When Queen Dream first clutched a controller at five years old, the seeds were sown for a future where her gaming prowess would inspire countless others. Fast-forward to today, and we're spinning her tale not just of her early NES days, but of her evolution into an artist, gamer, and DJ extraordinaire, whose mission is harmonizing the digital with the real, one pixelated adventure at a time. Our conversation with her is a vibrant tapestry of gaming anecdotes, heartfelt discussions on the importance of representation, and the unexpected journeys that unfold when content creators refuse to be boxed in by stereotypes.

Ever wondered how the energy of a live DJ set translates to the digital streams of game playthroughs? Queen Dream, straddling her dual personas as a DJ and a gaming maven, shares her experiences on melding the two worlds, offering a backstage pass into how the real-time reactions of a crowd have shaped her approach to building online communities. Her story is a powerful reminder that behind every avatar is a person striving to create spaces where respect and inclusion reign supreme—even when the trolls come knocking.

Speaker 1:

Welcome. Welcome back to another episode of uploaded and unfiltered. The podcast in which I, your host, remain, interviews another content creator. In regards to the journey thus far, tonight, as always, I have a special guest. I'm going to read their bio. Introduce them and get them started on this conversation. Bio introduce them and get them started on this conversation. Tonight's content creator is a gamer artist, dj, whose lifelong aspiration is to level up and unify on one life. With that, I'd like to introduce my guest for the evening, the one, the only, queen Dream. Welcome to the podcast. How are you doing tonight, hey?

Speaker 2:

Crypt. I am fantastically well. How are you, my friend?

Speaker 1:

I'm excellent. Today has been a good day. Everybody's getting their work done. We got here on time. The thing is recording. I can't complain.

Speaker 2:

Absolutely Don't you love it when us you know melanated folk are on time. It's a beautiful thing.

Speaker 1:

You know what, speaking of which I want to shout out everybody who's been on the podcast so far has been either before I got there or on time, like nobody's been late. Nobody, it's been dope. Y'all fuck all those rumors, don't believe them shits. Um, anyways, uh queen, I got. I got a serious question because, as you heard, I stumbled through your uh bio there a little bit it's so good because, like, as I was reading it beforehand, I was like what I think?

Speaker 1:

I know what that means, but I need to know. So if you can explain the part of your bio that says you want to unify on one life, okay is that, is that, yeah, that right, yeah, so.

Speaker 2:

I want to unify folk through gaming specifically, all in one life Meaning. Like you know, I don't want to press continue, I don't want to use up all my you know, my three lives, so to speak. I want to try to do it, all you know, with no hesitation. No, you know, no regrets, right, and just kind of like want to nail it.

Speaker 2:

all you know, with no hesitation, no, you know no regrets right and just kind of like want to nail it, like I don't want to um, second guess things and I'm a big believer that things happen for a reason. So I'm just trying to do it all. Before you know I transfer to the spirit world, so to speak.

Speaker 1:

All right, no, I hear you. That's what I figured. I figured that and I was like man. Let me make sure that I'm reading this correctly. All right, that makes sense. Cool, cool, cool. Well, with that, I definitely like the aspect of trying to unify everybody I think gaming in general but, like us content creators, we have that power to do that yes and you recognizing that is awesome.

Speaker 2:

I wish more would recognize that, but it is what it is yeah, yeah, you know like it's when you interact with different folk and kind of like step outside your comfort zone, uh, you realize, even with folks that you may not think you have things in common with you have, is just like we're all like fighting the same fight, like you don't even know it, like you know exactly and like, like you said, the more we talk, the more we realize that we're like oh, you go through that shit too, yeah, or this is how I got through that x, y and z talk more.

Speaker 1:

I was just like just talking to my wife about I'm about to go to a training for helping people get through their stuckness and I was like I am a certain way and the people in that space are usually a certain type of way Okay, and I was talking to my wife. I was like I'm trying to navigate, not going in thinking, oh, this is going to be the worst shit ever Because these people think this and they think this. I gotta just like go in, not blind, but like accepting me, like all right, I'm gonna get something out of this that's gonna be beneficial that I've not, that I didn't even think about. So I need to go in with that mindset.

