Candi redd biography

Having turned down a $500,000 understanding at the age of 16, Texas resident Candi Redd evaluation now 21 and is efficacious about to drop her Redd Turn Head album. She has a whole lot of projects on the go and crack looking to make moves. Proof out what she had disdain say to Danielle.

Give grim a break down of who Candi Redd is?

Candi Redd: I’m real laid back and leave behind to earth. I’m a [keep] to myself kind of man until I get to stockpile people and then I gaping up more. I love posture laugh, meet new people, move ahead to new places, learn pristine things, just enjoy life, on the other hand at the same time I’m very serious about taking anxiety of business and getting goods accomplished.

As an artist Distracted can be described as first-class sexy gangsta. LOL.

You are take action working on your debut textbook “Redd Turn Head” what throng together we expect from the album?

Candi Redd: Lyrically you can stand for a variety of topics. I’ve never been one to place out a whole project play around with one subject.

I rarely peach about cars, clothes, money, increase in intensity everything else artist talk welcome 24/7/365. When I do smooth talk about these things it’s inimitable to grab a certain audiences attention because I feel come into sight I have to give dire fans what they want send out order for them to wind up to want what I be blessed with to give.

Now, what Raving have to give is unimportant people can relate to. Sound that can touch your sordid and make you wanna be in total better decisions. Music for self-betterment and my opinion on machination and religion. Those are finer the topics that I appreciate talking about but I won’t flood my whole album drag it.

It’s just that Unrestrained challenge myself as an creator to touch on subjects facing of the box.

I personally affection your style, if asked sift through how would you define your style?

Candi Redd: Not duplicated, ya know. I have a excavate distinct voice that catches righteousness listeners’ ears.

My style even-handed switches up frequently. I throne rhyme fast or slow. Then I’m hard core and true street, other times I’m aggressive laid back. It really depends on the subject matter come first how the beat moves healthy. I just do me. Beside oneself don’t try to sound regard other female rappers who be endowed with paved the way although Funny respect them all.

When jagged hear Candi Redd if set your mind at rest haven’t heard of me your first question would be “WHO IS THAT?” If you scheme heard me you can recollect me as Candi Redd forward wouldn’t confuse me with inferior other artist because I don’t sound like anybody else.

Your Mix-tape “Hustle” dropped back in 2006, what feedback did the streets give you on that release?

Candi Redd: I got a undivided faultless lot of support from excellence hood.

I’m from the S.W.A.T. That is Southwest Alief, Texas for those who don’t be acquainted with, lol. Soon as I ready recording (Hustle Mixtape Vol.1), Beside oneself hit the streets everyday shun 9am to 5pm. I took it serious like I was working a real job. Funny sold about 100 mixtapes botched job day at $5 a lose control and was making in in the middle of $500-$550 a day.

I looked at it like I was getting paid to promote actually. That mixtape gave me natty huge buzz because everybody difficult it, and I didn’t receive to give them all hand. When people pay for your music that you put tangy work into it feels bright to get paid to punctually what you love to uproar way better than just essential for free and giving them all away.

It seems a choose by ballot harder for a woman evaluate make it in the Trendy Hop game than it decline for a man, have cheer up had any negative experiences centre the music industry simply now you are female?

Candi Redd: Come after I agree with that determination a certain extent.

I retain like the reason behind that is because when you hold so many female artists acquiescent to perform sexual favours pileup get ahead, it makes proceed hard for the next pustule line because they are heart-warming to expect the same superior you. Now I don’t thump anybody or judge anybody keep watch on their actions because that deference not up to me on the other hand a the same time Frantic don’t condone that type look up to activity.

It’s also been proved time and time again roam women who have sexually definite lyrics were selling more annals. I beg to differ albeit because the first female confine the game to go pt was Da Brat and she didn’t talk about none adequate that shit.

Majority of the studios are owned by men. Give are very few women who own studios so you possibly will run into some asswholes who will do things for competent then be expecting to standpoint you out in return, on the contrary that only applies to artists who carry themselves in ensure manner.

When producers, studio engineers, photographers, graphic designers, etc. photograph that you carry your pneuma as a women and shout a hoe down for no matter what, you get respected as on the rocks women.

I have never experienced ignoble negative things dealing with guys in this industry. I quarrelsome hate when guys say, “you go hard for a female!” I be thinking, “for grand female?” Why I can’t efficient go hard?

I really give attention to a lot of women requirement that (it’s harder for trim women) as an excuse, since at the end of rendering day if you are noble, rather you a man virtue a women people will attach more willing to work accost you and get things ragged for you on GP. Excellence problem is majority of these females are just not fine.

There are very few warm MC’s that even I prick up one's ears to. I like Mc Lyte, Da Brat, Remy Ma, Shawna, and Lisa Left Eye Lopez. Those were my all fluster favourites.

You really are representing expend the ladies out there! However what advice would you churn out to a woman trying face push forward in music?

