STREET R&B WITH A SOULFUL TWIST!!!!!

About Me

"SHO" WAS BORN CEDRIC MAYFIELD ON THE ROUGH STREETS OF DETROIT, MICHIGAN. AND LIKE IN SO MANY OTHER POVERTY STRICKEN NEIGHBORHOODS, SHO HAD IT ROUGH GROWING UP, BEEN BOUNCED FROM ONE FAMILY MEMBER TO ANOTHER. WITH A STRONG CRURCH BACKGROUND, SHO PICKED UP MUSIC AS A SECOND NATURE. EVERYONE KNEW AS A CHILD THAT SHO WAS BLESSED WITH THE GIFT OF MUSIC. BY THE AGE OF THIRTEEN SHO WAS SHIPPED SIXTY THREE MILES AWAY FROM HOME TO A FOSTER CARE AGENCY FOR CHILD NEGLECT TO A SMALL TOWN CALLED FLINT, MICHIGAN. BY THEN SHO HAD BEEN SINGING IN ALL THE LOCAL MALLS AND ON ALL THE LOCAL BUSES IN HIS HOME T0WN.

NOW FEELING LIKE A STRANGER AND A OUTSIDER, SHO QUICKLY ADAPTS TO HIS NEW ENVIRONMENT AND IT WASN'T LONG BEFORE SHO STARTING HAVING FREQUENT RUN-INS WITH AUTHORITY AND UNFORTUNATELY LANDED HIMSELF BEHIND BARS BY THE AGE OF SEVENTEEN. AFTER BEING INCARCERATED LONGER THEN HIS SENTENCE, SHO LEARN THAT HE HAD A GIFT TO NOT JUST SING MUSIC BUT WRITE GREAT SONGS FOR PEOPLE TO LISTEN TO ALL OVER THE WORLD.

AFTER THIS DISCOVERY SHO QUICKLY GOT HIS ACT TOGETHER AND STARTED STUDYING THE BUSINESS OF MUSIC AND FOUND THAT MANY YOUNG BLACK ENTREPRENEURS WERE MAKING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM INDEPENDENT RECORD SELLS. HE THEN SET HIS SITES ON BECOMING THE NEXT MASTER P INDIE R&B ARTIST TO DO IT HIMSELF. AND "SHO" DID JUST THAT.

IN THE SUMMER OF 2003 SHO BROUGHT HIS FIRST INDEPENDENT R&B ALBUM OUT ENTITLED "SHO" STRICKLY STREETS. THE ALBUM QUICKLY BECAME THE NEW UNDERGROUND R&B BUZZ FOR THE STREETS SELLING 15,000 -20,000 UNITS OUT THE TRUCK. AFTER THE SMALL SUCCESS OF HIS FIRST ALBUM, NINE MONTHS LATER SHO RELEASED HIS SECOND INDIE ALBUM CALLED "SHO" ME LOVE WHICH INSTANTLY GAINED HIM INTERNATIONAL EXPOSURE ALL OVER THE WORLD.
