Carlton Wallace better known as C - Money was born on August 15, 1984 in Tampa, FL. Raised by a single mother, C-money the oldest of four, was forced to find guidance in other places. He grew up in Progress Village a community surrounded by drugs, violence, and many bad influences. "Its not all positive but it made me who I am" C-money speaks of his neighborhood. A life long Tampa native C-Money attended East Bay High School where he developed his hustler's mentality and unfortunately dropped out. Forced to live on his own C-Money became a product of his environment and got involved in the street life. With no clear path for his future he searched for an outlet and found one in the form of music. "It was a mutual relationship, I needed it and it needed me" he says. Influenced by 2pac, Jay-z, and Biggie he began writing music that reflected his life experiences. In 2006, C-money released "Grams of Anything" his first mixtape. With its release "Grams of Anything" made him an instant favorite among those in his neighborhood and throughout the city. After many set backs and personal changes C-money and a couple friends formed TRAPCITY ENTERTAINMENT. Earlier this year C-money released his first album "Da Ca$hflow" to much success. Although he has only been doing it for a couple of years C-money has noticed many changes in his life due to making music, "As music changed so did my life." Always the ambitious type C-money is setting himself up to be a major name not only in the Florida music scene but in the music industry as a whole.
