Song:Focus
Album:Hide and Seek
C WEST made a big splash in the gospel market with the 2017 single Focus and debut album Hide and Seek. He's a young guy who writes his own songs. He has crossover potential if he wants that. Carl Edwin West is from Buffalo, NY. After graduating high school, he studied music at Villa Maria College. Then he entered a talent contest sponsored by Atlanta based pastor Marquis Boone. West won the contest and signed with Boone's record company. Boone has a distribution deal with Dr. Leonard Scott's Tyscott label. Boone also produces Casey J, Bri and Kelontae Gavin. So he's an emerging force in the gospel market. Focus was the first single from West's 2017 debut album Hide and Seek. This is a record that if I didn't tell you it's a gospel record, you will think it's R&B. Clearly West has potential to cross over if that's what he wants. Boone has shown an interest in crossing over as he did with Gavin. West writes most of his own songs sometimes with Boone. And some of the producers who worked on this album have worked with Boone's other artists. So does West want to stick with Boone's emerging gospel music empire or does he want to explore mainstream opportunities elsewhere. Here's the video for Focus by C WEST.
