“My sound is best described as New York City at night,” says emerging recording artist Crown Royyal. “Sometime life gets dark but in between the darkness there’s a light that shines very bright, where it never sleeps, where there’s always life. Life is a movie, you are the director, you choose the cast and the roles they will play in your life and I am the soundtrack.” In fact, His new mixtape “Royyal Flush” Hosted by DJ Whoo Kid indeed makes a great statement, Crown Royyal’s highly anticipated mixtape CD that’s poised to usher in a new generation of talent in music today. Crown Royyal was born Antoine Antonio Alston on October 2 in Brooklyn, NY. Growing up in a musically-inclined family, he knew he was destined for a career in music and throughout his teenage years, Crown performed at talent shows and local venues to hone his craft, Nevertheless, it was navigating thru the tough streets of Crown Heights that inspired him to succeed. Crown Royyal first started making beats at the age of 16 when he purchased his first real workstation keyboard, The Korg Triton. Unfortunately there was a point when Crown put music on the back burner and found himself being pulled into the streets. While in the studio in the summer of 2009, Crown got wind of the BET/Nike “Be True” Hot 16 Cypher contest which was a nationwide search for the next new and emerging artist to take the industry by storm. Beating out 20,000 other contestants voted on by BET viewers, Crown recorded a freestyle Cypher video with legendary and rising recording artists such as Mos Def, Black Thought from the Roots, Nicki Minaj, Joe Budden and more which was aired during the BET Hip Hop Awards in October 09. Seen by millions of people around the world including artists and music industry executives in the building, The Cypher video was Crown Royyal’s official introduction to the masses.
