It all began in high school rapping over cassette tapes through a karaoke machine in the garage of his home with his best friend, Lo-Key. The two meshed well and decided to form the group Kane and Lo-Key, under Hurrikane's "Low-Budget Records". The two boys actively participated in sports in high school, while maintaining steady jobs. These outside activities often interferred with their musical aspirations, thus causing them to put their music careers on hold. Both young men went on to graduate college from Albany State University, before heading to what is known as the "real world".
During his high school span, Hurrikane placed himself in various positions that would aid him in the long-term. He linked up with CEO of NY based Black 5 Entertainment, Eric Joseph, to learn the many apsects of the recording industry. He was able to acquire business practices, and promotional techniques while assisting with the label's street team efforts. Many days were spent at the studio observing artists on the label, as well as many of the label's affiliates during recording sessions, acquiring various techniques and tips. These artists include, Up north Ent./Seaport Music's own Mr.Meezy, and former Black 5 Ent.'s Shotgun, and Inffa Red. The opportunity was even presented for Hurrikane to observe the making of Shotgun's first video, "Chow Chow Chow", and serving a cameo appearance in Inffa Red's hit video "Summertime".
He has emphasized the importance of being able to network and exchange musical advice with many aspiring artists. This list includes, Camoflauge, Crime Affiliates, Mean Mugg, Citty Da Cookieman of Slip-N-Slide Records, Unfamiliar Ent., Inferno Records, Down for the Crown Records, MGG, Hellaflow, So So Def's T.Waters, R.E.D.R.U.M., Dj Dyce Law, Furquan Da Don, Gangsta Bolo, SB&R of Money Mind Ent., Neutralize Records, Third Coast, and Mr. Bar None.
Hurrikane has used the lack of quality music that is being commercialized today as his primary inspiration to be heard. He feels that his artistic ability, along with his work ethic, determination, business sense, and clean image can take him to the top. Music is a top priority in his life, however, he has not put this before God, his family, friends, and his current pursuit of an M.B.A degree. He is supported by a loving casts of friends, family, fraternity brothers (Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.), and fans who KNOW that he has what it takes to make it big. All he needs is exposure and to be heard......................calling all CEO's!!!, he's patiently waiting to sign.
