Back and Next - Back and NextWHAT’S ON: MoeBlac finishes promotional tour
Friday, September 5, 2008
MoeBlac, aka Muhammed Mbowe, is a 23 year-old Gambian singer based in the United States of America. He has just finished his promotional video for his forthcoming album Ready & Focus which he produced exclusively at his own studio. After living in Norway for four years, the young star traveled back to The Gambia in 1992. MoeBlac later on traveled to the US where he has been living for the past 14 years.
Born to Yasin & Alhagie Mbowe, Moe is the eldest of 5 kids, all of whom live with their parents in Atlanta,Georgia. Moe does not only rap but is also into video production and photography in which he majored. Moe is now working at Saidou's Photography and Video Production on the southside of Atlanta.
Like most of those who travel out of the country at an early age, Moe's immaturity led him into a lot of trouble and turmoil as he had the wrong friends whose lifestyle influenced him.
According to him, it is never too late to correct oneself after you notice or realise your mistakes. “Similarly, there is nothing wrong with changing from bad to good. Once a person is willing to accept the reality and correct him/herself, he/she should be given a chance,” he said.
According to gambiantalents.com, US-based website, the young star, though intelligent and creative, allowed his talents to lay in the cold snow for a long time without making good use of them. Thanks to his responsible parents, he was able to get his act together and started behaving like an African child in accordance with our norms and values.
As a product of the Arts Institute of Atlanta, he studied video production for two years after he got his life back together and he is planning on continuing soon. MoeBlac's first time on stage was at a 5th grade talent show where he and a friend called Warren Gs Regulate - G Funk Era performed. His mum, like most Gambian parents, was upset and asked: "Is this what you want to do with your life?" He boldly replied "yes", thus the beginning of his music career.
In 1996, after living and moving around in Atlanta, his family moved to Plaster Road where he first started writing rap songs. He started by rewriting some songs of Outkast in his own words to dis his home boy Andra Shaver.
As he got older and started understanding how the game goes, he started performing at clubs such as The Royal Peacock, club Miami, Cros Nest, talents shows, etc. He linked up with IBN a.k.a Nice who makes most of his beats.
One day, coming from a recording session at the westside of Atlanta, he was offered a job as an engineer. It is at this studio that he met Bone and Def of Def Hop Records who took him under their wing. He later joined some longtime friends and they formed a group called Plasta Productions.
He made his own first music video when he was in his senior year at high school. For more info about MoeBlac log onto http://gambiantalents.com/www.moeblacplasta.com.
