Bio:
QuinceLu, or Quince for short, is a versatile and influential music artist from South Florida that currently resides in Tallahassee. His musical influences include older MC’s such as Outcast, Jay Z, and Big Pun; as well as newer MC’s such as Kendrick Lamar, ASAP Rocky, J Cole, & Drake. The inspiration for the subject matter he references is derived from his experiences growing up as an immigrant, as well as the experiences of those close to him. Never one to brag in discussion, Quince is a believer in letting the music relay the message first, then opening up the forum for questions later. He is one of the rare few to truly take responsibility for his lyrics, and use them to make the listener think, smile, cry, and most importantly, live better. His aspiration to serve others and promote equality amongst people keeps him vigilant in pressing into his future, and thus lead him to create his own movement which he calls “ OTM” (OnTheMove). It represents everything he raps about and focuses on encouraging people to never stay complacent and press forward in their lives. Quince, who is only 20 years old, is now quickly emerging as one of the best underground hip hop artist from Tallahassee, Florida. Beginning a new trend of music his sound and stories are unlike that of any artist. Quince has visions to sustain those around him with his accomplishments and success. With a passion for the youth, he desires to encourage them to remain confident in themselves, be true and make the right choices.
