JC Cannegieter
started making music at the age of 13.
What inspired him was when he found out His real parents passed away
when he was only 2 weeks old. His father shot his mother and shot
himself while he was in the car.
The bullet shots of his parents murder really damaged his hearing
making him almost deaf and led to speaking problems until he was about
9.
He always thought his adopted parents were his birth parent but
at the age of 13 he found out the truth and the news hit him really
hard . JC had a real difficult time growing up with family
problems and alot of deaths of friends. This was another
motivater for him to get into music and really made him wanna do
something with his life .
JC's home life had got very terribile and destructive
By now, the only thing that kept JC sane and progressing forward was
the hope of doing big things in the music industry and the chance to be a
positive influence to his
listeners through his music.
JC says music was an outlet for him, a way to express himself. He
finally left all that negativity behind by getting his own place at the
age of 17 to help him better pursue a music career.
Considering all the problems he was having with his family and home
life, He had
learned to play the guitar and the piano at the age of 16. This took it
to the next level and he started creating beats and lyrics for himself
and other artists. It was during this time that JC learned to produce
and mix songs and started singing at 17. He then started releasing demos and writing a lot more music.
Less then a year later, all of his hard work had paid
off which had landed him offers by major record companies. The only
problem was that JC felt that the music industry was too manufactured
because most artist don't even write thier own material.
Major record companies wouldn't let him write his own songs and wanted
him to be a puppet on a string in the industry. So he decided to turn
down all his offers to do his own thing. Regardless of how hard things
were fi he refused to sell out even when half million dollar
record contract offers were on the table.
JC says "I sold things at the pawn shop just so I could eat
and make it through another day when I could of easily just took the
money and fame but.. You cant pay me enough to change who I am "
He is currently working on his first CD, which is expected to be complete
in late June of 2010
Although Most people thought JC was foolish to turn down what many
would call a once in a life time opportunity with the major labels, He
believed what he was doing was right
Recently JC
was featured on the may issue of blender
magazine. Where they called JC the biggest unsigned artist and
praised his morals for not selling out. Shortly after getting an
articile in Beat
magazine a
popular european magazine to become internationally famous . His song
hollywood got so huge it made it as back ground music in serveral mtv
and vh1 tv shows. Due To his website getting over 4 million hits a
month The future of This unsigned artist looks very promising.
