What's Up With
Blanco
'THE SILENT CELEB'
Blanco The Silent Celeb, Whats up?
(TSC) Nothing Mami working, livin my dream.
Well you have a nice buzz right now and a nicer buzz with the ladies. let our readers know who you are. How would you describle your music for people that have never seen you before?
(TSC) My musical style is hard to describe. I let the beat paint the picture and I write the story and put it in motion. I have a RnB soul with a HipHop spirit. So I guess you can say I make "HipHop Soul"
Hip Hop Soul, nice. Thinking back of your early childhood, what was your first experience with music for the first time like? What song do you remember most as a child?
(TSC) Growing up in an old school household I was mainly exposed to gospel, HipHop and dance. My grandmother was huge on Mahalia Jackson and Shirley Cesar however my uncle, aunts and mother were into LL Cool J , Dougie Fresh, George Clinton and New Edition. I can remember coming home from school and hearing LL Cool Js "I Need A Roundaway Girl" blasting throughout
my house. My uncle swore he was LL lol smh.
So As a child growing up, music basically surrounded you; How does the music your grew up on differ from what you listen to now?
(TSC) As an adolescent my uncle was the only male figure I was constantly around and HipHop was his life. LL Cool J was his favorite artist but Run DMC and Fresh Prince were by far his favorite groups.
