1. How did you come up with your stage name?
My artist Name “Jaye Cane” Came from my actual name Which to be left untold “Evil Grin” But that’s how I came up with it. I just abbreviated my name Management at the time was 75south ent Told me it would be a better fit for crossing over to modeling and movies while doing music. My 1st artist Name was “Six City” now that has a more detailed meaning. Which the story will be in my book “From under a freeway bridge to music” 2015.
2. What made you want to get into the music lifestyle?
My family “Top floor studios” also my cousin which was killed execution style taught me how to write music. And make a complete song his name was T.A da Wiz which later my step pops at the time named the studio “Ziwat records” which is T A Wiz spelled backwards.
Also a few other artist such as Stricklin of the famous group “EMC” and Trock had a part in molding me musically! Now who gave me my style and push was a friend I went to high school with and also let me crash his place when I had no where to go my brother and friend “P hollins” known as “BUCK” who is now one of the top battle rappers in the Midwest region to this day.
