O KNOW My name is Kalaii Griffin I was born in Springfield Mass (413) and moved to the DMV [DC, MD, VA] area at fourteen. When i first moved to dmv i bought a mic and tried to produce. Knew nothing about it, but i left it alone when i fell inlove with football, 2 months ago i had got off a motivating phone call that basically made me feel. “ i am going to do what made me happy, and see what i can do to music if i just gave a little effort.” In the 10th grade we were freestyling and didn’t have anything that rhymed with kangaroo, so i used bang-o roo. Sounded good whenever it was said then i started saying it. A lot of my older friends started calling me Bang and it just kind of stuck. I ask myself all the time what is my sound? I ask myself that all the time, you have to grow and change with the time and vibe whether it is Drake, Will Smith, or any trap drill music artist you see a lot of change ups. I would say I adapt to whatever beat I’m on. That’s the best way for me to describe my sound. Ultimately I want my music to make my female and male fans party together. I want them to be hype before a event. At the same time have a woman vibe and want to listen to it while at the same time a grown man can turn it on and give me props. My short term goal is to open for many and work with artists like Rae Sremmrund or Travis Scott. My long term goals are to have a sold www.MisfitTunes.com out tour and or perform with my favorite artist. I feel I would sound like a crazy collab with myself. Bizzy crook or wale i would love to “ intern” with they would grow me as a artist at this point in my “career”. But for the dmv ! Streetz 1waynostra i think would be a good collab. When asked if I would sign a major deal or stay independent my honest answer every time has been id be good with either if it is reasonable. My fans and supporters would be surprised to find out that “1975” is my first real recorded song and video. Redspace studios did a amazing job dealing with the fact it was many hours and i couldn’t get the voice I liked when recording “1975.” It being my first real effort at music I wanted it to be better than people expected. Not at all did I expect “1975” to take off like it did just like the mixtape title this was all just to say i did it. Especially not the video or all the amazing positive feedback. Thank you for all the shares! ~Bango 33
