Cuban Kandy
I was born in Westchester County, NY, and my childhood was characterized by a typical yet vibrant upbringing. Growing up in a household with both parents present shaped my values and provided a stable foundation. As the youngest child, I often took on a leadership role, which sparked my independent spirit. My involvement in music and talent programs from a young age allowed me to express myself and showcased my passion for performance.
Three years ago, my desire to create my own music ignited when a friend shared a beat with me. Having previously managed an artist, I realized that I thrived under the pressure and excitement of the music scene. This new chapter revealed the transformative power of music and how it can resonate with people’s emotions. Influenced by strong female artists like Lil’ Kim, Nicki Minaj, and Missy Elliot, I found inspiration in their empowering messages, which I aspire to reflect in my own work.
My style can be best described as hip-hop infused with confidence and boss mentality, where themes of empowerment and success dominate my lyrics. One of the most exhilarating aspects of being an artist is receiving feedback from listeners who connect with my music. When someone tells me they enjoy my songs or that I’ve impacted their mood, it reinforces my purpose as a musician. However, the pressure to succeed and external expectations can sometimes create anxiety.
Looking forward, I am committed to releasing new visuals and projects while performing at larger venues. I aim to solidify my presence in the music industry as an independent artist, with aspirations of charting on Billboard and collaborating with established names. My journey is driven by dedication, creativity, and an unwavering desire to make a meaningful impact through music.
