Exclusive Interview With British-born Rapper Cavalli Don

In today’s interview, we are going to introduce Cavalli Don, a British-born rapper, singer, songwriter, and entrepreneur. He paints a clear picture taking you on a story with each breath he puts on a track. He is a very versatile artist who is always aiming to improve and master his craft. Keep an eye out! We had the opportunity to talk with Cavalli Don about his career path, journey in music, and many more.

Check out his response;

  1. Can you tell us a story about what brought you to this specific career path?

 

I’ve always had a keen ear for music. I’ve loved music since I was a young boy. Tupac and Michael Jackson where my first favourite artists. 

I was inspired by Styles P, Dipset (Cam’ron/Juelz/Jim Jones) & 50 Cent to start doing music. 

The lifestyle, cars, jewelry, and overall swag of hip-hop caught my eye.

  1. Can you share the most interesting story that happened to you since you started this career?

 

The most interesting part of my story so far is when I was out shopping in Harrods, which is a high-end mall in Knightsbridge, London; Two young guys came up to me quoting my lyrics. It threw me off for a second because it’s the first time it’s happened, but I can get used to this. 

 

  1. Can you share a story about the funniest mistake you made when you were first starting? Can you tell us what lesson you learned from that?

 

The first-ever time I performed was a week after I wrote my first lyrics, at 15/16yrs old, and I forgot my lyrics on stage. It was embarrassing, to say the least lol. Practice and Rehearse, is what I learned from that.

  1. What are some of the most interesting or exciting projects you are working on now?

 

At the moment I am on the verge of completing the SickEmSzn E.P with VIP. This is a very exciting project for me as we are introducing a new flavor and sound to UK rap and we are eager to see how people react to it. The music videos are also going to reminisce the exciting early 2000s Hip-Hop era, with mind-blowing creativity and storylines, etc. 

 

  1. Who are some of the most interesting people you have interacted with? What was that like? Do you have any stories?

 

The most interesting person I have interacted with has to be VIP. When we start doing interviews and VLOGS, you guys will be able to see why. The guy is a legend lol.

  1. Which tips would you recommend to your colleagues in your industry to help them to thrive and not “burn out”?

 

Always make sure you’re having fun when recording music. Once the fun and the spark goes, is when the problems start. Having creative control over your career is a must. 

 

  1. You have been blessed with success in a career path that can be challenging. Do you have any words of advice for others who may want to embark on this career path, but seem daunted by the prospect of failure?

 

Failure is reserved for those who try, don’t succeed, and stop trying. You need to have grit and be relentless in life if you are trying to be successful in an industry with a lot of competition. Just keep going and do your best every day. And your “Team” is everything. 

 

  1. Can you share with our readers any self-care routines, practices, or treatments that you do to help your body, mind, or heart to thrive? Kindly share a story or an example for each.

 

I train a lot. I’m highly into gym, martial arts, and being athletic so I always try to stay in the gym and sharpen my tools. I go to the sauna/steam room at least once a week too.

  1. What are your “5 things I wish someone told me when I first started” and why? Please share a story or example for each.

 

  1. It’s competitive. 
  2. Stay consistent with the music release. 
  3. Stay in the studio. 
  4. Marketing and networking are everything. 
  5. Work on your brand. 

 

  1. Can you please give us your favorite  “Life Lesson Quote”? Can you share how that was relevant to you in your life?

 

“Life by Design”. Try to live a life that is suitable to what you believe in and what you enjoy. I always try to make sure I got a lot of good things that I enjoy happening in my life, not just overload myself with work-related stress. 

 

  1. None of us are able to achieve success without some help along the way. Is there a particular person who you are grateful towards who helped get you to where you are? Can you share a story about that?

 

I’m particularly grateful to my bro VIP for always staying solid and sticking to the plan over the years. We haven’t even achieved anywhere near what we want at the moment, but to get here there has been a lot of challenges that could have made either of us turn our back on the mission. I’m just grateful that he stayed true to what we set out to do.

  1. You are a person of enormous influence. If you could start a movement that would bring the most amount of good to the most amount of people, what would that be? You never know what your idea can trigger. 🙂

 

I think right now social media has a stigma having a lot of hate/trolls and negativity. If I could start any movement, it would be to make people understand the power of being positive and pushing positive narratives on our social platforms. I believe it will do a lot of good. 

 

  1. We are very blessed that some of the biggest names in Business, VC funding, Sports, and Entertainment read this column. Is there a person in the world, or in the US with whom you would love to have a private breakfast or lunch, and why? He or she might see this. 🙂

 

At this stage of my life, I’d want to have a private breakfast/lunch with Gucci Mane. His understanding of music, his entrepreneurial endeavors, and the story itself are very intriguing. He’s also managed to stay relevant in an industry that changes a lot, for many years. So there’s a lot of pressing questions and ideas I’d like to discuss with him.

Mamas Gun and Brian Jackson shines light on the truth on latest release “DIG!”

Mamas Gun

Mamas Gun makes a strong comeback with their new single “DIG!.” The track sounds more like a strong statement of intent than just a release. The UK band is known for its smooth blend of blue-eyed soul and traditional black music. They show once again that they can make music that sounds both thoughtful and very new, while still being real, emotional, and sophisticated.

“DIG!” was recorded directly onto analogue tape, and every note has warmth, grit, and soul. The production choice gives the music a rich, natural sound that complements the band’s unique groove. It is a piece of music that makes people slow down, really listen, and experience it rather than hear it.

Adding famous collaborator Brian Jackson, whose vocals, keyboard, and flute give the song a timeless elegance, adds even more depth and magic. Jackson is known for working with artists such as Stevie Wonder, Gil Scott-Heron, Roy Ayers, and Earth, Wind & Fire. His addition makes the song something truly special. His reunion with Andy Platts, the lead singer of Mamas Gun, almost twenty years after they first worked together creatively in New York, gives “DIG!” a very personal touch that can be felt throughout. “DIG!” sets a strong mood based on connection, art, and essence. Mamas Gun not only goes back to their roots but also makes them stronger. This song is heartfelt, timeless, and completely captivating.

Bromsen crafts a suspension between attachment and release in new single “Concendrain”

Bromsen

Bromsen’s latest release, “Concendrain,” is very immersive and lives in the space between control and disintegration. The song smoothly shifts from focused to tired, from connected to free, and captures a complex emotional balance that is both personal and universal.

“Concendrain” starts slowly and carefully, the structure has layers that change over time, so each part can come out on its own without any stress or hurry. As time goes on, electronic textures begin to emerge, giving the music a mood that eventually turns into rock-infused energy. These different sounds don’t clash, they work together to create a track that is alive, fluid, and always changing.

The guitar, voice, and rhythm should all work together on the song. These parts don’t compete for attention; instead, they work together to make a smooth flow that pulls the listener into the song’s emotional depth. The arrangement features vocals that complement complex guitar lines and a steady beat that keeps everything in line.

“Concendrain” is really interesting because it has two sides. The track is about the fight in your head between giving up and pushing through, and between staying focused and giving in to tiredness. Bromsen and Reatsch work together to make something that looks natural and well-made. “Concendrain” doesn’t try to be cool or follow trends. Instead, it gives you a slow experience that you should really pay attention to. “Concendrain” is a powerful and thought-provoking work that sticks with you long after the last note has faded away. It stands out because its structure changes, its atmosphere is rich, and its emotions are strong.
