Today we’d like to introduce you to Cedric Alford
Hi Cedric, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I grew up going through so many trials and tribulations, while at the same time trying to find my identity being born as an identical twin. I always used my adversity to my advantage,
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
To me I never had a smooth road. Why because I was always getting kicked out of my parents house for doing dumb shit I had no business doing, for example smoking weed around the outside of the house, staying out late when I was young, talking back to my parents and etc. Being homeless at such a young age, in a way, forced me to align with my ultimate purpose, which is creating music. After so many doors being slammed in my face, I eventually realized the only path that I could walk confidently in this life, is the only craft that makes me equally as happy as those that I create it for. Notoriety is a great thing, but at the end of the day I am content having the opportunity to put my life onto these soundtracks that know will someday affect someone else’s life.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
Though this might be a cliché way to describe my art, but it truly does imitate my life. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t write a song, a chorus, or at least a melody.
What was your favorite childhood memory?
I remember being 4 or 5 years old and hearing Lil Wayne’s “The Block is Hot” for the first time. I remember being completely entranced by his cadence and delivery. It was something distinctly special about that moment. The feeling inside of me was so much more than admiration, he made me feel like I could do the same thing one day.
