CROWN VEGA

Born and reared in Memphis, TN, Crown Vega spent his early childhood with his grandmother in South Memphis not far from downtown and world famous “Beale Street” where she would take him to hear live music from local musicians. As a teen he relocated to North Memphis, in a community named “Smoky City,” where he lived until becoming a young adult. Gifted with creativity, talent and having a passion for music, once Vega heard hometown legends such as 8 Ball & MJG, Three 6 Mafia, and Skinny Pimp to name a few, a flame was sparked that continued to grow. At a young age Crown Vega started rapping, free styling and writing his own lyrics alongside his peers in middle school. This became his base of expression and distraction from the surrounding troubles of his neighborhood. In addition to his work in perfecting his writing ability, with instruction from his brother and mastering engineer “Mottini,” Vega became a studio engineer and music producer. Crown Vega has worked on collaborations with some of Memphis‘ own legends and new artists to take his place among the ranks in the industry.