Speaker 2:

And I think that goes the same with like collabing with, uh, different creators or just jumping into communities in general and I like how you said that I think that was an eloquent way to say it like accepting, like you go into something, accepting that you don't have control over what anybody else says or does or responds. You just, you know, accept that and sometimes it's so easy to move forward because you know when you have preconceived like thoughts, or you know when you think with prejudice, like you have this expectation and these standards that some, a lot of the times, probably won't align with what you're going to encounter, and then that's when conflict starts.

Speaker 1:

So like, you know, so it's like three minutes in and she's already dropping gems stop don't, don't gas me, come on, man, I'm serious like I swear to god, I'll get my wife on here and be like, yeah, he says shit like that all the time, like I promise you. All right, let me focus. Man, I'm getting too excited. What part are we? Oh, yeah, backstory. I need your origin story queen. All right, cool. How did you get started in content creation?

Speaker 2:

So this was, I want to say, like at the cusp of the pandemic. So I've been a gamer all my life, like all my life, literally from five years old, was when I'm revealing my age, but I don't care, I've come to the realization I am old. I got my first NES at the age of five, I still remember my fifth Christmas, like yesterday.

Speaker 2:

So I've been gaming since five years old and you know really fairly good at it. I will attend like local competitions and stuff like that. Never really like took it like too too serious. But my thrill was when people would see me they don't see gamer for whatever reason. And then once I get on the, you know, the control is like oh shit, like she's really a gamer.

Speaker 1:

You know.

Speaker 2:

so that was always my thrill. So fast forward, I would attend events linking up with other like minded folks. And then I met, you know, my better half, and he's one of the people that kind of like told me like yo, you're playing games, like why don't you stream or why don't you like you? Know, do something with that shit. Like you just play the game like, and on hours on end. Like you should do something like do something more like you know, content creation and stuff like that.

Speaker 2:

So, um, at first I was a little reluctant, but then it's something that I kept hearing from different people too, so I'm like, all right, maybe folks are seeing something I don't necessarily see yet. So, like at the start of the pandemic, which we were kind of all in our like bubbles and I felt like, you know it was a good way to, you know, basically be outside without being outside, kind of thing.

Speaker 2:

Um so I started then and I think I'm approaching four years in streaming this October. So, yeah, and I'm, I'm excited, I love every second of it. It's, it's amazing, you know, it's I don't. It doesn't feel like a job to me. It feels like doing something that I really, really enjoy and yeah yeah that's dope.

Speaker 1:

Uh, I want to circle back on competitions. Uh, what were you competing in?

Speaker 2:

mostly fighting games. I am yes, I am a proud member of the fgc, so you would? I would, uh, play a lot of motor combat, street fighter, um, those were like the two main competitions. I would jump into um and, like my local game stop would be hosting it, or I would convince my local game stop.

Speaker 1:

Hey y'all should have a tournament.

Speaker 2:

Right, and you know pretty much like in person. I never really did the online competing thing. It's just something about in person. It's just to me is so much like, it's so much better, like you get to vibe with people.

Speaker 1:

I'm a big like energy absorber, so like I like to feel the energy and the excitement and that all like plays a part in my performance, at least so like yeah, hell, yeah, that's dope, all right, all right, cool, cool, all right. So the next session we're going to jump into is your current mindset, and this is where I ask my guests how they feel about their current output, the current landscape of just content creation in general. And, if you want to touch on it, what do you see yourself moving towards in the future?

Speaker 2:

OK, cool, my current mindset I'm just in straight grind mode, like I'm just trying to, you know, produce a lot of content, quality content, get better, grow. I love to vibe with my community, so a lot of that is getting like feedback from them or, like you know, they'll pitch me some ideas like, hey, I think you should do this or you know how, about trying this? So I'm open to that and I love connecting with folks on that level. So that's where my mindset is now. As far as my content creation, where I would like to be, oh, I'm all over the place and that's probably the Gemini in me Like I can't sit still.

