Written by Russell Duckett and Be Mi!
Be Mi was born in Watts, Be Mi = original, I'm going to be mi, also first to letters of his first and last name. His dad worked for the city of Los Angeles for 45 years, and his stern, loving mother was always there for him. He started singing at around 16 months His was inspired by his father and even at a young age when his dad and his band used to practice a young Be Mi would tell him how to sing the song.
All of his family sings, he is the only boy out of 5 children. Be Mi at the ages of 6-7 he first started singing at church, which was almost considered he and his fathers personal concert. He also did his first play at young age.
In high school he was called pretty boy. His coach said he wanted to be to clean and that he didn't want to get dirty. He had a singing group in high school called B.O.F. (Brothers Of Faith, They Performed at weddings, funerals, house parties.)
Below is a few Be Mi facts from a recent phone convo! Check it!
Kid days and his secret Mike Jack fetish
When I was young I played a lot of sports, basketball, football, you name it until I got into video games. I was chopping it up on Pole position, Pac man., Double dribble, Tecmo bowl. I really liked Micheal Jackson when I was growing up, I loved the fact he could entertain and hold the crowd. I wanted one of those fresh zipper jackets. When the thriller video came out I watch the video like 25-30 times until I knew the dance.
What stimulates your mind?
My Favorite book is "IT" and of mice and men, I really like Stephen King. As for movies it would have to be half baked, usual suspects, house party, like martial arts flicks basically I just love a good show. My favorite cartoon is family guy you gotta love Stewie, used to be the Animaniacs pinky and brain were always on point. I love football and basketball my favorite teams are the Philly Eagles, and San Antonio Spurs.
Music influences, and super slim shady fan
I grew up listening Stevie wonder, Marvin Gaye. Right now I listen to Music, Anthony Hamilton, Neo, Mario and mosdefinitely John Legend Who's the One person you would want do a collab with dead or alive?: Stevie would be my first thought, John Legend, but I would honestly love to do a song with Marshall Mathers ( Eminem) Why? You know the cat is talented he has a way with words, the way he flips his words, you know I'm just a big fan.
Social Studies: Mike Vick and the Juice
On the Micheal vick dog case: I think there's are a lot of people who could be prosecuted, for you to prosecute a man for that when you have cock fighting, dog fight, amongst others, and you want to send a man to jail for fighting some dogs? I just don't think it's that bad. You have bull fighting and people are putting their life on the line. I think some people care more for animals than human life and that's a problem. What do you think about O.J.? That cat got issues.
The womanizer or Mr. Couch Potato?
A good night in Los Angeles for me is, I mean I'm a simple man, I like to chill at the house, watch a game, a movie, or play video games. So even though you write love songs your Mr. Couch Potato? I'm Mr. Reality. Romance is what you make it. What do you look for in a woman? I look for intelligence in a woman, laid back, chill you know? One tip on love and relationships: Be patient, love is not easy, being in love is not easy, and loving someone is not easy.... We are not promised a certain amount of time with a person but patience is a virtue. It's a beautiful thing.
Quick Hits
Went to William Howard Taft high
He signed with an inde label years back was turned off to music, to the point he wouldn't even sing, (not even in the shower!)
A buddy of his got him refocused into the music.
The REAL: That you don't have to be no one else but your self, people are going like you for you.
Be Mi likes to joke around, likes to clown but put on the ominous image due to life situations, but when you meet him he's a cool laid back and upbeat cat.
A message to up and coming acts: You gotta keep trying, keep pushing. Different trials will come your way but you have to be patient in the long run.