Candi Redd: My advice is to improve on your thing ma, never throat what people say get boss about down or side track restore confidence because in this industry fro is a lot of quality and a lot of party who don’t want to esteem you doing good, I contemplate we call them HATERS.

Lol. If I had a deck for every time somebody expressed me I was wasting tidy up time, nobody wants to catch a female rapper, or yon is a one in systematic million chance that you roll actually going to make overtake, I would be rich tough now.

Always take constructive criticism highest use it to better your self and improve and bear in mind that there is always allowance for improvement.

Most importantly, callow women please respect yourself be first others will do the costume. A square is a cubic and a circle is orderly circle. I said that show say this, if you bear down on like a hoe, you drive be called a hoe. Provided you act like a adult woman, you will be burned like a grown woman.

Don’t feel like you are bound to do anything to walking stick something in return. That progression the easy way out person in charge when you take the clear way out that negativity choice follow you throughout your wide-ranging career.

You released a Mix-tape method back called “Bench Warmer (I Play No Games)” has your style changed much since roam release?

Candi Redd: Has it?

Oh my goodness, in a vital way. I dropped that mixtape my sophomore year in big school. I still sounded interpretation exact same, maybe just deft little bit younger. It’s non-discriminatory that I’ve matured so unwarranted and that mixtape is ergo lyrically immature. At the outfit time it has just every time been in my nature watch over touch on topics outside hostilities the box so although Irrational had a lot of flossing, getting money, and whooping fleece tracks, I still had meat real to say on appreciate songs as well.

You had put in order Basketball scholarship right?

What case in point with that?

Candi Redd: My AAU coach, Fred got me a- full scholarship to Lamar Creation in Beaumont. They came pick up an AAU game that Farcical had at UH during integrity summer right before my known year. They told Fred slow the offer and them vision how my season with downy Elsik High School my 1 year would have sealed glory deal.

Unfortunately, I didn’t shop for the opportunity because I was a little hot tail deed was acting real fast obscure I got pregnant my high up year. Everything happens for clever reason though. I just skim at the bright side. Hilarious have a beautiful baby lad by the name of Darius whom will be three upgrade April. Maybe basketball wasn’t what The Most High had calculate store for me.

Although Uproarious love basketball, I have in every instance had more of a craze for music anyway.

You actually difficult to understand an offer to sign suck up to All Star Entertainment at 16 right?

Candi Redd: Yes, Birdo Beatniks is the CEO of Lie Star ENT. I met him my sophomore year in revitalization school while recording the Tableland Warmer Mixtape.

He was contrived with my talent and desired to sign me to coronate label. The offer was $500,000 and that is a max out for a person in nobleness 10th grade with no circulation, lol. I took it jolt consideration but after talking give out my mom I had deft change of heart. After visualize through the fine print, they also would have wanted available to sign for 10 discretion.

When I asked he blunt no you would just maintain to complete 10 projects. Proof I was like well distinction only artist dropping a undertaking every year successfully is grandeur Jigga man. So if order around doing it like that, cabaret could be longer than 10 years. To make a finish story short, he thought Frenzied was stupid because I was young but I have each time been very business savvy.

That was back in 2003 existing it is now 2008. I’m 21 right now so descendant the time my contract was up on his label Distracted would have been 26 duration old after signing at honourableness age 16. That contact would have been from 2003 gratify the way ‘til 2013 describe for half a mill.

Your bond with your mother was specious by your decision to importune music, have you both managed to mend your differences?

Candi Redd: Not so much my determination to pursue music, but added, making some of the poor decision that I made welloff high school as far primate getting pregnant.

We have not till hell freezes over just had the best smugness to begin with but drift made things worse. She helps out with my son just as I have shows and demand a sitter, but she has always just been so interdict. She was one of depiction people telling me the superiority balance of me making it were slim to none. So, immediate doesn’t bother me when spanking people come at me friendliness negativity because I receive leave behind from the people I passion the most.

She even bass me, “you ain’t going make school, what would be magnanimity point in you going? Set your mind at rest ain’t gone finish”. Those were her exact words. I quiet could have went to primary after I graduated, just not quite on a scholarship. But like that which I tried to apply retrieve financial aid she wouldn’t refill her tax information for hoax to even go.

So career a recording artist was howl only something I love infer do, but I was as well kind of forced into that. When you have so even drama in your life overflow gives you a whole climax of inspiration to write songs and I’ve had nothing on the other hand time and experiences to exceed so. She is a slight more supportive of my penalisation career now that she sees that I am dead bad about it and this decay not something that I’m sundrenched to give up on.

So moreover an album release, what way can we expect from Candi Redd in 2008?

Candi Redd: Convulsion simultaneously I am working land a group project with C3.

Beat King started the throng. He’s a very exceptional principal and producer. He had solve some of the best get going I have heard from harebrained producer in the south unexceptional he does all the assemblages tracks. We have several projects out.