Speaker 2:

I can't just focus on one thing I definitely want to host a lot of my own competitions. I Royale all types of different games and just get like that competitive spirit in the most positive way as possible, because you know us competitors can get toxic. It is what it is, but you know, like as long as at the end of the day, like we're able to like dap it up and not try to like beat each other up, we're good like you know, yeah exactly, I've seen some shit.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, exactly exactly and you know, as far as the future, like you know, of course I want it to be lucrative, I want it to um, I want to just kind of expand and grow and reach as many people as I can I think it's dope that you set up the, was it?

Speaker 1:

respect the game, respect the game yes. That's dope.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, I'm, like you know, I kind of um been a little bit on a hiatus because, you know, I'm like juggling so many things at one time, so like sometimes it gets a a little a little overwhelming doing so much, but, um, of course, it's not something that I'm abandoning and it's something that I want to go full throttle with.

Speaker 1:

So you know, right, all right, cool, cool. I'm gonna be hitting you up in six months. What's up with those? Uh, what's up with them?

Speaker 2:

tournaments yeah, I love it and.

Speaker 1:

I know you're preparing for a tournament too.

Speaker 2:

I'm excited, I'm so excited and I, yeah, I'm excited.

Speaker 1:

I'm doing it as a CEO in Daytona. I did it two years ago I thought it was last year, but it was two years ago. I played a king of fighters, mostly because I just wanted to go and like experience it as a competitor. I've been just to watch and that shit's fun as hell. And so I was like you know what? I play a little bit of kof. I don't play kof. I got my ass kicked, oh, and two destroyed. Like it was not, it was, I had fun. But one of my stream, one of the games, was streamed on their page on twitch and, of course, the homies were clowning me. They were like yo, what happened? I'm like, hey, man, I don't play this shit, I play one character. You need to have three characters?

Speaker 2:

oh, absolutely anyways, yeah, I love kof sometimes, you know yeah I think we just got hit with just like an onslaught of fighting games like I feel like it was just one fighting game after one fighting game and it's like sometimes I forget. Like KOF just dropped, like last year, like what? And I forget, I have it.

Speaker 1:

And then guilty gear Right yeah.

Speaker 2:

Oh man, we got hit with so much Mortal Kombat. I literally DNF duel. I forget I own that game.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, yo, whatever tech in right now is owning my fighting game life. Yes, everybody else has to take it back.

Speaker 2:

See, I'm sorry yes, I even tried um going back to um mk1. I know ermac I was. That was the character I was the most excited about. I was like, all right, ermac is here. This is going to be my way back in mk what happened no, no and this is tekken's fault.

Speaker 2:

I'm sorry yeah, it is because tekken is so like, like fast paced, and you know like brawling, you know. And yes, I went on mk1. I was like is it the game or is it the character? Everything is like molasses. What is going on? Like it is so slow. Like what am I like? I feel, like I'm learning the game all over again.

Speaker 1:

It's I refuse. I I bought that game when it came out mortal kombat one because I, if anything, I'll play them the story because they're always waiting. I didn't even play the story. I don't know what happened. Like it's just. I think the pace of the game is just not, it's not there. And soon as Tekken came out I'm not even a Tekken dude Like this is like my very first second that I'm like, given this amount of time to OK so.

Speaker 1:

I was like, oh, I'll play Tekken. And the first 10 minutes blew me away. I was like, oh, fuck, I'm done. Here I am, I'm that guy. Now I'm the Tekken guy Right right. They did a good job. They did a great job.

Speaker 2:

There's some things that they didn't do a good job with.

Speaker 1:

Yes, like the online lobbies.

Speaker 2:

They still even with. I mean, it's better than seven. Seven it was. Oh yeah, yeah, I forgot about.

Speaker 1:

Okay, you're right, you're right. Oh my gosh, comparing the two. Yeah, they did a great job. Seven was a nightmare online.

