Artist Spotlight Volume 1: The Kid Famous...

What began as a dream became a reality in early 2003 when Ashton Bishop made the switch from business man to BUSINESS Maaaaaan. After getting his start at Universal Music/Def Jam and later helping with the creative development of SonyBMG artists such as Bow Wow (Wanted), Ciara (Goodies), Wyclef Jean (Creole 101) and Canada's own Keshia Chante, this suburban hustler has learnt the inner workings of the music industry while making some major contacts along the way. His time working behind the scenes only benefits his career and if you can imagine working at Champs Sports as "Ashton" (where nobody has any idea your an MC) then flying to NY as "Famous" to meet industry bosses like Jameel Spencer (Bad Boy), Caresse Henry Norman (Madonna) and Damon Dash (Dame Dash Music Group), then you can see why this regular kid can only appreciate where he's been and where he's heading.

While interviewing Memphis Bleek (ROC), writing reviews for artists such as Yung Joc and Cassie as well as hosting some of Toronto's hottest jams, Ashton has also developed "Famous" into an on-air personality that can now be heard on Toronto's Hip Hop & R&B radio station FLOW 93.5 FM. His own segment 60 Seconds of Fame can be heard exclusively on OTA Live, Canadas most popular Hip Hop radio show. With a fanbase of almost 500,000 listeners, an e-mail list of over 100, 000 people and a blog/MySpace page which generates more then 10,000 hits daily, this honour role college graduate has taken the proper steps needed to achieve commercial success in the Rap game. He is presently working on his debut solo project which will feature production from NY's The Narcotics (Kanye West, Teairra Marie, Jay-Z), Dre (Freeway, LL Cool J), Nicolay (Foreign Exchange), Major Music (Mobb Deep) and Toronto's own LuWop (Rochester, Ken Masters). A video for his 1st single "Ain't No Use" is presently in the works and is being directed by Little X prodigy R.T.
