Q&A WITH YOUNG CALEB

What is your Name? Tell us where you are from and what first interested you in the entertainment industry?

My name is Caleb, I’m from Akron Ohio and I’ve always wanted to be a performer. I started performing at shows for school, my church, and my passion grew from there. 

Who and/or what inspires you to create?

I’ve always loved singing and one of my inspirations that has driven my passion to the next level was The Wiz. Since a young age I’ve loved that musical so much. Watching Michael Jackson perform as Scarecrow made me want to start dancing and singing. 

How would you describe your sound?

I’m a versatile singer, but I like to strive to promote a young, fun sound. 

THE CREATIVE PROCESS

What is your creative process like?

Well, during the recording process, we would go to the studio multiple times a week and record a number of tracks. 

What artist(s) would you like to collaborate with?

I would love to collaborate with H.E.R, Ariana Grande, Chris Brown, RAYE or Usher. These are all artists who have inspired me to perform.

Let artists have more creative freedom. Just because the things you’ve done in the past have worked for other artists, doesn’t mean they work for future ones.

SHIFTING GEARS

What is one message you would give to your supporters? 

Never give up on your dreams. If you have a dream there might be conflicts along the way or things you must complete to get to where you want to be, but all of your work will pay off in the end. 

What is the most talent/skill you have that most people don’t know about?

I’ve played baseball and I was pretty good. I played for almost all of my life and have always been pretty a decent player. 

8. What would you be doing right now, if you weren’t doing music? 

I would be in community theatre’s performing and training to be on broadway. I have an undying love for broadway musicals like The Wiz, Wicked, Mean Girls, and lots more. This is actually one of my other passions I would like to pursue one day. Though, currently I’m focused on my music though, and I wouldn’t give it up for anything. 

WRAPPING IT UP

What is the best advice you’ve been given?

To never give up. 

What’s next for you? Where would you like to see yourself in the next year?

Released more music, blown up on social media, striving for success. 

What is your social media? How can people get in contact with you? 

My social media currently is on Instagram and TikTok and you can find me @youngcaleb_ent for my Instagram and @youngcalebent for TikTok.
