I been singing , songwritting and MC'ing for like about 4 years now and everyday I keep improving my craft. I feel that its godsend for me to do music because I have done many things in my life, but I have never felt that I was the best that I could be at it. But when it came to music, everything came natural. from the way the words floated out my brain and surfaced itself on paper, to the extinguishing voice that I portray over melodic beats and drums that often displayed a smooth realistic portrait of life being told from a poetic perspective. But all that aside, Im just a young artist on the come up, just pushing and being on my grind 24/7. Music is what I eat,breath and sleep. Its not a hobby for me its a lifestyle. But my current status as an artist is keep writting songs, and working in the studio. I have recorded a couple of tracks, thats on my debut EP entitled "Dont Sweat The Techniqe...But Sweat The Method EP" Im currently on the grind, to just get my music out , and establish a buzz. Im doing a couple of shows in the upcoming months, and trying to shop my demo for a record deal. im just a knowledgeble young artist, trying to make my dreams come true. Any artists that are looking for beats, you can hit me up. Any local LA artists, holla at me bout performing live , and doing some shows. Also any R&B vocalists, definitely holla at me if u living around the LA or San Bernadino area. Peace 1 *~*Lil'Shine*~*
Why this name?
I got my name from one my homies when I was in middle school. because I was always fly and shinning they was like Ima call you Shine. So the name just stuck with me.
Do you play live?
Yes I play live, I played a t a couple of LA clubs and performed at some talent shows as well.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think the internet can change the music industry because it enables many listeners to be exposed to great up and coming acts and listen to some great music that simply just has not hit it big yet. Its a great deal for the artist as well to promote there music through the internet
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I am in hope of signing a major record deal or distribution label deal. But only if the contract is right and to my understanding.

My musical influences stretches from many genres of music. I vibe with jazz,soul,funk, mowtown R&B, blues, and 90's R&B. You will see those genre's of music displayed in some of my hiphop tracks.
