Candyman 187 is a name that for many will ring true but you might not be able to place where from instantly. Born in the 80s, Candyman was raised in L.A. and led a hot-tempered youth before reevaluating his life and refocusing his energy into becoming a revolutionary musician whose goal was to make an impact on anyone who would listen.
In his early years, Candyman 187 was mentored by the legendary Tupac Shakur and Yaki Kadafi of the Outlawz. A strong bond developed amongst the trio, who then went on to form the group The Havenotz.
Today Candyman 187 has seen and done it all and over recent years, with that team of artists, musicians and producers behind him The Havenotz he has set about making his mark taking L.A by storm with a 13 piece live band making and winning Album of the Year and Artist of the Year at the Los Angeles Music Awards.
Now Candyman 187 is tackling the industry on his own and has recently released a single and video for a record featuring Snoop Dogg and Ariano called “High Off The Fame.” This radio friendly record and accompanying video is from his upcoming album “If Tomorrow Never Comes.”