Speaker 2:

Yes, yes, it was but they improved a little with that.

Speaker 1:

Still, of course, you know, and it's still fairly new, so I'm gonna give them a little, a little like slap with that, like okay that's true but that battle pass, that fighting pass or whatever that is, it needs not to exist, like exactly you know, like I didn't look at it, I'm assuming it's mostly cosmetics and stuff and I'm like I see what you're doing here. I see they saw all the tiktoks and the people who, like I made mario, I made luigi, I made batman and like that's just another reason why that game is amazing.

Speaker 2:

Yes, but now if they start charging for the costume, like the extra shit, they doing too much they're doing way too much and like at least give us some like, x, like if like go to extra mile, give us some like I don't know some skins that's glowing and moving or something I don't know, some skins that's glowing and moving or something I don't know like something completely different, not just here's a hat right, right here's a gi but this time you're the women characters, career and it's gold.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah I saw that I was like are you serious? Were you splitting them up like that? Now, y'all couldn't think it anyways oh, I digress yes, yes, um, you know what we didn't do it. I'm gonna go ahead and touch on it right now. Uh, queen, where did your screen name come from? How did you come up with queen dream?

Speaker 2:

all right, so it was fairly easy. It was one of those things that, um, I put way too much thought into to only turn around to it to be like so simple. So Dream is my actual middle name, like that's my legit on my birth certificate, middle name, thank you.

Speaker 2:

And at the time I was looking for a DJ name and I was like you know what, why not have it be universal? So my DJ name is DJ Queen Dream, and then now for the gamers, you know, just so I can kind of like separate, I feel like I needed to is a different life, so to speak like the dj life and now my gaming life. So I just added bad gal to it and you know I rihanna definitely inspired that. I'm not even going of course.

Speaker 1:

So I was like okay, like bad gal riri, i'ma be queen dream, bad gal.

Speaker 2:

I'm gonna just do the reverse thing, and that's pretty much how it was all right yeah yeah that almost slipped my mind, that you was a dj.

Speaker 1:

I was about to say did your dj? Did you go into streaming? Were you at nervous at all? Because I figure, if you dj, you're in front of people, right like yes, yes, yes what did? Can you talk to? Like both of them? Like, what does that feel like as far as being in front of people? It's streaming versus dj um, it is.

Speaker 2:

Is there is a difference?

Speaker 2:

but, not, not really a difference, so I think djing makes my streaming easier, if that makes sense, like yeah, it makes it very much easier, because I mean, even though I'm in front of a camera and no lord knows how many folks are viewing me, um, at the time, but, like when I'm in person, there's so many people um viewing me, so like I'm used to that in that retrospect, so like the just my creative life kind of set me up to where, like just being in front of people, I'm not uncomfortable at all. So, um, I think that's pretty much that. The difference is, though, like, what makes it easier with djing is is you get a sense of like reading the room, and if people are really feeling your vibe or whatever it is that you're?

Speaker 2:

doing like. You'll see the head nod. You'll see the eye contact. You'll see, like the oh, like you get. You know all of that, but you don't get that in streaming you'll get comments and stuff like that. But you don't get that in streaming.

Speaker 1:

That's the difference first my brain went oh shit. But like, if I'm fucking up, they can give me that energy back too.

Speaker 1:

But then I was like no but like, while you're like, that energy did you get when you're doing, you, when you're doing? Well, you don't get that when you're streaming, because it's like, oh, I see, I see words, but they smiling, they laughing, but all right, I never thought about that. That's crazy. Well, I learned something new today. Speaking of learning stuff this is a segue Lessons learned. What lesson have boundaries? As much as you want to provide a safe space for people.

