About Royalty - The Dream begins 1.15.07 Born as a Peasant
/ Live as a King / Die as a God Royalty - "A person of a higher
ranking, "A person of Class & Privilege" The definition
explains it all when you speak of this young man, and his
accomplishments. His story, is one filled with dedication, and will
to succeed. Overcoming several obstacles throughout his life.
Royalty's journey began at the early age of 14. Like many other
artists in his genre, Royalty comes from a single-mother household.
Raised in the Lower-Middle Class area of San Jose, CA. Royalty was
faced with a lot of difficult challenges. Never being one to follow
the others, Royalty decided to choose his own path. While other
children his age were striving to become young athletes, Royalty
was secretly becoming a musician. His love for music began very
early in his life, his mother bought him his first Walkman when he
was only 9 years old. From that day forward, Royalty was always
scene wearing his headphones, singing along word for word with
every song you could possibly imagine. Shortly after, he began to
develop, and sing the words to his own songs. All of his notebooks
began to fill up with new lyrics & song ideas, And less with
schoolwork. Royalty became less, and less interested with school,
and more focused on music. His mother became extremely concerned
with his grades, and trouble in school. But unlike most parents,
Royalty's Mother did not take his music away, in fact she actually
gave him the greatest gift of his life. As a bargaining option, His
mother bought him a Karaoke machine, that he could use only when
his homework was completely finished. Royalty would spend hours and
hours in his room perfecting his craft and recording material. He
started to release cassettes, of his recordings to his friends in
his neighborhood, and associates at school. After receiving great
reviews from his peers on his music, Royalty wanted more. He began
to experiment with a more universal sound, and style. Stepping out
of the shadows of "Gangster Rap", and into a more commercial
market. Royalty quickly noticed his fan base spreading from his
neighborhood to more suburban areas. In 2006, Royalty was truly
created. This was his breakthrough year, gaining over 100,000 fans
in a 8 month period. Royalty was introduced to a man by the name of
"Rasheed Richmond". The brilliant mind behind the success of Cassie
& her Myspace movement. Rasheed saw a lot of talent, and
potential in the young hungry artist. He invited Royalty down to
his home in Malibu, CA. Where in his words he gave Royalty the
"Keys to the Kingdom". Rasheed spent a lot of time helping, and
developing Royalty, and his marketing. Rasheed would constantly
stress the importance of Myspace, and the opportunities that come
to the "top artist". Royalty then returned to the bay area hungry,
and eager to succeed. Royalty began to take on Myspace as if it
were a full-time job. He was contacting everyone he could come
across, building his fan base, and spreading the word of him and
his music. Royalty began to create Remix's to hot and popular songs
that were big on Myspace. His first remix recording's were to
Cassie's - "Me & You", And Rihanna's - "Unfaithful". Let's just
say the "Unfaithful Remix" blew up! Receiving over 900,000 plays on
myspace before finally retiring the song from his music player. The
song was creating a heavy buzz that moved quickly from Myspace to
the streets. KYLD, the Bay Area's biggest rhythmic radio station,
began receiving numerous calls, and requests for the new
"Unfaithful Remix". The station became curious of the record, and
asked listeners where they could find the song. Listeners directed
the DJ's of the station to Royalty's Myspace page, where the song
was receiving over 1,000 downloads, and 20,000 plays per day.
Impressed by the movement this new artist had created, KYLD
approached Royalty, and offered to test the song on air. KYLD
played the record, and the request lines went crazy. The next day
the unofficial "Unfaithful Remix" became the number one song on the
station's countdowns. Beating out bay area legends such as E- 40
& The Federation, who both had released new singles at that
time. KYLD actually took Rihanna's "Unfaithful" out of rotation,
and would only play the Royalty remix. Word about the remix spread
quickly around radio, and other stations began to pick up on it as
well. The remix was receiving solid play on over 30 radio stations
across the U.S. Starting in the Bay area, and reaching locations as
far as New York, and Florida. The remix held the number 1 spot on
KYLD for 3 months solid. The remix opened the door for Royalty,
allowing him to showcase some of his own music to the station. They
began to play his first solo single "Dreams" witch climbed the
charts quickly making it to number 2 on the countdowns, and holding
the spot for weeks. Royalty then came back with the hit single
"Lollipop", witch he released on the Internets biggest record pool,
Digiwaxx. The song was rated a 4 out of a 5, by over 1,000 DJ's
from all over the world. The results were in "Lollipop" is a hit!
Besides receiving radio, and club spins the song created a huge
buzz on Myspace. Royalty currently has another single titled "San
Jose" witch is starting to pick up rotation. Thank you for your
