So Cann Cann to the supportes that do not know you how would you describle your music/art/entertainment?
CaNn!! CaNn!! I would best describe my Art as Grasping. You'll really have to hear some of my works to see why I say this. I'm from an era of Lyricism and I do love painting pictures with my words. Besides the fact that I put on a hell of a stage show, listening to the lyrics is really important..
Ok, lets start from the beginning and put the horse before th cart. Thinking 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?
Lol, My first experience for music as far as I can remember was listening to Soca and and a ton of Willie Nelson, through my Grandfather and I would be like this is cool stuff, and then my Grandmother would sing her lungs out while cooking and cleaning.. Of all the songs I heard the one that I remember the most was "Lady In Red" by Chris De Burgh. I still could probably go in on that song.
So it's safe to say as a child growing up, music surrounded you; what tye of music did you hear the most back then? How does it differ from what you listen to now?
