"C-Wealth Clik Whole New Flava"

Hailing from Cincinnati, Chicago and Costa Mesa, Flare, Purty PIMP and Jenn K tie their
individual musical creativity into one eclectic mixture of Hip-Hop and R&B.
Their vibe is cool, fun and laidback without being too pop.
The "C" represents the common first letter of their respective hometowns and "Wealth" is
their destiny.
For this group wealth is far beyond being rich; it's about amassing riches to be passed on
through generations.
C-Wealth not only strives for financial longevity, but musical longevity as well.
C-Wealth
Individually the members hold their own as artists, but when you combine all their talents
together magic happens. Flare (aka Kaz Curry) born and raised in Cincinnati and now residing
in Los Angeles brings a lot of his city's flava to the group. Starting out as a DJ at house
parties in high school and college, music has always been in his blood. After saving up
enough money to buy his first keyboard, he began making beats for many local artists
throughout Ohio as a way to get his name out there. During that time Flare's brother
introduced him to Purty PIMP (aka B. Hutch) and they began recording together in the
basement back in the late 90's for fun.

EURweb.com - C-WEALTH CLIK'S WHOLE NEW FLAVA: Unique Blend of Musical ... Page 1 of 3

As a youngster everyone knew Purty PIMP had something special as an entertainer. Purty
used music as his release and as he says, "the best way to stay out of trouble." You could
open you window at anytime in the neighborhood and hear Purty practicing his freestyles and
battling the other kids. Growing up in Chicago gave Purty a swagger and uniqueness that
helped to develop his craft. Now in Cincinnati, Purty continued to expand as an artist by
constantly performing as a rap and dance act in as many talent shows as possible. Purty is
featured on many local mix tapes and has recorded as a featured artist with several groups
throughout Southwest OH. Working with Flare, the two of them united with several other
friends in the area to form the FPA and the group released an album, achieving some local
success in Cincinnati.
Always with his mind on the future, after graduation from The Ohio State University, Flare
immediately moved to LA to perfect his craft and learn the technical side of music production
at UCLA. After honing his skills Flare worked as an engineer and producer for Paragon
Studios. With Purty PIMP now relocated to Los Angeles a chance meeting in the studio
brought C-Wealth Clik their third member, Jenn K.
Orange County-born and raised Jenn K (aka Jenn Kuang) is of Guamanian and
Vietnamese decent and was destined to be a performer. Her parents made performing
inevitable, as she began doing ballet at the age of four and taking piano lessons at the age of
seven. Education was always at the forefront of her goals with music playing an integral part of
her life. In high school she continued to hone her performance skills by taking dance classes
at a local dance studio where she studied hip-hop and jazz. In 1999 she enrolled at the
University of California, Santa Barbara and later joined the Gospel choir, as well as danced
and choreographed for various groups. Flare also noticed Jenn K's talents. "I was working on
Jenn K's demo and I was like she can sing, but her track was whack," laughs Flare. "I knew I
could do better than that. We started vibing on some tracks and then we all started doing
songs together," adds Flare.
Collectively they decided to form a new group with a new sound and 2006 saw the
formation of C-Wealth Clik; a solid and cohesive unit with Flare, Purty PIMP and Jenn K firmly
in place.
Being fed up with their initial independent deal, Flare decided to start his own label, One
Oh One Entertainment, to ensure that their project be what they wanted and be delivered on
their terms. "Our destiny is in our hands," says Flare. "The way music is so trendy right now
there isn't a lot out there that will have longevity. We are bringing a new sound with a little bit
of everything. Something that will put our Midwest and Southern-flavored stamp on the
industry," adds Flare.
After attending Urban Network's Marketing and Entertainment Summit, C-Wealth Clik was
even more determined to put Ohio on the map. With contacts made at Urban, a 9 month plan
turned into a 3 month plan, facilitating the release of Chili & Cheese Vol. 1 in the fall of 2007.
The first single, "Swagg" with its infectious hook is already making noise at college radio and
on mix shows nationally. Chili and Cheese Vol. 1 is a laid back smoothed out story driven
lyrical rhapsody filled with real production and instrumentation. Every hip-hop music palate will
be satisfied. Vol. 1 has radio friendly bangers, smoothed out head bobbers and great h - EUR Web
