From All-Star High School Football Player to Star Rapper, Indica Makes Dreams Come True
Flashback to the year 2015 and Flint Hill School senior Cameron Vaughn was lighting up the football fields and headlines too as a promising Running Back. In fact, his game was so awesome, he was selected to play in the televised Offense-Defense All-American Bowl, a premiere All-Star football game showcasing the nation's top high school senior players during the coveted Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Florida.
While sports were always of major interest to the Northern Virginia athlete, music also had a special place in his heart. With this shared drive for sports and entertainment, Vaughn believed deeply that he had to make a choice. After long deliberations, the choice became more and more clear, Vaughn -- who adopted the stage name Indica -- opted to trade his football for the microphone. And in just a short period, the uber-talented rapper's choice is paying off, big time!
Fast Forward to 2017 and Indica, who now resides in Los Angeles, is one of the most sought after artists on the underground scene. In fact, his huge movement, built on mesmerizing, tell-tale music releases, innovative videos and eye popping performances, has catapulted him to the mainstream and a spot on the big stage! This weekend, Saturday, August 26, Indica is set to open for nationally renowned R&B artist August Alsina at the popular House of Blues in Anaheim, California during his “Don’t Matter Tour.” This is an amazing opportunity for an artist so new to the industry.
Indica is fresh off the heels of several summer blazing music releases. At the top of this week, the Los Angeles based rapper dropped “Narrow,” which has spawned a social media frenzy. Just as hot are his recent singles and videos for "Chop Top" and "Omi Omy" -- which inundate the playlists of diehard rap fans and DJs. There's such a buzz for Indica that Pigeons and Planes magazine (Complex) heralded him as one of Sound Cloud's Top Ten Artists of 2017.
While Indica is in the lab consistently crafting his next dope offering, his fans are anxiously waiting. Now more than ever before, it's clear that Indica's less-is-more music approach with plays on words and catchy hooks, over enchanting and infectious beats, is working. High profile performances joined by fan demand and increased visibility are a true testament to his efforts. In life, there may be some turns and twists along the way. Indica is a genuine example of how change in direction can work in one's absolute favor. Look out. Indica is coming to a stage near you!
