Van bio

Van Solo.. Born Austen "Vananthony" Campbell is thee youngest child out his fam of 3. Raised in Houston Tx, I didn't really understand a lot of things going on around me. I wasn't into a lot of things most people here was into, I was never a fan of being fake, I didn't understand it. My mom used to get mad at me because I didn't like my "family". I didn't like them because they fake, they berated, & betrayed me.. Said I was serving thee devil because I didn't wanna go to church. Smh. My music reflects on everything I've had inside of me since a kid. All thee pain, struggle, heartbreak, life lessons, mistakes, love, societys problems. I speak on a lot of shit most people don't speak on. I always been that way, always had my own view n perspective on things, but I was quiet... So i would never say anything about it to people. Beats break my silence now, I hear em, & vent out! Developed my style ever since a child, I used to write verses in elementary school before I even knew good english lol. Middle school I was writing poems, I would write em, & give em to girls.. Tryna fuck em on some sweet shit, & it worked too. Lol besides thee fact that i was cute. I used to play basketball in middle school though, wasn't really fucking with music so toughly. I wanted to go to thee NBA & I prolly woulda but that dream went away when I went to high school. Coaches was some dickriding haters tho, & I'm thee underdog.. So I'm pretty sure you know how that goes. Fell back into music for fun my 9th grade year in school, with my homie, freestyling In class.. For fun. Then i was like, this shits easy. So I started developing my style. First I had to figure out how to properly write verses. Then I learned to spit on a beat, then I got bars, but rap is boring to me. Anybody can make up a bunch of shit in their mind. That's why now I don't consider myself as a rapper, but a musician. In high school, I engaged in a couple of rap groups with some people I knew. People always liked thee stuff I would say on beats, I always said some fly shit. But dudes get jealous, & with shit being that way, I had fall outs with both groups. I'm not gonna name any names, both groups are kiddy n irrelevant. But from I learned that I was better off alone..Solo. That's where I got my name. Van derives from my middle name of "Vananthony". I was always a loner, I have a big bro, but he would always be doing something, whether it was working, engaging with his gf's, going with his friends or whutev.. A nigga was by himself a lot & still is to this day. I went through major shit in my junior & senior year. Then I get notice that I can't graduate from high school because of thee state math taks test. So I'm diploma-less in a recession. What am I to do?? My homie & long-time friend "Kevin" [djseven1three] calls me up like yo, you wanna rap, I say hell yeah! He tells me about an investor we have by the name of Oscar [Gova] which later becomes a partner of New Page Music Group. He's gets us all thee studio equipment n anything we have to buy we need. So I'm thinking to myself, this aint no bullshit.. Bussiness starts sort of shaky at first, but then I made "Super Good". After that, thee three of us was more into thee music more n more. I started making records for a net buzz like "Present Future", "Ode to love", "Wet Paint", "365", couple featuring my brother n only artist "Superduperd", etc.. Just to test out if people was feeling it, more n more of a fanbase grew on thee myspace game. So 3 months later we have nice equpiment, & I decide it's time to make a mixtape. Therefore making "Veeology", a nice dope buzzworthly mixtape that's growing rapidly thoughout thee streets of Houston, & appearing on random blogs for nice reviews. "It's really a personal mixtape, & I talk about things that went on throughout my life, I made it so personal becuase I want people to feel like they know who I am.. Like, you know how you feel like you know your favorite people who do whatever after awhile of them being out so long? I wanted to do that, but I wanted to make thee proper introduction in thee world of music, I'm not a stranger after this tape." Next step is getting my first hit single "Superr Good" is looking to start hitting thee net, radios, clubs, & streets hard. GOD is good to me, he put me ina place, & shows me thee route to go, so therefore, I'm coming. Download Veeology via: myspace.com/g5spacemusic or valentinesknown.blogspot.com
