Driana: Scorpio Moon Goddess

“[He] Exceeded my expectations, justified my dreams/ Doubts and inhibitions torn from their seams/ Gave my life to you, now I live, no regret/ Cast myself in[to] the sea, caught a star in my net/ Never knew my dream, could go this far/ Fell from a cloud, landed on a star” - "Starlight"

Underground warrior—Driana is ¾ African American and ¼ Apache Indian who was born in Little Rock, Arkansas and now resides in Memphis, Tennessee where she hopes to spread her wings in the music industry.

Underground emcee/singer Driana has been spitting verses for three years and she is an artist that stays true to herself within her music and has a variety of inspirations in the music industry including Rapper and American Idol judge Nicki Minaj and hip hop veterans Jay-Z and Eminem.

Driana states, “Eminem's Marshall Matters LP, Jay-Z's American Gangster album, and Nicki Minaj's Beam Me Up Scottie showed me I could have a voice in the genre”.

This future hip hop mogul uses her craft in a similar setting as the artists that have inspired her by getting personal with her fans. Because of how personal her lyrics are she does not like the taste of criticism, but is a champion that can take anything that comes her way.

She states, “I hate criticism about my lyrics because I'm so personally invested in every word. Every word is true. But I put on my big girl panties and take my criticism like a woman”.

This future superstar uses her voice to let the world get a sneak peek of her life and to tell her story relating all of her lyrics to true events that occur in her life.

“I want to take people on the emotional roller coaster that is my life. I want to show them what I see,” she says.

Not only does Driana stand out through her lyrics, but she also experiments with different melodies and doesn’t adapt to a particular type of sound exploring different types of genres that help her extend her fan base.

Driana says, “I don't create according to genre. I try to let my guard down and give what I've got inside of me. If people feel it, cool. If they don't, it's for me anyway.”

This underground queen offers music something that is different than the average musician and she tells a different story than what people are used to hearing. She’s a passionate rapper that takes her listeners on a journey through her feelings and her journey of becoming a woman.

“I have a different story that I'm telling. I'm not trying to portray any image. I just do music for myself, music that is a snap shot of my emotions at that moment. Sometimes, I get ratchet. Sometimes, I'm emotional and vulnerable, “ says Driana.

This success driven artist doesn’t mind having to get her hands dirty to reach her goals in life and hopes to one day get a record deal and touch millions with her music and to grab the industry by its reigns and take the world by storm.

Carly Paige is a 15-year-old inspiring singer, song writer, pianist, and guitarist from Phoenix, Arizona. The adorable long-haired blonde has a soft voice that is soothing to the ears and she has been singing since she could walk and she started writing songs at the age of ten years old after she got her first guitar noticing that she had a true talent.

"My Dad is a writer, singer, and guitar player and he taught me a few chords when I was little but I kind of just taught myself from there," Paige states.

The future pop sensation not only plays instruments, but she is always in the song writing mood and she writes what comes to her and is inspired by many life events and observations.

 Paige explains, "I use to just write songs about the sun and the moon and stuff like that and now I write about relationships, not just my own though. Everything I observe and experience is inspirational."

Paige is often compared to Grammy Award winning singer Taylor Swift, but Paige definitley displays her own uniqueness and individuality.

The very first song that Carly Paige wrote was a song entitled "Happy to Be", which is about enjoying life and its surroundings.

Paige soon realized that her talent could potentially become a lifestyle and career choice. To get her name out into the world she competed in a local competition in her home state, Arizona called "Chicks With Picks".

Paige states, "Chicks With Picks is an organization that helps female musicians get seen and heard. It's so cool! And everyones so sweet!"

Not only has Carly Paige entered this competition, but she won it along with winning first place in her high school talent show.

"The Chicks With Picks Competition was the first competition I'd ever been in. In the middle of it though, I competed in the school talent show," states Paige.

Not only has Paige participated in competitions, but she also performs at venues all across Arizona and has posted her music on her YouTube channel. Some of the songs she has performed live are "Worthless", "Further with It", and "Just Imagine".

Paige says, "I've played a few times at Next Coffee Company, I've played a few times at a place called Fiddler's Dream, I played a few songs at a car auction, I played at an event called Kidstock last year, I've played at Taps a few times, I've played at Harolds in Cave Creek a few times, I played at the Compound Grill (which sadly just closed) and at the Wigwam during the 1st few rounds for the Chicks With Picks competition, and I just played at Chickstock."

Carly Paige is on her way to stardom, recording in studios in Los Angeles, California working with multiple producers and co-writing songs with them.

"I’ve written with Emanuel Kirakou, Lindy Robbins, Jess Cates, Carmen Key, Ashley Gorley, Brad Wood and Ben Lee, Sy Rhys Kaye, Anne Preven, Tim Pagnotta, Drew Pearson, Ian Kirkpatrick, and John Alagia," she says.

