About Me
Hear new CLUB BANGA "Fly" below. Wanna hear it in da clubs in ur city? Get at me!Raised on the South Side of Chicago, the songstress early recording years were of humble beginning. "Although I had my own set up, it was not equipped with the tools I needed to make professional music, therefore, I stepped it up a notch and headed to a somewhat better studio," said Gold.This talented young lady has been writing songs since the early age of 11. She explains how she had a little set up in her room, which iwas in the attic of south side of Chicago home that she lived in with her mom.The musician had her DR770 drum machine, keyboard, 6 track mixing board, and mic. "It was not top of the line equiptment, but it was enough to get the talent off my chest, which is a big deal for me. Plus it allowed me to nurture my gift at a young age."Although the musician had her own set up, she explained how it was time to step it up a notch."A few rap buddies introuced me to this studio off of 83rd St. in Chicago. It was in a house, but E Smoove, the owner, was cool and he only charged me $10 an hour. Eventually there was no charge. He just appreciated my talent and we vibed well.""I was 15 years old when I attended E Smoove's studio. I recorded my first 5 song demo there. My family and friends were so excited, and so was I."The musician said how she had to make some important decisions involving her life around her senior year in high school.Her parents believed that she should have a back up, in case her music career did not work out.At that point, Gold applied to Florida A&M University in Tallahassee, where she recieved her Bachelor's of Science in public relations.During her time at FAMU, she continued singing, writing and performing. "Music was not going to leave me that easy." I mean, I'm an artsy person, I will always involve myself with the arts no matter where I'm at in life."Although the musician decided to attend college, she does not feel like she has abondoned her true talent, which is being a musician."I think earning my degree has added to my talent. College has taught me discipline, struggle, hope, and so much more. If anything, I have learned how to handle business, which is important in the music industry."The musician has an album that was mainly produced by well-known musician/producer Bobby Wooten, who produced early tracks of Keith Sweat, and many others.Her latest song is "Fly," which is not on her album. It is a beat jack of T-Pain's Chopped & Screwed. "I feel like this might be the song to really put me out there. It's a familiar beat that people are feeling, and my lyrics to it are simply "it."
