This 21 year old artist hails from Baltimore, Maryland! CJ Hilton is a child of a gospel singer, so he was raised around music in the church. The following is an excerpt describing him, taken from his facebook artist page!A talented writer and producer in his own right, CJ plays multiple
instruments -- most of which he learned from his days in church -- and writes
most of his music. He draws from his experiences as well as those of his close
friends, with topics covering “women, to how hard it is being in Baltimore,
going to parties and having fun, just anything.”...CJ describes his sound as
“soulful but young.” While he cites influences such as Usher and R. Kelly, he
also admires old-school veterans like Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye, and he’s on
a mission to represent old soul from a young perspective. “I don’t feel like
there are any young soulful dudes, like Musiq Soulchild, John Legend -- I feel
like a lot of young cats are scared to do stuff like that. So I wanna be the
ringleader and make it happen.”
