| Releases: | [The Beginning] [Mixology] | | Info: | La Vell Walton was born June 30th, 1980. He was raised by
his grandmother in the Central District of Seattle, WA. The
name VellVett was given him after the release of hit movie
Coming to America in the 1990's. Although it came from
humor, VellVett created a reputation for himself as a
smooth, yet vibrant, and unique rap artist.
Unsigned
The instant his voice was heard publicly he was considered
one of the best unsigned artists yet. Quote: you are an
advocate of the basic nature to feel good and give praise
stated by Giana Garel, producer/co-host of talk radio show
On The Real.
Label
VellVett started working on his first solo release entitled,
after signing with Genuine Life Recordz, an indie label
based in Seattle, on September 18th, 2006.
Music
He is also preparing songs for movie projects while
promoting his album via internet, collaborations and live
performances. In his own words: I've recognized the
necessity for unadulterated, influential music in today's
world. I too enjoy entertainment, but youth today mimic
fictional characters rather than real-life success stories.
They don't know the benefit of being themselves. Instead,
they compromise their essence by imitating unhappy people
who lack identity. So, instead of highlighting the need, I
would rather contribute through music, film and
demonstration of who we are according to God; our Creator.
His immediate goal is to work with a trustworthy
distribution company with a successful track record.
Rapping & Re-birth
VellVett has been rapping since 1987 and has been writing
songs since 1993. He started performing at nightclubs in
1995. He was always known for his strong voice, great stage
presence, and lyrical content and creative flow. Now he has
truly broken the mold in hip-hop, bringing the Unadulterated
Truth in a most creative way since his re-birth (salvation)
October 11th, 2001 at Faith Deliverance Assembly A.O.H.
Church of God.
Inspirations
His inspirations range from: EWF, Marvin Gaye, Whodini, Fat
Boys, The Fresh Prince, LL Cool J, NWA, Digital Underground,
2Pac and many more. His greatest inspiration is Jesus
Christ. “It was His attitude, strength and grace in hard
times that influenced me, VellVett states.
Nominations
Over the past couple of years he's attended an annual award
show held here in Seattle called "The Pacific Northwest
Charity & Music Award Show" hosted by "Inside Tha Musik
(ITM)." And from this award show VellVett has been nominated
for 3 years in several different categories. Walking away
