DA SHAW
BEAUTIFUL MUSIK RECORDINGS PRESENTS...HIP HOP ARTIST "DA SHAW" FROM CARSON, CA
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
EVERY NOW AND THEN A HIP HOP ARTIST COMES ALONG WITH PASSION, DEDICATION, DRIVE & GENUINE TALENT. AN ARTIST WITH GREAT WRITING SKILLS, DELIVERY, AND HUMOR. AN ARTIST WITH A GIFT TO CREATE A LOYAL FOLLOWING IN EVERY GHETTO, HOOD, SUBURB & BLOCK ALL OVER THE WORLD WHICH BRINGS ME TO NON OTHER THAN BEAUTIFUL MUSIK RECORDING ARTIST "DA SHAW".......................BORN IN CARSON, CALIFORNIA HE GREW UP AROUND THE LEGENDARY WEST COAST SOUND WHICH BECAME HIS MOTIVATION TO PURSUE HIS OWN CAREER IN MUSIC. ON HIS DEBUT ALBUM TITLED "CLASSIC 4 DA HOOD" HE JOKES ABOUT GETTING HIS CONFIDENCE (BATTLING NIGGAZ AT LUNCH TIME)WITH COUNTLESS VICTORIES & THE CHEERS FROM THE CROWD IT BECAME ALL HE NEEDED TO MOTIVATE HIS DREAM!............................... IN 2003 HE TOOK HIS TALENTS TO ATLANTA, GA WHERE HE ATTENDED CLARK ATLANTA COLLEGE. HE STAYED DOWN THERE FOR A YEAR BUT HIS DREAM TO DO MUSIC WAS ALWAYS IN THE BACK OF HIS MIND WHICH BECAME A DISTRACTION. SO HE DROPPED OUT AND FOCUSED FULL-TIME ON HIS MUSIC CAREER.............................BACK IN CALIFORNIA WITH NO MUSIC CONNECTS HE STARTED GRINDIN ON HIS OWN DOIN TALENT SHOWS, SHOWCASES & ANYTHING TO GET HIS NAME OUT THERE. HE STARTED TO CREATE A BUZZ WHEN HE HOOKED UP WITH LOCAL PRODUCER "MARC BRAND" AND FORMED A SMALL COMPANY CALLED "BRAND NEW".......... AFTER RECORDING A MIX-TAPE AND PASSING THEM OUT TO ANYONE THAT WOULD TAKE IT, HE SAW HIS DREAMS BECOMING MORE OF A REALITY.............................................................................................. ONE OF THOSE C.D's FELL INTO THE HANDS OF WEST COAST GIRL MANAGEMENT'S OWNER "CHEMER JACKSON" WHICH PASSED IT ON TO A FRIEND OF HERS THAT OWNED A INDEPENDENT RECORD LABEL CALLED "BEAUTIFUL MUSIK RECORDINGS" BY THE NAME OF "ARENBE"..... AFTER ONE LISTEN HE BECAME CURIOUS BUT NOT YET EXCITED UNTIL CHEMER INVITED HIM OUT TO SEE "DA SHAW" PERFORM AND HE WAS SOLD! THAT ON STAGE ENERGY, THE EXCITEMENT AND CROWD REACTION WAS ENOUGH........ HE INVITED DA SHAW TO HIS STUDIO/OFFICE THE NEXT DAY WHERE HE GAVE HIM A CHANCE TO BE FEATURED ON A SONG THAT HE WAS WORKING ON WITH A FEMALE R&B GROUP AT THE TIME AND "DA SHAW" KILLED IT IN ONE TAKE............ SO AS THEY SAY THE REST IS HISTORY THE CONTRACT WAS OFFERED "DA SHAW" SIGNED AND NOW HERE WE ARE (12)MONTHS AND A HIGH SCHOOL TOUR LATER!!! HIS ALBUM IS COMPLETE WITH AN EARLY SPR '07 RELEASE DATE "DA SHAW" CAN FINALLY RELEASE WHAT HE'S BEEN TRYING TO GET OUT ALL THESE YEARS........................ ANOTHER "CLASSIC 4 DA HOOD"
