Dirty D is a self-taught saxophone player with unique artistic visions and genre-bending sensitivity. Dapped in the street-inspired hip hop and lo-fi jazz sensation, Dirty D’s music is meant to be something different.

The San Diego-based artist is a prolific composer who has been releasing music since 2020. With more than a handful of releases already as his back catalogs, the songwriter showcases his own creation of “chill hop.”

Standing in its own universe, “Dandelion Heart” is a special track that is almost hard to define. The jazz and hip-hop influences are weaved seamlessly into their musical expression. Like the heart of a dandelion under the sunshine, there's a natural glow of light and purity in his sound that is hard to pin down.

“Dandelion Heart” radiates in the soothing jazzy saxophone solo and blossoming synth. Soft, airy pads in the background dim the light, giving it a touch of a romantic atmosphere. Arpeggiated guitar riff joins into the melodic orchestra when the time is right. The supportive warmth from the instrument makes it a wonderful ear treat.
