JOURNALIST LEONARD

Q. What is your name and what city do you rep?

Cmazin is a RnB / Hip-Hop artist out of Staten Island, NY. Who just recently relocated to Orlando to continue his artistry and to continue expanding his brand “THE GOLDEN WAY”

Q. Tell us about your latest releases, what inspired you to create them? What is unique about you and your music?

I recently released  latest single “NOT FOR ME” on May 6th.

This track embodies all the obstacles Cmazin faces in his life journey. From losing friends, to facing criticism as an RnB/Hip-hop artist of this era, from having to constantly protect himself from the same group of people who’s suppose to take care of this city… police , to even dealing with constant heartbreak. Yet again Cmazin delivers a track directly speaking to his fans that these situations don’t define us. They make us. Even if we are presented with situations like these, he teaches us that manifesting that these obstacles are ‘Not For Me’ can really help overcome them.

My fans have been waiting for a track like this, since the release of “CURSED ONES”  back in January 2022, Cmazin has made it clear to his fans that not everything in the spot light is always made out to be glamorous. As a Gemini himself, he believes there will always be two sides to everything, two stories, two decisions and two very different outcomes.

What makes Cmazin so unique is that each fan can listen to my music and feel as though I am  in the room directly speaking to them. It’s an inspiration to watch an artist like himself completely reveal all those demons that hunt him and yet be so transparent with how he’s coping with them and how I plan to attack them. You can definitely say that my music delivers words of strength to my fan base, constantly turning those who are weak into soldiers.

With such an impact to the culture , I have decided to deliver to my fans exactly what they’ve been waiting for. New releases every Friday. The wait Is over and now fans can really experience the new culture of music that Cmazin will be dropping.

Q. When did you realize you were going to make music professionally?

It all started back in middle school, when Cmazin was asked to perform in the talent show. “Man in the Mirror” by the legendary Michael Jackson. With a standing ovation he realized that this is what made his blood pump, this is the life he knew was meant for him. And from there is where it all started. His experience have led him to sell out shows all over New York and he even opened up for very known artist and became New York’s HOT 97’s “UP NEXT ARTIST” of 2021.

Q. What type of music do you listen to?

CMAZIN’s playlist is mainly made up of  music. I believe in order to make my dreams come true I have to be my number one fan. Now I do have legends I aspire to be like especially when it comes to this industry. Artist such as Michael Jackson, J.cole, and Drake really inspire me to move diligently.

Q. What inspires you to write music?

I have  had a hard life and nothing has come easy for him. My music is a reflection of just that. My struggle and my accomplishments. I hope that I can connect with people who faced the same obstacles as me and hopefully help them turn their struggles into accomplishments too.

Q. What do you do when you don’t do music (creative or otherwise) and that you are passionate about?

As I continue to develop my artistry, I am also taking the time to develop his brand “THE GOLDEN WAY”. As the CEO, My mission is to showcase to the world that we can all live “Golden” and what better way to do that then with GOLDEN apparel for every season set to launch Summer 2022!

Besides being artistically involved in the industry, I am also a well known Real Estate Investor. I created “Your Golden Properties LLC” to invest in properties such as homes and even commercial properties. I also connect with other investors on locating distress properties for fix and flips.

Q. What do you wish you were told when you first started making music that you think would help artists just starting out?

Be consistent , block out negativity, know your worth and stay independent.

If you do the following, you’ll rise as an artist in any genre.

Q. Where do we find you music / music projects?
