FIFTYCAPONE

Melvin Williams Jr., also known as FIFTYCAPONE, is an African American songwriter, producer, performer, rapper, philanthropist and entrepreneur. He was born 9 April 1978 in Stockton, CA but due to domestic violence in the home his mother left Northern California and raised him in the heart of Los Angeles. He and his family moved around the city of Los Angeles frequently which allowed him to develop a love for the city which runs deep. He would spend summer vacations with different family members in different cities throughout California which would add to his abilities to be adaptive and diverse. While growing up he would often visit professional and home recording studios thanks to family connections. Although he had always been exposed to music as a child, he began exploring different genres of music and artists. From blues to rock and roll, rap to harmonic symphonies he enjoys listening and learning from them all. Surrounded by violence throughout the city of Los Angeles, he was able to find his escape in sports and music. At the age of 15 he began writing and free styling as an outlet. Being inspired by artists like Tupac, DMX, Gap band, and Earth Wind and Fire just to name a few, allowed Capone to develop many different writing styles. His extensive music taste, exceptionally deep voice and straightforward attitude give his fans catchy yet diverse music to listen to.
