Every couple of weeks or so, we turn on the radio and hear a one hit wonder.
That seems to be the new trend of most artist these days.
Well, new r&b/pop sensation Canary is confident thats he's here to stay. "I live and breathe music. I dont think you're gonna hear alotta artists who are gonna stay consistent and still be able to attract a fanbase like me. I dont wanna be placed in one genre because I do it all and Im willing to take risks" says the sky pitched 19 year old. "Im not trying to be the next this guy or that guy. I wanna be as different as possible." And with all the attention he's getting from major label reps this year, it seems as if Canary might just be the new face of 2008.
Raised in the Alexandria vicinity of Marksville, Louisiana, this Houston born Creole is no stranger to hard times. "I had like 3 brothers and a sister, and my mom moved us around alot so I didnt have like your average childhood I guess. I mean we was ratchet back then and we didnt even know it till we moved back to Houston. I did my first talent show when I was in elementary school and after that I just stuck with it" recalls Canary.
Showcasing his talent and making a name for himself seemed to come natural for this upcoming phenomenom.
"I remember we had crowds of girls and stuff in the malls and in high school. And it got to the point where like alotta known dudes were noticing me." Artists such as the Diplomats, Pretty Willie, Myxx, Cyssero, Rocafella producer Chad Wes, and the Young Gunz were all expected to do features with Canary.
But trouble seemed to follow him throughout high school. "You had the girls, the gangs, the battle rappers, and all that in my school" says Canary. "And then...(pause)...I got locked up twice & and got a felony charge of assault with a deadly weapon during my last year of high school. It was crazy...but i made a promise to myself that I was gonna stay away from all the drama after that. I got focused and I havent looked back since."
Now residing in New Orleans and teaming up with Baby Boy Da Prince & new Universal recording artist Flame on the road, we can only expect big things from this guy.
"Ive got alotta things going on right now. Ive got a single called "Shawty Ay(The Acapella Song) thats probably gonna be released this year, Ive got Universal Motown interested, Ive got a few movies and endorsements possibly, and Im building my fanbase, and Im gonna be collaborating with Sean Kingston(Beautiful Girls) & the super producer group Insomniax(Boyz II Men, Bobby Valentino, B5, Myxx, Lloyd) so lets slide!!!"
