Konfidenze, the Definition of an Emcee

Fresh up out a sophomore effort with sights set on his coming project, Konfidenze is hungry. His latest testament to the rap game, 'Quantum Leap' has been devoured by fans at shows, in the streets, and on the internet. And this was just the announcement of his solo career. 'Garage Band', a 25 track CD penned by Konfo and former NOLA resident Picasso, reached from Louisiana to Florida and all the way to New York. Hitting closer to home, he's been performing at venues such as Tipitina's, Tarantula Arms, Keystones, LSU, and Bottom Line, along with various venues in Slidell and Baton Rouge. As for his main focus, emphasis has been placed on spreading the music rather than making a profit. "Every performance, we try and get a CD to everybody. If we can't sell them at first, we give 'em away. If you don't want to pay for it, just hit us up on Myspace and we'll send it to your e-mail. We want you to hear it", said Konfo. Under the promotional wing of Chosen Enterprise, 'Lyrics of the South' will be debuting this fall. It will be a collaborative effort between TNC and Konfidenze. G Child Productions and Urban Noize Productions will play a part in the coming project.

Assembling his army, Konfo has begun to get the message out to unconquered territories while maintaining a stronghold in present markets. He has his sights set on areas surrounding NOLA, and states neighboring the beloved boot. Baton Rouge, Destrehan, and Lafayette are already hearing his music on the radio. His sound has even found its way to the airwaves as far as North Carolina and Virginia. But now he's seeking to spread his word throughout the gulf south. CDs, radio spins, and downloads aren't his only munitions. 'Quantum Leap' merchandise and Urban Noize t-shirts are spreading like viral marketing. And he's not stepping down from his point of command. "…I'm not the type of person to be like hey I want this on the radio. I want the people to decide." Konfo builds his namesake from experiences with the crowd, as well as key executives in the music industry. "I went to Dreammegaconference a while back at The Venue and spoke with Angie Howard from Koch Records. And she was telling me to just grind, grind, grind. Pretty much since that day, I've been taking it real serious", recalls the lyricist. His strategies have also included the ever crucial crossover appeal that many rappers hope to achieve. "I've been collabing with a band called Echo Theory. Pretty much after that I started getting hooked up with places that only wanted bands. They didn't really search for Hip Hop, so I would go in there and do my set with live instruments."

With two CDs to his credit, merchandise, performances to crowds of different genres, several producers and markets across the U.S., Konfidenze is building more than his namesake. He's building a legacy. And Neworleansmusicians.net will be there to chronicle every step. Hey Konfo, any shout outs? "Shout out to G Child Productions. Shout out to Jimmy the DJ, he got me on the Gangsta Gumbo Tour and on Gangsta Gumbo 1 and 2. Shout out to "Urban Noize", "Chosen Enterprises","The Cincinnati Monster",and Matt fom "Big Boot Radio". Shout out to my homie David at Neworleansmusicians.net, Chee and KT from Chosen Enterprises and my homie Geramie Pierce, who takes care of all my media and promotion.... This is real music, check it out. I'm the definition of an emcee."