Speaker 2:

sometimes you need structure, because when you don't have structure, things just go awry and sometimes things that you may not represent or things that you may not be, you know, aligned with kind of like, seeps through. So like a perfect example of that, you know, I know at certain times I got to have a private chat and discord. Like for a long time I've just had it open, anybody could just jump in and we just, you know, chop it up. But I've learned now, like whoa, I can't just have anybody coming in discord. They start saying something wild and it's like whoa, and I don't want to make people feel uncomfortable whether they're viewing or, uh, make people feel uncomfortable around me because they're saying something that I might not necessarily agree with. And I don't want to get in like big on T-Mole, like oh, got to check in, like that's embarrassing, you know.

Speaker 1:

So I don't want to do that so.

Speaker 2:

I've definitely learned that like establishing like boundaries and structure, I think it's kind of underrated when it comes to content creation. I'll admit like I am somewhat of a lazy content creator, to be honest, like I know, like folks. That's why I respect folks of your caliber, krip, because it's like y'all edit, y'all take the time, like, y'all comb through things, like nah, I'm just like, oh, this is when it, this is when this is. Yeah, hey, I will get there, I promise at some point.

Speaker 2:

I will get there with the editing, but right now I'm just like, I'm not like attention span like gone.

Speaker 1:

That's funny. I'm gonna say, uh, I hope people don't. I was gonna say don't get hung up on the editing too much, because I've seen what used to upset me is I would see somebody put something up. It was raw. They just I cut something from stream. It was hilarious as hell. But there was no editing, there was no the audio's, all fuck. But it was entertaining and people dug it, and even me. I was like yo, that's dope. I wish I could just it's. I don't. I don't know what the magic formula is, is editing to natural? But I think focusing on what you want your content to feel like I think is the most important part. Absolutely, you don't have to edit for that, right?

Speaker 2:

right, there's the authenticity in rawness, but sometimes it gets a little too raw. You're like whoa.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I'm like, hey man, it gets a little too raw. You're like, yeah, I'm like, hey man, you should like bleep that out, cut that part. What are you?

Speaker 2:

doing man, oh, exactly that's funny.

Speaker 1:

So if I was a new content creator, new to streaming, and I came, I was in your chat and I was like queen, do you have any advice for me? In regards to like, how do I start? Or I've, I've already started, what's next? Like what type of advice? If somebody came up to you and was like give me some advice please, what would you give them?

Speaker 2:

The first. The first thing I'd say is be confident and be yourself. And you got to trust yourself Because it's not easy one and it's not like success, it's really the embodiment of success. Does not happen overnight. Like you really got to figure out if this is something that you want to do and you got to put the time and work into it. And don't get discouraged if you go live and all you see is three people viewing you. Like you got to push through that. You got to perform for three people. You like you gotta push through that. You gotta perform for three people not perform, so to speak, but you gotta show up exactly three people, like you do for 300 like it.

Speaker 2:

The numbers should not matter to you because they will come. If you know, people respect authenticity, people respect um consistency and they'll see what you're trying to do and they'll gravitate towards that and want to genuinely support that. So that's my advice love it.

Speaker 1:

I 100 agree with that. If I could tack a little piece on at the end there, I think in like, like you said, be authentic, know that you're in this and that this is what you want to do, but for those times where it gets rough and you only have three people watching you, you gotta enjoy the hell out of it like you have to have fun doing it.

Speaker 1:

Yep, because the fun part, the fun will push you past the oh, I didn't make, I didn't get any subs this week, or nobody. The only four people watched me on this stream. But if you're having fun doing it it don't fucking matter. You're just like all right, hit them with the next one, like keep it moving. Yep, so that was that. Took me a while to learn to not only be authentic, but to enjoy it. Once those two things clicked in is like you said it's fun. It doesn't feel like a job. You're just doing what is natural to you and that's amazing. That is good shit, queen. Where can people find you? Where do you do this thing you call streaming? Where do you want them to go?

Speaker 2:

I want y'all to follow me everywhere.

Speaker 2:

Now I'm yeah, all over to the end of the all right. So I am on twitch. Uh, my twitch handle, of course twitchtv slash. Queen dream bad gal 01.

