Memphis 'Beale Streeters' Music Legend's Grandson Launches Website, Prepares Solo Music Career
Online, June 13, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Most music careers begin with a fairly basic start, but not the case of rapper/singer and music producer Christopher Forest aka K.Le DaVincci, who has just launched his own website in preparation of his budding music career.
The grandson of highly uncovered drummer and singer Earl Forest, one of the legendary "Beale Streeters," an informal group of friends formed in the early 50's who played on each other's recordings and included music stars B.B. King, Bobby Bland, Johnny Ace, Junior Parker, and Rosco Gordon, is working on rebuilding a past due launched music career after accidentally losing his entire catalog of music productions to a studio mishap.
Having a music background with being the grandson of Beale Streeters untold legend Earl Forest, who played on several of B.B. King's famous sessions (including "Three O'Clock Blues") and who had a top 10 R&B hit in 1953 with "Whoopin' and Hollerin'," it is first not a surprise to Forest or others who learn of his talent for music.
Producing music from the age of 11, Forest didn't first take his talent or music serious until 2012, when seeing the potential of his city to regain it's music culture like in the days of his grandfather as labels like Stax Records and Sun Records placed Memphis and artists who frequented Memphis into the mainstream and national spotlight. This was a time when 'some of the greatest talent ever' came from Memphis or their connections with Memphis such as the likes of B.B. Kings, Al Green, The Bar-Kays, Otis Redding, Ike & Tina Turner, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Isaac Hayes, Bobby Bland, Junior Parker, Anita Ward, Rufus Thomas, Carla Thomas, and tons more.
Along with his own personal projects, at a young age, DaVincci has seen the fruits of hard work through his experiences working with the likes of the then young Memphis music group X-Camp, managed then by Jonathan M. McDonald, who allowed DaVincci to travel abroad while meeting the likes of Russell Simmons, Eminem, Ying-Yang Twins, Nelly and more during the group's short stint in the early 2000's, which dissolved over creative differences.
Now after gaining years of experience, K.Le DaVincci is taking his music serious, so it's quite natural that the music producer, in this day and age, launches online with a new website, www.kledavincci.com.
Meanwhile, the 29 yr-old DaVincci is in the process of rebuilding another music production catalog, while preparing for a solo studio project, coming soon.
The Easthaven bred rapper and producer, who grew up in the middle point of Whitehaven and the East side of Memphis, will be pushing the release of future music singles, following the launch of his new website www.kledavincci.com, among other work in progress including modeling and acting.
To compliment his music career and website, K.Le DaVincci will be offering visitors and fans access to his most recent work, as well as past promotional music works which include a catalog of over 10 mixtapes and promotional albums combined, available at his new website.
Though most of Forest's past work has been promotional, DaVincci who says he now takes the business side of music more seriously, plans to release a variety of mercantile projects and looks forward to building new work with artists on commercial productions.
"Lately, I've been working on my craft more so as a writer. I recently had an issue in the studio, files were deleted, songs erased and the whole scene was a mess, but everything has been taken care of and I'm more focused than ever to create the best product for my fans on a wider scale," states K.Le DaVincci in regards to his current and upcoming music projects.
DaVincci, before his studio mishap, had over 250+ productions to his credit, but now with a new website and a new outlook, plans to rebuild with this "fresh start."
"Actually I don't mind (like others who have famous or infamous families) that I may be viewed in the light or shadow of my grandfather, his story actually inspires me," states DaVincci.
It is no secret now that Christopher Forest aka K.Le DaVincci, grandson of Memphis "Beale Streeters" music legend Earl Forest, is ready to embark on a journey to continue the legacy which his grandfather was apart of building.
