Jessica saw a bigger vision and established the business in August 2020. She established a platform discussing various Hip-Hop Artists from different eras who had a powerful impact on the culture. Music is a universal language. Thus, for Dalby, the platform is a place of solace, inclusivity, and never a right or wrong answer in music.
In September 2020, she launched her podcast on all music podcast platforms. Establishing the Diggie clothing brand was just another milestone in her journey. Beginning January 2021, Jessica envisioned even more. She established a lane to interview independent artists, multi-genre, at all peaks of their careers.
Jessica has now immersed herself in the entertainment industry. Despite her professional difficulties and personal challenges, she has remained a steady course building a thriving business.

From online marketing to artist interviews via a widespread geographic presence of video and audio, and a large-scale appearance, everything provided is returned two-fold.
As a Hispanic female coming into this industry, she encountered people that did not see her as an equal. Yet, the best feeling is allowing your work ethic, professionalism, and perseverance to be observed. This is exactly what Jessica did. Her work is a demonstration of the immense hours she puts into her business. Success comes with sacrifice. Dalby spent countless days gone from home and her family traveling for work, multiple meetings and/or phone calls daily, and consistently putting her all in everything she does in business. She does not place limitations on what her biggest accomplishment has been because she has accomplished a lot in a brief time.
As a business owner, Dalby understands that investing in your career and/or business is integral to your continued success.

Covid took a toll on employers, employees, and so much more. However, it also opened doors for many people to further their dreams. Dalby could do just that. She views herself overall as a businesswoman who is willing to take all the risks and reap the rewards. She possesses a diverse skill set that does not put her in a box. This has opened more doors for her than she ever imagined.

So many people are starting their very own business, and Dalby used that fact to push herself farther, faster, and harder. Dalby works well under pressure and that is another motivating factor for her. Her opinion is that you are your own best friend and worst enemy. Her biggest motivation is herself.
