The Weekly Deuce~Kavalon Experience

March 2012 Interview; From www.kalasolmusic.com: Im introducing to you Kalasol from the west coast. (WWW.KALASOLMUSIC.COM) Born and raised in Oakland, California (known as the bay area) is where Kalasol learned his life valuable lessons. He describes the era that he lived in as a time when a black male growing up...you weren't sure if you were going to make it to see a certain age. Being that he spent the majority of his time with his grandmother it gave him the opportunity to see both sides of a different class of living. One side he saw where people had the means to afford a comfortable living (Suburban Parental upbringing) and the other side showed him where people were willing to do anything to get what they needed, whoever they had to get it. He once was street dealer until he had a great eye opener; when a family member walked up to him to buy drugs on the corner of which he stood .Even though he had a legit job outside of dealing. He found himself in situations where people were people had nothing and had nothing to lose. When asked how he got into the music business he replied “One thing about music is I was always attracted to the powers of words and its influence", says Kalasol. He also states that hip hop grabbed him at an early age and he was influenced by it. Kalasol has been doing music for nearly ten years now. Music became a way for him to do different things and was an expression of power. A friend in the neighborhood had a studio (Basement Records Oakland Ca, E.B.H. group) they had done some investments in the equipment and given Kalasol a chance to shine and he was able to express his talent musically. http://www.reverbnation.com/kalasol <-- Kalasol on reverbnation @Kalasol <-- on Twitter Kalasol on Reverbnation: Kalasol on Youtube href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zn87Y3j6oWk"> class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
