RICO DA DON

I RICODADON is about to release my debut

album in 2009,much to the excitement of

my already large number of fans.................. With the

album expected to be a success and fame

imminent, the exciting,versatile sound

that I has made my own is certain to gain

interest from across the world.

The development of my unique style is the

result of a lifetime of musical

influence. Growing up in a talented

musical family meant that I was always

surrounded by different forms of music.My

mom loves various bands, and my parents

exposed me to a wealth of music as a

child, all of which influenced my

development.

My first foray into loving music came

when I 1st heard [SLICK RICK] hey young

girl at the age of 8 years old. Later I

began listening 2 all genre of music,

which I continued with for years before

finally at the age of 18,i decided rap is

my life a decision which I never looked

back on.

MY musical journey begin in PRINCE

GEORGES COUNTY MARYLAND however. Born in

CALI,it was here that I developed my love

4 the west coast as in musical tastes and

interests, and it wasn’t long after

picking up a microphone that I was

experimenting with the keyboard then drum

machine known as the BOSS DR-5,followed

by listening and to watching all the ppl

which had a profound influence on the

direction my musical journey has taken.

After realising that making music was my

main goal,I began to showcase my talent

in various venues across Maryland

playing at numerous gigs and making sure

that my name and music were being heard

by as many people as possible.I was

quickly noted for the unique style that I

brought to the hip hop and rap scene, and

my popularity began to grow.

As my confidence grew and my style

developed, I soon saw a loyal following

begin to grow and I became a popular

local hit around the maryland music

scene. My talent with a variety of

musical instruments only added to my

appeal, and my unique down south story

telling sound with a twist started to

find an appreciative audience.

But although my name was continuing to

grow in WASH D.C.,It is not here that i

am destined to become a star.

Here my musical ambitions continued to

grow,aided by the sounds of

dr.dre,2pac,snoop,mc eiht,nas,jay z,

biggie that i found me listening 2 all

the time.Although hip hop music is where

my roots lie, and there was plenty of

room for me that is not to say that I

find myself in love wit my music genre

lol.In fact my influences are vast, which

my CD collection demonstrates, providing

literally a room full of music from every

corner of the globe.

I am quick to point out that everything i

listen to directs my musical development

in some way. However, I would certainly

include snoop dogg,dr.dre,2pac,slick

rick,mc eiht,jayz and nas as amongst my

biggest influences.

Finally, after honing my unique sound

over recent years,I am now preparing to

release my debut album,[MY WORLD MY WAY],

which underlies the changes that i went

and gone through over recent years. The

biggest of these was the ‘switch’ from

CALI to D.C,which has allowed me to

develop as a person, and has in turn

profoundly aided my musical development.

The songs i write provide a combination

of my exciting street life and mellow

vocals,over banging beats with a rhythmic

undercurrent that bears testament to my

story telling, and punctuated throughout

with elements of hip-hop,and R&B.

Other changes that have affected and

influenced my song-writing over recent

years have been my development of

political writing, an area that I pays a

lot of attention to and incorporates to a

certain degree in my music, employing

sound bites of news reports to add an

extra dimension to some of my songs.

And as if that wasn’t enough,I have taken

it upon myself to take up an entirely

different, though chill satisfying, hobby

of reading books.The satisfaction I get

from indulging in his many passions has

led to a wonderful mind on tracks,

although fans are not always happy by the

words i display all the time they still

show love and support.....so thanks 2 all

my fans....RICODADON...

MY touring schedule is increasing

relentlessly, and I am finding myself

more in demand than ever on many projects
