Cadillac Muzik - Vibration




PRESS



Beseja "CaddyMack" Moses and Scott Campbell aka "DaddyDvill" are cousins that started heavily getting involved with music as kids.  It went from popping and sliding in talent shows, free-styling in circles, and banging on tables in school, to becoming actual recording artists & producers.  

They started their Producer/Songwriting careers in early 2003 rapping & writing music as teenagers with their cousins B-Snow, HollyWood, & Mr. H in a native San Antonio rap group known as the Texas Hardknocks or THK.  They also released projects with their cousin "Big E" in 2006/2007 with rap duo Big E & Lil Scott under 7 Cru Ent.  In 2010, the duo decided to hook up with another Producer/Songwriter James Howard aka "J-Marz" to merge styles and form their own band aside of THK called Cadillac Muzik.  

Cadillac Muzik is no newbie to the music game and faithfully holding down the streets of Texas with block-burning projects.  Cadillac Muzik can easily be described as one of the brightest rays of independent Alternative Hip Hop/Soul/Funk/Pop from the sunny southern hemisphere of Texas and other meridional regions.  

Cadillac Muzik has opened up for other industry acts such as The Temptations, Cypress Hill, Lil Boosie, Z-RO, Magno and Chalie Boy.  The term "Cadillac Muzik" was given birth to by one of their main influences, and one of Hip Hop's greatest legendary duos Outkast, in 1994 with their album Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik.  

The band explains how their uncles, fathers, and other male role models as kids were actual pimps, players, gangsters, hustlers, ex-ball players and pastors that drove Eldorados, Fleetwoods, and Devilles.  The band explains how they remember coming up around these types of role models in the streets of San Antonio Texas, and how it actually bestowed upon them the knowledge and wisdom to balance street life survival and corporate america.  

Riding in an old school cadillac was like taking a journey in a spaceship to the future or even out of space to another galaxy of wisdom and creativity.  It was a way of escaping the negativity in their environment...  

"The music was played into us.  The funk and soul was all we had to listen to.  We would ride listening to UGK, Outkast, and Eightball & MJG.  The music was like our religion and educational system, since their was a lack of knowledge and education in our community and public school systems.  These artists were like our mentors and pastors back then.  

It gave us a since of balance and consciousness.  We as Cadillac Muzik want to make the music we love and reach the world in a positive way through our artistry, giving the people powerful and authentic music that inspires them to embrace their originality and individuality.  

We want people to realize their is always a way out of their current negative circumstance, if they really dig deep into who they are, find themselves,  and put back into the person right next to them.  We believe the music is the source," the band also explains...

Cadillac Muzik's image, creativity, and artistry in general hasn't been seen in the music industry since the golden era of the 90s. Inspired by legendary artists/masterminds such as Jimi Hendrix, James Brown, Willie Hutch, Michael Jackson, George Clinton, Ohio Players, Marvin Gaye, Isaac Hayes, Roy Ayers, Charlie Wilson, The Beatles, Prince, Dungeon Family, Arrested Development, UGK, Devin Tha Dude, Ghetto Boys, Dr. Dre, S.U.C, Kid N Play, PKO, Grand Master Flash & Furious Five, Maze, New Edition, Raphael Saadiq, Timbaland, A Tribe Called Quest, Isley Brothers, Kool & The Gang, Earth Wind & Fire, Roger Troutman, Public Enemy & De La Soul.  

Cadillac Muzik wants to follow this long line of greatness becoming a legendary band on their own with their own unique sound. The Texas band is what the music industry has been missing since years.

Theresa Harris

Theresa Harris appeared with more stars of the Golden Era of Hollywood than anyone else. She sang, she danced, appeared in films and TV. She graced the screen with her magnetic presence and most times stole scenes from the top stars of the day every chance she got and made a lot of dull movies worthwhile. Although stereotyped by receiving only maid roles, Theresa stepped outside the stereotype any chance she got, to show she was glamorous, classy, beautiful, and a true actress. While she often played maids, she always showed dignity, grace, and demanded respect. Theresa didn't exactly fit the mammy/maid stereotype fore she was a beauty and petite, a stark contrast from Hattie McDaniel and Louise Beavers, and Theresa was one of the very few black women to not fit that stereotype on screen.

There were quite a few films in which Theresa got a chance to let her light shine and make you forget her maid costume and see her as a talented actress. In the Pre-Code classic "Babyface," she and Barbara Stanwyck had equal time on screen, which was rare between black and white actresses at that time. Playing Chico, Stanwyck's friend than maid, Harris gave a moving and memorable performance that contributed to the film becoming one of the essentials of the classic genre. Theresa was allowed to be sexy, glamorous, and her own person, not simply a servant who jumped at her employer's every beck and call, a rarity for a black actress in a maid role in the 1930s, and a true friendship was shared between Stanwyck and Harris's characters, another rarity. In "Professional Sweetheart," starring Ginger Rogers, Harris played a spunky, sexy maid who teaches Ginger a thing or two about being "hot," and ends up replacing Rogers as a singer, and sings a hot song on the radio that turns on the white male listeners, another shocker and rarity at the time for a black actress. But, Pre-Code films always push the envelope, which shows in both "Babyface" and "Professional Sweetheart." Though Theresa played maid parts most of her movie career, she had showed moments of excellence in many roles such as "Professional Sweetheart" "Hold Your Man" "Babyface" "Black Moon" "Gangsters on the Loose" "Jezebel" "The Toy Wife" "Tell No Tales" "Buck Benny Rides Again" "Love Thy Neighbor" "Blossoms in the Dust" "I Walked With A Zombie" "Cat People" and others.

Theresa was a versatile talent, besides acting, she could sing beautifully and dance divinely, when she had the chance in such films as "Thunderbolt" "Babyface" "Professional Sweetheart" "Banjo on the Knees" "Buck Benny Rides Again" "What's Buzzin' Cousin" and "The French Line." When Theresa got the chance to show her beauty and sex appeal, it was often with her screen boyfriend, Eddie Rochester Anderson, they were dynamic on screen together in "Buck Benny Rides Again" and "What's Buzzin' Cousin." In "Buck Benny Rides Again," Theresa and Eddie "Rochester" Anderson sing and dance a musical number, "My, My," that is the most memorable scene, where they sing and dance tap, classical, Spanish, and swing.

Theresa Harris was perhaps the hardest-working woman in Hollywood, appearing in close to 90 films, working at every major studio with most of the big stars. She was respected by studio executives, producers, directors, and co-workers alike, who sometimes went out of their way to get her more lines and screen time. Harris married a doctor and retired from the movies in the late 1950s, living comfortably after having carefully invested the money she made during her career in the movies. She was a patient woman who never gave up hope that there would come a time when she would be able to play more than just maid roles. Nevertheless, in every role, she displayed class, dignity, beauty, and true acting talent, not simply the old stereotypes associated with black actors and actresses at that time.
