started off learning instruments, playing the piano, the drums, and guitar, but over time through all the constant bouncing around. I stop playing and ultimately forgot how

But I picked up writing and journaling daily, which turned into storytelling in the script, writing to writing lyrics about thoughts and feelings, and now I feel like I can create seasons of movies of experiences because I took the time to learn, and that’s my passion so I chose to become an artist because I enjoy telling stories I enjoy sharing parts of myself that’s hard to share outside of music

You know originally I was influenced a lot by Disney growing up and nickelodeon. There are two movies in particular that Spurred my growth and made me really choose to pursue being an artist, and that was rags, starring Keke Palmer and Max Snyder, and let it shine, also starring Tyler, James Williams, Coco Jones, and Trevor Jackson. I’ll always be eternal, grateful for the roles they played even if it was a made-up story to a kid that was impressionable and believed in things like that, as fairytales it made me believe that what I saw what I was harvesting what I was trying to create as possible.

And from there, I can’t say it was smooth sailing, but I think I finally found a path that felt right to me til this day I’ve been following that same path through the ups and downs, and still interested in pursuing music and writing stories and painting pictures for people to see.

I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
In detail part of the struggles, I faced with this journey was the inconsistency with relationships. You know I had to come to terms with the fact that I can’t control people and what they do if they’re determined to walk away, I have to allow them to do that people are going to make their own decisions and you have to accept that no matter how you feel or how much you want something to last It will only last as long as the other person feels the same way. And wants the same thing.

Another struggle I say I had was the lack of knowledge I felt was the best way for me to learn. It was hands-on, but for every person that I reached out to help or teach me and show me, they refused to teach me, so I always felt like I was lagging behind others and playing this game of catch-up it was so frustrating feeling like the dream I want so bad is so close yet I can’t do anything to get any closer it was an ever-growing conundrum. What do I do when in that situation I ran ragged trying to figure this out on my own asking questions and doing the best I can to make sense of the little pieces? I was getting from all different sources to finally put this picture in the frame to give me the knowledge I need to get to where I wanted to be.

Constantly going homeless and feeling like life is out of my control was hard I couldn’t focus on music always felt like I need to have a dollar but not caring enough to really want it I feel like money comes and goes. I don’t want money to be my forefront focus or priority I don’t want money to be the thing that drives me to make decisions. I don’t feel like that’s healthy. I don’t feel like that’s right for me. So I continue to wrestle with that issue for a long time, but I feel like now I’ve come to terms with everything and I found my middle ground.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
So I’m a recording artist who is also a songwriter and writes for other people and myself I think I’m very good at finding the words to describe a feeling no matter how serene it is healthy it might be I feel like I’m very good capturing matters of the heart I’m known for making relatable, music, content, inspirational words, I like to think I make music that is engraved on the heart to those who listen I’m most proud of my song called dream, although it’s not as sonically engineered as I probably would do right now I feel like it’s personally in an anthem that is one easy to groove true because of how it sounds, and two to any dreamer, no matter which field you’re in I feel like I partially made a modern anthem to connect the old and the new generation, and they can play this song and feel inspired to continue to pursue their dream. I’m proud of this song because I feel like it came from the right place. I’ve always been a dream chaser myself. I needed something to push me, someone, to tell me hey I’m with you and we can all dream and we can all chase this together.

I can say the thing that says me apart from other people is not feeling like I have to overcompensate for something. I don’t need to pretend like I am all this and I don’t need to pretend that I’m not enough I don’t feel the need to follow trends but not to the point where I feel like I’m too good for it, I feel like I know my lines I know my boundaries I know who I am. I know what I wanna do and I’m not gonna over or underdo anything you know I’m gonna do just what I need to do. I’m running my own race, I’m moving at my own pace I’m not in competition with anyone. I have no hatred of anyone, for the most part, honestly, I’m just focused on doing what I’m capable of doing that’s what sets me apart I’m comfortable with myself and the steps I’m taking at the pace I’m moving I’m just being me and only me and that’s all I ever want to be

Can you talk to us a bit about happiness and what makes you happy?
Music. Of course, but outside of music I love reading, I love authors that create stories that let me escape the world I love fantasy stories those are my favorite type of books anything by Rick Riordan or James Patterson. I love their books I can read for days and hours I can get lost in that

I love pizza I know it’s considered a comfort food but it brings me joy to have a succulent cheese bite you can’t go wrong with it

Traveling and seeing different places, I’ve never seen or experienced different cultures. It feels like I’ve been asleep my entire life and stepping out of California and seeing the rest of the world, my eyes open my horizon broadens and I’m shocked, but in a good way, and I feel like that adds more flavor to my person and my character and of course, when it comes back to music, it’ll give me a whole New World to draw.
