Thabz C Thursday 5 - Leaving California

Thabz C releases Arrival Time to rave reviews!

Thabz C emigrated from Zambia to North America with his family when he was 3 months old. He spent a good portion of his childhood in Vancouver, B.C. and Los Angeles before his family moved to Nashville, Tennessee. Thabz C was a clever young man learning street smarts at a very early age. He used to trade bottle caps for candy at the local grocers revealing a negotiators attitude and the know how to get things done. 

Music became part of Thabz Cs life during middle school where he studied music starting with piano and alto saxophone. That took him to joining an a cappella choir in high school where he learned a lot about vocal melody and harmony. He was eager to absorb much of what his environment allowed him and music mixing software became an interesting concept to him. He eventually combined beat making software and music mixing software and was hooked from that point forward. He honed in on hip-hop and what developed is the creation of some of the best hip-hop music on the market. 

His initial EP release in 2007 was Lyrics of the Dead Army: The Early Years. It was collaboration with a Nashville MC called Mastermind. That same year he joined a band called Bulk Delish whose style had a rock edge with a pop likeability to it. The group disbanded in 2009 and Thabz C became a solo artist, bringing his great signature hip-hop sounds to the airwaves.

Thabz Cs latest project Arrival Time with lead single Club Scene is a prime example of this style. The theme of this single is unity, being with your friends and complete strangers and enjoying the club scene. This song is freeing, joyful, fresh and carries a real hot beat that makes you want to get on your feet and dance. This is only one sampling, one style. You will also experience live instrumentation of keyboards, drums, bass and guitar along with the highest caliber of mixing skills that have delivered some of the best hip-hop music to date. The energy of this LP revolves around the summer time when people are more laid back and enjoying the warm season and the fun that comes along with that. His music is current, memorable, radio friendly, club friendly and sustainable in the music industry.
