BIGscene.tv recently
caught up with Newcastle's very own Aaron James Cashell. The Soul & R'nB singer performed his own
versions of Stevie Wonder's Lately and Aloe Black's I Need A Dollar, both of
which can been seen on the site. After
his performance we sat down and asked him a little bit about himself.
How long have you
been singing for and how did you start?
I am trying to think of a none cliche answer?? I have been singing since i was bout 11 maybe
12 years old. Music was never a massive
thing in my house , my dad was a pro
boxer so it was more sports then anything else,
people ask how did i get into music and i have no answer to that…It just
seem to happen..
Which genres do you
enjoy singing most?
I am a soul man i love anything with soul.. I will sing any genre tho aslong as it good
music and fun to do!!!
We recently saw you
give a great performance when you supported Bashy in Middlesbrough. How important are live performances for
singers?
Thank you,, well if you have seen me live then it will be no
secret to how much fun i have on stage.. it really does make me extremely
happy.. so singing live and i mean LIVE
is extremly important. the job of an
entertainer is to entertain.. we should
be in pain after each show just so we know we done are best to make the show
value for money..
You have collaborated
with artists such as Jamilah in the past.
Do you have any other interesting collabs coming up in the future?
1st things first I love Jamilah my best female friend
amazing girl…Yeah I have a collab with UK super producer Mark Hill aka Artful
(aka Artful Dodgers) which is insane amazing I mean this is the man that
started Craig David produced his Born To Do IT Album,, its going to be an Epic Collab
How did the
collaboration with US rapper Murphy Lee come about?
The Murphy Lee collab came reality beacuse of the magic of
social networking i had a beat from my USA friends Drone Beats and Heathen and
i heard Murphy Lee on it straight away so I tweeted and messaged and tweeted
and messaged untill he check out my music and agreed to the collab altho we
planned to release it in UK the label that took on the task decided to shelf it
which was a kick in the man parts but thats the business sometimes things like
that happen..
If you could sing on
any producers beat who would it be?
Thats a good question.. I really like Alex Da Kid, Jerry Wonder, Mark
Hill the list goes on but I so so so want to work on a Missy track she is just
increadable.. To be honest if you are an up and coming producer or a grammy
legend aslong as you have great beat I will work with anyone as long as we make
good music i am as happy as a pig in a mud haha
When it comes to Rick Fury we expect not to be disappointed - and with his latest album we’re not! Fist of Fury is a 20 track CD currently available to buy from RPM Records in Newcastle or online via Killamari/Bandcamp (see link below). We are used to hearing Rick lace that raw Hip Hop and Fist of Fury has plenty of it, but it also showcases Rick’s ability to flow on some more chart friendly music such as the beats for 3peat and Beamer, Benz or Bentley. The CD feature: The Click, Chattabox , ADS, Deej, Lazer, Layla Lu & Gaz Shanksy. The CD sells for only £5 – plenty of bang for your buck!
