Watsonville, CA singer and rapper Kabwasa has released his funk-driven new single, “To Be A Star” via Boom.Records today. The freeing and uplifting track finds the 24-year-old artist effortlessly gliding between a blissful catharsis of hip-hop, soul, and R&B.
Speaking of the song, Kabwasa said, “Failure is not an option, but you can lose yourself in the pursuit of success.” In ‘To Be A Star,’ I pulled influence from The Godfather of Soul, James Brown, to bring the funk alive and inspire others to chase their dreams while remembering to appreciate the journey and each small moment along the way.”
