BAM BAM (Connell Crooms)
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
He was discovered to have become deaf at the age of 5 but his hearing deteriorated earlier than that,his hearing loss went unnoticed because he taught himself to read lips. Bam Bam started rapping at the tender age of 13 and has done several tracks mostly as a featured artist. He is regarded as one of the best deaf rappers within the deaf community, having done shows at ASL Poetry Night at Busboys and Poets, Def Nation concert, Real Men Real Pride, and even performed with world renowned Wild Zappers. He is currently working on a solo album, be on the lookout for that!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
