Cilvaringz is one of the few hip hop artists from Europe who managed to turn his dream into reality. Hip hop music first came to his attention at the age of 13. In 1993, a player on his basketball team played him a tape of the Wu-Tang Clan and Cilvaringz fell in love with the music.
In 1995 the Clan hit the peak of their success and was showing itself to be continually growing. And while still studying the art of hip hop, Cilvaringz became more and more ambitious and planned to join these rap icons and expand their 2nd generation (often referred to as Wu-Tang Killa Beez) internationally.
To prove his ambition, motivation and talent, Cilvaringz jumped on stage during a Wu-Tang Clan concert on the May 26th, 1997 in Amsterdam and performed a 2 minute freestyle. Wu-Tang’s leader and producer RZA, who was standing by the DJ table, took notice of the positive responses from Method Man and Ol’ Dirty Bastard and invited him to the backstage area to ‘talk about something important’.
Cilvaringz awaited patiently on stage, but as the concert came to an end, a group of concertgoers became violent and security was forced to clear the venue. Cilvaringz, who was close to reaching his goal, lost touch with RZA but went back home more determined and confident about his potential and dream to join the Wu-Tang family.
NEW YORK
In December ‘97, Cilvaringz went on his first trip to New York determined to find RZA. RZA however, had moved most of Wu-Tang’s business to Los Angeles and was out of town. Still motivated and not want to give up, he kept flying back and forth to New York between 1997 and 1999. |
