Musical Style Twilight's music is packed with West Coast flavor. His laid-back voice, unique tone, speedy flows, and battle-style lyrics provide and excellent balance to his bangin' beats. Furthermore, Twilight's lyrics tell a story - sometimes about rap... sometimes about life. The lyrics are witty, entertaining, upbeat and create a connection with his audience. Couple that with fun melodies that people can dance and bob their heads to and you've got a recipe for success. Musical Background Twilight started rapping and performing at house parties at an early age. He realized he had talent for rap as crowds grew around him and applauded him after an impromptu performance at the Santa Monica Pier in Los Angeles County. "The crowd's response was positive and it made me feel really good," says Twilight. "It was like a high; it was energizing. I knew I was meant to do this." Soon, Twilight began lyrically battling anyone who challenged him. The streets began to buzz with word of his rap style and skills, and his reputation grew to the point where rappers and producers asked him to spit on tracks in the studio. Subsequently, Twilight was signed to Quality records, Neighborhood Records, and ultimately, Undermine Entertainment. Growing Up Like many other children from broken families, Twilight experienced the painful absence of his Father. But there were other circumstances that added to the difficulty of his childhood. Twilight grew up in Watts (South Central Los Angeles), where gangs, drugs, and violence were out of control. Twilight can remember fighting in the streets every day to protect his family. But the day finally came when he had to make a definitive choice: either live a life of misery or create a new one with hope. After seeing tears in his daughter's eyes, he chose the latter. Twilight was motivated to stop fighting and move out of Watts in search of a better life for his family. Twilight never gave up music. He kept writing and stuck with it. "I heard lyrics in my head every day. I believed that music was God-directed, and we only get so many chances, so I needed to take what I had and do it. The struggle in Watts gave me life experiences to write about and build upon and become a better person for my daughter and my family" . |
