We catch up with Dominican newcomer Dionni6x, a rising artist reppin’ Barahona and Brentwood. Raised by her abuela after her mom migrated to the States, Dionni shares what it was like growing up surrounded by love, tradition—and Romeo Santos playing in the background.

We talk about her journey to the U.S. where she first visited a McDonald's, hitting her first ever studio session after high school, and launching her music career during the pandemic, uploading raw freestyles and clips on social media that started getting attention.

She opens up about her abuela—an educator—getting emotional when she buzzed off her long hair, and not quite vibing with her choosing music over college. But Dionni’s all heart and hustle. 

Now, she’s working with heavyweights like Maffio and looking to to artists like El Alfa for career inspo.

From Barahona to the Studio, this is a story of Hustle, Heritage, and a love letter to RD.
