The UK’s Bullet Magazine has featured Carmine in their latest issue! Cee gets candid and opens up about his troubled childhood, drive and even reveals he plans to move outside of the Pop/Dance genre sooner than expected! The issue has sold out, but you can read the full interview below!
Bullet Magazine: So you describe yourself as a Pop, Dance and Rock Artist — Is that the music you have always been interested in?:
CARMINE DAVIS: I’ve always been interested in all types of music, but I won’t lie: my first love was R&B, Hip-Hop and Soul music because that’s what I was introduced to initially!
BM: You had a tough upbringing, what was the hardest thing you think you had to face growing up?:
CD: I don’t think I had a tough up-bringing compared to others! My mom was a kick-ass mother!: we always had food, clothes, water, electricity and shelter! I have some family members that at any given time didn’t have two out of five of those things!
But I think it’s the fact that my family comes from a limited background! We don’t have much, my family are just hard working people. Everything I have built and will build comes from absolutely nothing, which is also something I’m very proud of at the same time.
BM: Do your experiences influence your song writing now?:
CD: Absolutely! I find it a lot easier to write when I’m full of one emotion! I can never write when I’m mellow! When I’m angry, depressed, excited or when I feel love I can write and write!
BM: You wrote your first song at eight, would you say that music has always been a big part of your life?:
CD: Absolutely! I shudder at the thought of where my life would be without it! I can’t go anywhere without my iPod! I can’t go a single day without singing, thinking about music, dreaming about music, OBSESSING over music.
