Featured artist: Cap-A - WHO IS Cap-A??
Below is a short interview with the upcoming underground artist Cap-A.
How did you decide to become an artist?
Cap-A: I GREW UP IN A FAMILY WHO LOVED R & B , & HIP HOP MUSIC. AS A KID PLAYING IN THE STREETS, PARKS, EVERYBODY WAS RAPPING AND SAYING WHAT THEY WANTED IN A RYTHMIC WAY SOMETHING POETIC. THE MORE I SEEN PEOPLE RAPPING & WRITING SONGS, THE MORE I WANTED TO DO IT MYSELF. FORMING WORDS THAT RYHME INTO MELODY & SONGS AND PERFORMING ANYWHERE POSSIBLE.
SO I FINALLY DECIDED TO BE AN ARIST AND WRITE MY OWN SONGS TO SHARE WITH THE WORLD.
TO BE MYSELF WHEN MAKING MUSIC, AND BUILD MY OWN BRAND DIFFERENT FROM OTHER ARTISTS.
What about concerts? Do you play live?
YES, I PERFORM IN CLUBS OF ALL SIZES, SHOWCASES, AND PARADES.
Best punchline you ever wrote?
EXPERIENCE IS DA BEST TEACHER/ WHEN U AT THE BOTTOM NO ONE NEEDS YA/ WHEN YOU ON TOP WATCH FOR THE LEECHES!

Last but not least: Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
YES I WOULD SIGN TO A MAJOR IF MY BUZZ WAS BIG ENOUGH , BUT UNTILL THEN IM STILL GRINGING AND BUILDING MY FANBASE…. GOOD THING ABOUT BEING WITH A MAJOR IS ALL THE MAINSTREAM OULETS, AND OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE TO ARTIST LIKE RADIO, MEDIA COVERAGE.
