In the heart of Loudoun County, Virginia, a new voice is echoing through the streets. Meet Showtimetwon, the 540 area code’s latest export making waves in the music industry. This young producer, rapper, and influencer is not just creating music – he’s building a movement.
Born and raised in Purcellville, Showtimetwon’s journey to stardom began with humble beginnings. Despite his small-town roots, he always had big dreams. “I was always taught you reap what you sow, so whatever you put into the world will come back to you,” he reflects. This philosophy has guided his path, from his early days as a high school student raising over $60,000 for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society to his current status as a rising artist.
Showtimetwon’s music career ignited with his 2020 single “Heart of Gold.” The song’s release coincided with his senior year of high school and quickly gained traction, earning him recognition in Richmond and beyond. “If you have a dream, do it, and follow it. Spread positivity because it will come back to you,” he advises, echoing the message of his breakout hit.
Balancing academics and athletics with his burgeoning music career, Showtimetwon proved his dedication and work ethic. As a college athlete, his days were filled with early morning lifts, classes, practices, and homework. Yet, he still found time to commute back to Loudoun County each weekend, collaborating with producer F1Nick to hone his unique sound.
That sound is what sets Showtimetwon apart. He seamlessly blends genres, transitioning from hard-hitting hip hop to melodic tracks infused with samples from loved ones who have supported him along the way. His lyrics focus on themes of growth, risk-taking, and the importance of faith. “I try to make a difference for the people because they listen,” he explains. “I show them that their dreams can come true because that ain’t really fiction.”
Showtimetwon’s music has resonated with listeners from California to New York, Florida, and even as far as Kenya. His song “2AM” from the album “Space Cadet” inspired dancers in Kenya to create a video mix. “I’m glad you don’t feel like you have to talk about drugs and gunplay in order to be ‘hot,’” says Coach Bray, a mentor who has witnessed Showtimetwon’s development. “You bring mad charismatic energy to the table, and you create a fun atmosphere with your music… definitely unique because you’ve always loved music and you don’t sway from who you are!”
Despite the challenges of navigating the competitive music industry, Showtimetwon remains focused on his goals. “In a few years, I see myself on stage, performing in front of 200 to 1000 people, spreading love to the community,” he envisions. “I live a rockstar life, so many people won’t understand what I’m doing.”
Showtimetwon’s upcoming album, dropping in September 2024, promises to showcase his continued growth as an artist. With 10 tracks, it will further cement his status as a versatile player in the music scene. His latest single, “Salary” featuring his brother Zayyy, releases on August 24, 2024, offering a preview of what’s to come.
As Showtimetwon’s star continues to rise, he remains true to his roots and his mission of spreading positivity. “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure,” he quotes from Marianne Williamson’s famous poem. “I’m living proof that with hard work, dedication, and a heart of gold, you can overcome any obstacle and achieve greatness, no matter where you come from.”
Get ready to join the Showtimetwon movement. With his infectious energy, inspiring message, and undeniable talent, this 540 area code representative is poised to take the music world by storm. Stay tuned for what’s next from this rising star.
