Dumbfoundead's history + Knocksteady[edit]

I was wondering if anyone has any more in-depth knowledge regarding DFD's history that could be added to the page. One thing that would be great to know is how he came up with the name "Dumbfoundead"; I'm sure the answer is out there someone, maybe in an interview or something, but I haven't been able to find out.

I also think Knocksteady has grown big enough to the point where it deserves its own page, so I will be creating that soon and covering some of the positive things that KSLA has done, such as giving up-and-coming artists an opportunity to get their music out there. Please feel free to contribute to the page once it is up. Thank you. YogurtMeister (talk) 05:19, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

NPR[edit]

I heard about him on NPR. Maybe it's worth a mention that they aired a story about him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.4.189.194 (talk) 11:47, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Native Name vs Birth Name?[edit]

Would these not be the same thing???68.45.174.58 (talk) 20:52, 27 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

American[edit]

He was born in Argentina, smuggled to Mexico, and "settled" in LA and became American? I do not think he is old enough to be a settler. So how did he get to LA? How is he American?68.45.174.58 (talk) 21:05, 27 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Argentine vs American[edit]

Umm, the info table says he was born in Argentina, but the records still say he's American? I'll change that! MakesTheWikiBetter (talk) 15:33, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This article reads too much like a self-promoted biography[edit]

This article has multiple instances that are indicative of bias. The article just seems too much like a hype piece, for example having a whole section on his actions promoting charity during COVID, yet his actual work in this subject is seemingly only significant enough to be able to write a single sentence on the subject. FortheworstandthebestIamDavid (talk) 21:12, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I just removed the covid section; you're right that a single sentence isn't notable. I also toned down some claims and added citation neededs to some things. Otherwise idk the article is mostly fine imo; it mostly discusses the facts. He is a reasonably significant celebrity who's collaborated with big names. The wording isn't too over the top in most places toobigtokale (talk) 07:09, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
