Where are you from and what is the Hip-Hop scene like there? |
I was born in Greenwood, SC; I’m originally from a small town called Aiken, SC. There
isn’t really a hip-hop scene here, just a place more so for retirement, lol;
Sorry, but I don’t plan to retire soon. I am basically looking to pave the way
for artists who have the same desire and talent for music like I do. |
Can you tell us more about Acrobat Entertainment? |
Acrobat Entertainment is independently owned by me and co-owned by Matthew Glanton
Jr. We are pretty much the drive behind what we do and to make sure that everything
has a positive outlook when finished. Acrobat Entertainment also encompasses
artist development and management as well. |
How did you get your start? |
When I was 14 years old I was part of a group called “The Young Stunnaz”, eventually
I branched out and decided to finish out school and focus on basketball. Oh
yeah! I’m a woman of many talents and balling is my thing! A couple years later,
I entered a talent competition in Daytona Beach, FL where I was introduced to
Maurice Starr, the former manager of Boyz II Men and The Back Street Boys. I
had the opportunity to be a ghost writer and make beats for his up and coming artist.
I also had the opportunity to be managed by him, but I chose to past all
this up. |
Where do you record your music? |
All hits are made in the wonderful lab of Acrobat Entertainment located in South
Carolina. |
Who does production on most of your songs? |
Believe it or not I am the producer/artist. I do everything from making my beats,
sound engineering as well as writing my own lyrics. I guess you can call me the
“Renaissance Woman”, because I can pretty much do it all. I love challenges and
music does just that for me. On occasion I may work with other producers |
Did you teach yourself to do studio engineering? |
Yes, It was always fail or prevail and because I refuse to lose, I chose to learn
what it takes to be the best at whatever I do. |
What equipment do you use for music production and recording? |
The major basic ingredients are; sound mixing software (pro tools) or whatever the
engineer is comfortable with using. A powerful computer (Sony or Apple), a condenser
microphone (which ever work well with your voice), an excellent mixer (phantom
powered depending on the requirements of the sound recording items utilized),
a pair of dynamic headphones and last but not least monitors that gives
you that excellent sound quality. These are the combinations my partner and
I generally use. |
Have you been performing anywhere lately? |
Lately, I’ve focusing on making music that people of all aspects can not only relate
to, but love to listen to. Eventually I do plan to book shows, because I feel
it’s only right to my fans, so now it’s time to put it in over drive! |
What can we expect from you in the future? |
More hits and eventually nationwide performances. |
