S.G

PARIS “S.G” NUNN WAS BORN NOVEMBER 16TH 1984 TO MOTHER BARBARA NUNN. AS A CHILD HIS MOTHER STATES “PARIS ALWAYS LOVED MUSIC, WE WOULD BE SITTING AROUND THE HOUSE AND LISTENING TO MUSIC AND AS SOON AS I CHANGED A SONG OR TURNED OFF THE MUSIC PARIS WOULD START CRYING.” S.G BASICALLY GREW UP LISTENING TO THE MOTOWN GREATS LIKE MARVIN GAYE, THE TEMPTATIONS AND SMOKEY ROBINSON. WHILE GROWING UP S.G WOULD ALWAYS SING AROUND THE HOUSE, AND ONLY THOSE WHO WERE CLOSE TO HIM WOULD KNOW THAT HE WAS BLESSED WITH THE ABILITY TO SING. AS YEARS WENT ON FAMILY MEMBERS AND CLOSE FRIENDS WOULD SHARE WITH THEIR FRIENDS HOW TALENTED S.G WAS. EVENTUALLY THE SHYNESS IN S.G WENT AWAY BUT THE NAME STUCK. LIFE WAS HARD FOR HIM GROWING UP ESPECIALLY SINCE HE WAS RAISED IN A SINGLE PARENT HOUSEHOLD WITH HIS MOTHER. S.G TOOK THOSE HARD TIMES AND STARTED EXPRESSING HIS FEELINGS AND HARDSHIP THOUGH HIS MUSIC. TO FURTHER HIS LOVE FOR MUSIC S.G JOINED THE JAZZ BAND WHILE IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BUT HE COULD PLAY MUSIC NOT READ IT WHICH FINALLY CAUGHT UP TO HIM AS THE YEARS WENT ON. IN 2002 S.G AND LIFE LONG CHILDHOOD FRIEND WHO IS LIKE A BROTHER TO HIM, STARTED THEIR ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY CALLED “DON STATUS ENTERTAINMENT.” “WE WERE SICK OF TRYING TO DO THINGS WITH OTHER PEOPLE AND BEING LET DOWN, WITH POO MACK’S ABILITY TO RAP AND MY ABILITY TO SING, I KNEW THAT WE COULD DO IT ON OUR OWN, SO WE STARTED DON STATUS” WAS HIS REPLY WHEN ASKED HOW DID IT ALL BEGIN. THE PAIR RELEASED THEIR FIRST MIXTAPE IN 2003, WHICH WAS “HOT AND UNHEARD” VOL. 1 WITH THE SUCCESS OF THAT MIXTAPE THEY DECIDED TO DO IT AGAIN IN 2005 RELEASING “HOT AND UNHEARD VOL. 2. THE PAIR GOT FRUSTRATED WITH HUNTING DOWN PRODUCERS AND FINDING STUDIOS TO RECORD IN THAT THEY DECIDED TO START THEIR OWN. THE BAND KAMP WAS FORMED WHERE S.G USED HIS JAZZ BAND EXPERIENCE TO START PRODUCING. SO WITH DON STATUS THE ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY AND BAND KAMP THE PRODUCTION COMPANY THE TWO HAD IT ALL. S.G STARTED USING HIS VOICE TO SPREAD THE WORD AROUND THE CITY AND BEGAN BEING FEATURED WITH INDIE ARTIST ALL OVER THE CHICAGO/NORTHWEST IN AREA. DURING THIS NETWORKING PHASE HE LINKED UP WITH HC2 MUSIC GROUP. NOW WITH HC2 MUSIC GROUP S.G IS FEATURED ON THEIR DEBUT MIXTAPE “BETTER THAN THE REST” VOL. 1. HE WILL BE RELEASING HIS DEBUT ALBUM THIS YEAR CALLED “IT IS WHAT IT IS” AS A JOINT VENTURE BETWEEN DON STATUS AND HC2 MUSIC GROUP
