wasn't born to be a farmer, He slang weed and poetry,
left his home and hit the road alone to roam the city streets,
with his pen his pad holding chrome and shell toes on his feet.
Carolina Cracker a.k.a. Michael Higgins is a native of Burnsville, North Carolina. As a child he didn’t have much and turned to the outdoors, spending most of his time flying through the woods on his ATV. In school he began writing poetry and his music launched from there. The cracker has been interested in a career in the music industry since he was a young teenager with dreams of being a rap superstar, and at the early age of fourteen, he was exposed to the art of “Hustleâ€. The Carolina Cracker is determined not only to survive the poverty and seclusion of a small country town and dusty dirt roads, he insists on acquiring it all. He is determined to make the world notice that the woods and mountains of the South also have corners, hoods, streets, and respect for the game.
After facing some trouble with the law and spending 30 days in the county jail. He decided to leave his hometown of Burnsville in 1999 and set out on a mission to get his music out to the world. He had the opportunity to travel the country with the Rennaissance Festival and saw it as his way out. The Cracker traveled all across the country with the goal of networking with people in every facet of the music industry. He has returned home just recently, but is still pushing hard to make his dreams a reality.
And the journey continues.....