Carly Paige is definitely a name that the world will hear again in the near future because her talent has no limitations and will take her far in her musical career and in life.

How to Become a Successful Rapper

Nowadays it seems like everyone and their mother wants to join the chain of being a rap idol, but going from being an underground artist to becoming a hip hop superstar can be nearly impossible if the right steps aren’t taken to make big things happen.

   Make Good Music, Obviously: If you have been told you suck multiple times and no one downloads your music maybe you should try a different career path. However, there is a difference between being told you suck and having haters. There is a HUGE difference!!!!

Don’t Be Like Everyone Else: Thinking outside of the box and giving listeners something different from other rappers will make you stand out and it will give people something they never heard before. How do you think Tupac became a legend? Don’t try to duplicate other artist’s careers. We don’t need another Nicki Minaj or another Wale. They already stand out. Give the people something NEW!

Collaborate With Everyone You Can: Collaborating is a great way of networking because if you collaborate with people that are well known you can gain a bigger fan base. Also, collaborating with people of different genres can help you as well.  Even opening up for other underground musicians can help get your name out there.

Use Social Media: Social media is the wave of the future and it is a great tool to use to connect with other musicians and to promote yourself. Post links to different songs, mixtapes, YouTube videos, etc. to get your name and your music out in the open for people to grasp. Both Facebook and Twitter are a necessity because they offer what each other lacks. There is no limit of characters on Facebook and you can’t make fan pages on Twitter. Twitter allows you to use hash tags to make it easier for people to see your links and it allows you to increase followers.

Build Up a Team: It’s not always what you know it’s who you know and by having the right connections you can build up your brand.  If you don’t have time to tweet or post on Facebook find someone that does and that can constantly update things for you or use www.HootSuite.com which can send tweets or update your Facebook for you when you aren’t able to.

Do Covers of Songs:  By doing covers of songs you can tag the name of the original song and original artist in the video, so yours will come up and you can subtweet it. The more exposure the better.

Perform at Venues: Research the web to find out where you can go and perform, so people can get a feel for your energy and your music.

Promote Yourself or get a Promoter: T-shirts, flyers for upcoming performances, spreading the word about events all help get the word out about what you are trying to do

Freestyle Battle: Not everyone can freestyle, but if you can and you know a hot spot where you can find someone to battle you and another person to beat box, you should get a crowd together and battle it out. 

 Practice Makes Perfect: Practice to perfect your craft and to be the best at what you do, success requires a lot of patience and hard work be willing to work hard and to keep believing in yourself and your craft.

Everything I posted is legit these are not things that I just pulled out the “Wa-Zu”, these are things that I have researched and found that they can be beneficial. Of course I put things in my own words and put my own spin on them, but this will help you.  P.S. I haven’t got my Communications degree yet, so I am not going to give you information that I just came up with. Hope this helps J!

Tru Guidry Spits the Truth

Tru Guidry--a name given by his uncle because of he is an honest person-- is an underground rapper straight out of Phoenix, Arizona. He's been rapping since age ten and really got serious about becoming a rap sensation at age 15.

He gets into his zone by freestyling over a beat with his team before he starts writing future hit records. "I chewed the instrumental and I gave that," he states.

Now he is making music that gets people hyped by switching up his flows and by making each verse of every song sound different no matter the tempo of the beat.

Guidry is inspired by a lot of different rappers from newcomers to hip-hop veterans. "I'd have to say Tupac, Drake, Meek Mill, and 50 Cent.... due to the fact they all make good music and it's different from everybody and I fall in that category because I do the same," Guidry states.

The young emcee works hard to make sure that he is well promoted and gets people to jump on the Tru Guidry bandwagon. He's done 10-12 shows in his hometown and has two mixtapes out entitled "J. Guidry (The Mixtape) and "No Regrets" (The Mixtape).

According to Guidry, he is a one of a kind and is different from other rappers in the music game.  He states, "I'm so different, I don't just make music for what people want to hear, I also make my music whether people like it or not. I have my own sound and only a fan can point it out."

Guidry continues to grind in his music and is very open to collaborating with other underground Emcees as well as long as they are "on their A Game, Doing them and not trying to sound like the new rappers on TV," says Guidry.

When he gets a record deal he has many goals that he hopes to achieve. He has  dreams of collaborating with musicians such as Wale, Nicki Minaj, Mos Def, 50 Cent, Meek Mill, Drake as well as other rappers killing the hip hop game.  The future mogul wants to drop 10 albums, 15 mixtapes and step into the acting world as well.

Guidry plans to change the rap game by being true to himself and by not trying to mimic what other rappers do. The future rap star hopes to get rich by doing what he loves to do and to remain humble as an artist.

One thing that's safe to say about Guidry is that he will always "Do Him" that's the motto.
