CJ Lawrence

Exposed to music at an early age both Kaleen and C. J. were driven to find their way into this industry. At age 4 Kaleen used to hear his grandfather's band and would sometimes go on the tours along with them and C. J. has been learning the game since an early age, having won his first talent show at the age of four. Needless to say the music bug bit the both of them and each traveled very different paths to wind up at the same place. Kaleen by way of Virginia and C. J. by way of Mississippi met by chance through a mutual friend and found respect in each others talents and unique approach to music. Because their visions come from two differing perspectives the result that they end with is always a unique blend of soul, struggle, and thoughtfulness and the result is always good. "Making music is not about Making Money, it is about being able to physically manifest whatever it is that is inside you into something that everyone on the outside can see, understand, identify with, and vibe to. Success for us is being recognized for your talent by your peers and that success is realized through collaboration and acknowledgment." We are ready for the world, let us help you take it to the next level. On another note we sell tracks at negotiable prices and are always looking for unique artists to collaborate with. We are currently working on 4 underground projects but always like to meet and work with new people. Some of our music can be heard at myspace.com/clmasterminds or you can email me at celawjr@gmail.com. I would really like to work with some alt/rock band types (like the linkin park/jay-z mashups)also would like to work with some female vocalists. I am open to working with good people from any genre. Also would like to work with a good pianist (classical or otherwise) with a taste for hip-hop, r&b, and soul music. I am registered w/ASCAP. Contact me only if you are serious and ready to take your music to the next level.
