Chris Gallucci better known as C.G. was born on April 20th 1989. Even though he was born and raised on the outskirts of Princeton, New Jersey, C.G. is not a stranger to the harsh realities of life. From losing his mother at the age of five months to battling issues with depression and anger, it can be said that his style of making beats reveal a lot about his dark past. However, C.G. has not allowed his hardships to slow him down; instead they have motivated him to work harder and improve his talents. As early as the eighth grade, C.G. began writing and then recording rhymes a year later to express himself. He then switched over to producing with original compositions in the tenth grade and started sampling as well a year later. From there it has been a long road but his love for making music has endured for over four years and he doesn’t plan to stop any time soon.
“I used to get a lot of hate and negative criticism when I started making music because not only was I not very good but my race was also an issue for some people. A white kid doing hip hop and wearing baggy clothes where I grew up was unheard of. However, I still stuck with it though all of the hate and now I’m happy with where I’m at; I couldn’t be happier. A lot of people I grew up with and know got involved in a lot of things your favorite thug or gangsta rappers might talk about; I chose a different route. I just realized that life style wasn’t for me and it’s not who I am. Music, hip hop to be specific, is the life style I chose.”
After graduating high school, C.G. enrolled at Rider University in Lawrenceville, NJ with no major in mind and no desire to be there. In the middle of the second semester, C.G. dropped out of college to pursue his music career even further.
“I was leaving classes early or not even showing up so I could make beats in my dorm room or even in my car or house after I moved out of the dorms. I was also buying a lot of my own stuff like groceries and phone cards; I was pretty much broke. Sometimes my friends or family would call me but my phone would be out of minutes and I didn’t have the time or money to refill it. It just got to a point where I felt like I was going crazy I just realized I wasn’t happy and had to do something else; it came down to either I do music or nothing.”
After leaving college, C.G. took a job at a local health food store stocking shelves until he could save enough money to attend the Institute of Audio Research (IAR) in New York to receive proper certification and education about music/sound engineering and business.
“I really had to push myself to get to where I’m at. I was working fulltime at next to minimum wage so I’d have enough money for my phone bill and all that while I’m in school. A lot of people I went to high school with didn’t have to worry about that but because I didn’t want to go to a traditional four year college, I had to work extra hard. Although I’ve always had family and friends and my girlfriend to support me mentally and financially, I still had to really push myself to pull through. I think that just proves to me this is what I’m meant to do.”
So far he has worked with dozens of aspiring and upcoming artists including Philly's R. Junior and the better known, Elus from the Bronx. Today, C.G. is currently enrolled in the Institute of Audio Research in New York City, hoping to become more familiar with the music industry. His dream is to become a successful music producer and audio engineer among many other goals he wishes to achieve within his career. In the meantime, C.G. is working with artists that can match his work ethic and bring his gritty east coast style of beats to life.
“Until I’m at the number one spot I’m not going to stop working hard. I’m just going to work harder till I get there. If there’s anything music has taught me, it’s how much hard work pays off and how you should follow your dreams and do whatever you’re passionate about; regardless of what anyone tells you. Do you and stay true to yourself and in the end everything will work out. Hip hop and all of the people around me have helped me change my life from being so negative to being a much more positive and happy person.”
