New York, NY…. Tre Norman ‘s first album “The Jump” drops this summer and like most new artist he is a bit jittered. He contends that he was excited about the album and that he has been literally changing some things on the album, completely. “I don’t think albums are done until they’re release to the public. “I feel good about it, I like it a lot,” articulated the 21 -year old. He not only a rapper he’s also a singer.
In a recent phone interview with this Journalist, Tre Norman stated his reasons for wanting to become the next (Music Crème). ” I believe I have what it takes to get there and my feet’s are planted firmly to the ground,” voiced the young prote`ge`..
From his tone and how he answered questions, like a pro…one can sincerely say that he has a good head on his shoulder and sounded rooted enough, to take on the journey he must embark on, ahead of the game.
In my book the album sounded like a strong contender to become a hit album,. From what was heard this kid is not running around with jokers, he seemed in-fact to have a sound base and a solid foundation. His voice and music, along with his lyrics were like listening to any one of a successful rap artist, including Chris Brown and Usher; not really sounding like them but in terms of polish-clean, well put together strong vocal tone and uniqueness.
The (UNLV) University of Nevada , Las Vegas graduate, reiterated again, that he and his team did well enough for the album to become a hit and that he was excited. “I think we’re good, we have a lot going on and I think we’re on track. The album has some pains in it and when I say pain I am referring to relationships and cutting people out of my life,” explained Norman .
Explaining more on the the statement, Norman conquered that he was up and down with family issues. He said that making the album was like; ” Making it through the storm and living to tell about it.” Noting also that experience is the best teacher.
Conversely, one big note here, is that even though the protégé was having family issues, other family members were his rock and confidant. Norman in no small measure idolize his older brother , who is a Rap artist and was one of the biggest influences, in his young life. His grandfather who was a Saxophonist also played a big part in young Norman’s life and as a young adult growing up. Grandpa played with a variety of musicians over his career.
One of Norman ‘s more vivid and memorable conversations with his grandfather was that his grandfather told him that he played for (The Godfather), James Brown, on one of his tours. The consensus here is that Norman is in good standing and in a good place at this stage in his career.
In addition, the mannerable sounding Norman, Imploded further that his title song “Jump” and the title of the album “The Jump,” was the idea of listening to a flict from Steve Harvey’s ‘Jump.’ “I listen to Steve’s flict and thought that it jumped (Like yow this jumps wow). He said, “My album is like a book put together.”
Moreover, the young aspiring rapper, also conquered that doing the album was like a mind set, a project that he focused on. He said the cost to him was a lot of money and that his family wanted him to pursue other dreams; like becoming a Doctor.
When prompted for more information on that statement he conceded that he always had good grades and that he have a Marketing Degree. (Which will no doubt come in handy for him in this business). The music scholar also quipped that the short term is that he have to sacrifice right now.
Norman is a public school student who through his grandmother’s church his parents got whipped of a boarding school in Mississippi called Tiny Woods. Tiny Woods School, is the largest African American Boarding School in Mississippi. The school carries a rich history of Southern Black History and caters to students 15-17 years old. Its housing is dormitory style, separating the girls from the boys. Tiny Woods School was established over 100 years ago by Dr. Larinu L. Jones.
It was here at Tiny Woods, that young Norman, just 15 years old, use music has his one contents companion and later used it to navigate his boarding school years; learning more about himself. It was also here that Norman, started experimenting with different music’s and wanted to share it with other people. Here furthermore, he learned to be himself and become more genuine to people.
Graduating boarding school, Norman entered UNLV, where in his Sophomore year, he sang “I am a Rebel,” at his Commencement Day ceremony, where he mcced. He said that it was after this tidbit of exposure that he cemented his decision to make music his career. He did it along with taking his regular classes.
Thus, it turned out that Norman who went on to joined the honors program at UNLV, graduated with not only a Professional Public Speaking Degree but also a Marketing Degree. This, while all along, doing his music. The young multitalented rapper also wants to go into acting and show-business. His sense of what he wants might just land him there.
When asked what more did he wanted to do in life? He stated , “I want to travel to see all the diversity, I want to travel the world to expand my knowledge. If I were to go back to college, I would finish within a year. If it makes sense for me to go back to college after a few years of doing music then I will,” he said, finishing a most interesting interview.