I definitely have to like light a fire up my butt. Respect the game LLC Twitchtv slash respect the game LLC. Great things is happening. Like I said, I'm going to be connecting with a lot of dope folks. Don't get tired of me.

Speaker 1:

I am all about helping people. I made so many connections throughout the years. If I can hook you up with somebody, whatever, or if you need help doing something, let me know, because I like what said. The fighting game community is wide and, unfortunately, most people who look from the outside looking in, all they see is the toxic stuff.

Speaker 2:

Yes.

Speaker 1:

Like there's way more than the toxic in the fighting game community.

Speaker 2:

And I'm learning too Crip. I'm learning that. You know it's entertainment nonetheless. But when you meet these people in real life, like are, like not, they're cool Like you would think. Some of them like Ali, I mean, at least the ones I've met in person have been dope, humble down to earth Like I'm thinking wait, you're this person, like what?

Speaker 2:

Like and you're speaking to me and you're giving me tips and you're not asking for money, like this is crazy, like you know. But yeah, they the fighting game community in its toxicity it's. It's such a cool community. I've met so much dope people through fighting games. It's insane to me, like hell.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's good man this is. I don't know what it is about fighting games, but it tickles something in my brain. I'm like, yeah, and at first I thought it's not a violent thing. That's the crazy part. It's like, uh, all right, you did this. Now let me try to counter that. Let me play some mind games with you, get you out of your element, right. And now I'm it's just oh, so good.

Speaker 2:

Yes, it is it is, you know, and it's like, like you said, there's a mental aspect of it. Like you know, sometimes I feel like I'm playing chess with arms and feet, like you know. It's kind of like you know, sometimes I feel like I'm playing chess with arms and feet. Like you know, it's kind of like you know, trying to guess what your opponent is gonna do, trying to counter, like, like, play all different types of scenarios in your head like, okay, what if this person does this? How, what am I gonna do?

Speaker 1:

like you know, exactly and like on the fly. That's the crazy. Like you're in the middle of a fight. 60 seconds go.

Speaker 2:

I'm like all right, uh right, it's a lot of brain work and you know, and math is involved.

Speaker 1:

I learned that recently same with tekken it's fucking brain. I I understand. Listen, I know this is a little tangent, but tekken 8 is the first game that made me realize what the fuck frame data was and obtain advantage.

Speaker 2:

What does that mean?

Speaker 1:

yo, victor has his plus 4. Like, hit a button please. I dare you to hit a button. It's so good, so good. That's funny. You mean math. I'm telling you you gotta do that shit on the fly. There was this professional. I'm telling you you got to do that shit on the fly. I watched, there was this professional. I'm going to say he's a professional tech player. I don't know, he's a teching god and he was analyzing somebody's match and he was telling you every piece of frame data. The shit wasn't on the screen, he just knew this shit. He's like oh yeah, that's plus four, that's negative 10.

Speaker 2:

I'm like I don't know if I want to be there. That's wild, amazing, amazing. My first introduction to frame data was with a good friend of mine who's also one of my team members at Respect, the Game Nightwing I'm not sure if you're familiar with.

Speaker 1:

Nightwing. I've seen the name.

Speaker 2:

He is one of two of Shy Guy's entertainment um and I connected with him through a fight club that I joined, um you know, at the beginning of the pandemic, and he's he introduced me to frame data because at first I'm like my approach to fighting games is very old school and neanderthal, like cave woman type approach like I literally turn the game on, see a character that looks cool, just start pressing buttons and whatever comes out, naturally, you know, being that, I'm like a 80s baby, like you know, street fighter is kind of like the blueprint.

Speaker 2:

So I'm over here doing like half circle dragon punch, like okay, that's not doing anything, let me try. Is it a charge character? Like literally that's the blueprint, you know and then I didn't learn about frames out. He's like yo, like listen. You're making a lot of errors because you're not. You know you're not utilizing your spacing, you're just you're pressing throw and you're like you're not even in the hit box. I'm like what? Is what is? What is all of this like? What is going on? What are you talking about?

Speaker 1:
