Mission Statement
The powerful. universal language of music has influenced cultures and people groups since music was music. Common Man strives to inject Jesus Christ and the Kingdom gospel into a Hip Hop culture that needs it. Many people speak of "Positive Hip Hop", but a happy-go-lucky attitued without any real anchor or reason is still fake... it just sweeter. The motto of "Hip Hop More Positive" helps communicate that positivity without Christ is false hope. Common Man... Hip Hop More Positive.
Bio
Common Man (aka Cesaron White) is exactly what the stage name implies... yet simultaneously focused and unique. The name has many inspirations all rooted to the fact that the original 12 disciples of Jesus Christ were common people. He found his passion and received his calling for this art and ministry while still in the United States Air Force. The most notable trait observed during his term of service was his uplifted, positive and people oriented demeanor. Those facets of his personality are just as tangible in song as they are in person.
After being seen in a local Christian bookstore open mic session, local Holy Hip Hop giant NameLess sought to develop the skills and focus further and contributed to a sound distinctively christian, however appealing to the listener of any background. When asked "have you always been into Hip Hop" the knee-jerk response is "believe it or not, I used to hate it. Back in the day when I lived in California... I only listened to country. That lasted until I moved to Houston. Performance-wise, I began singing gospel, and I still do. I perform Hip Hop because there is so much more that can be said, you never know what that next thing is that will spark a Christ-centered and life changing decision in a listener's life."
In referance to style -not content, CM was once influenced by Andre 3000, Rakim, and De La Soul. When the point came to change listening preferences, he began to gravitate more toward the music of John Reuben, Thousand Foot Krutch, and LA Symphony.
