Born D'Andre Johnson (the twin of D'Andrea Johnson) on September 6th 1988 in Madison, Wisnconsin. Him and his parents moved to Raleigh, North Carolina when he was only 2 months old. He always had a love for music. One of his earliest memories is of him beating on pots and pains on the kitchen floor. His parents always knew that he had talent, anything that they gave him, he would turn it into a musical instrument. Speaking of instruments, Cannonz has mastered three. Drums, Piano, and Guitar. When he was younger, his favorite instrument was the drums.Every christmas, his parents would get him newer and bigger drums. At first all through the house, the only thing you would hear from his room is loud, irrotating noise, but later on, that loud noise would start to turn into music. Every sunday morning at church, Cannonz would sit all the way in the front just to pay attention to the drummer. After Cannonz got a little bit older, him and his cousin was just fooling around one day, and recorded a song entitled "Bad Girls" the song isn't too good to this day, but at that time it was perfect coming from three pre-teens whos just beginning to rap. They liked the song so much that they played it for their whole family.Cannonz and his cousins haven't forgotten about that song, and decided to push it further than that and become rappers. His cousins are now known as Dee (18) and Scheme (19). Three years later, they dropped a mixtape "Main Event Presents..." with Cannonz behind the boards producing all of the beats...to be honest..it wasn't too good, but they needed to know where they stood at as rappers and what they needed to do to improve..Two years later they dropped another more official mixtape "Family Business vol.1" with Cannonz once again producing the whole project. The mixtape got much better reviews, and right then and there, Cannonz, Scheme, and Dee knew that they was gonna be in the game for a long time. One year later Cannonz dropped his first solo album. With guest appearences by Scheme, Black, and Jerz. It was on it's way to being a classic.Fastforward one year later bumping into Johnny G. trough his cousin, little did they know that they was going to be a group "Real City". Johnny found out that Cannonz produced music, and was interested in his beats...later on they began to work on an album together entitled "Real City". Dre Cannonz began to get recognition from many local underground rappers, and r&b singers for his music production skills. He was always rapping but kept it on the low, and when people found out about his rapping skills, pulled the Kanye West move on him and slept on him. Now he is bigger than ever, with his own team of artist who call themselves
