I recently had the opportunity to speak with Cris Cab, Pharell's hot new artist. You might be thinking that he is the next new skater boy rap artist but you could not be more wrong. Actually, Cris Cab is an 18 year old soul singer who hails from Miami, FL. Check out what he has to say below:
How long have you been working on your EP and how does is it feel to be finished?
"It feels great! I've been working on it for 7 months and it's my 1st body of work".
How would you classify your music?
"A lil bit of everything - reggae, hip hop, neo soul".
What’s your favorite song on the EP? Why?
"My favorite song would have to be "Life Goes On" It has simple song instrumentation and a strong message. It has a lot to do with an experience with my cousin who traveled and came back".
Are you excited about performing in the DMV?
"Hell yeah. Honestly, I thought the DMV
was like motor vehicle.…had no clue what it was. I don't have a lot of fans there so I'm interested in performing in new markets and developing a fan base.
Do you have a girlfriend?
"I did but not now. Don’t have a lot of time...we recently broke up because of it. It was a mutual break up and we decided to move on. We're still friends though".
