"I can't express how exciting it is to be releasing my first EP. I really just want to thank my fans for being so supportive throughout this journey. I can't wait to share this new music with them and meet them in person on tour." said Cab.
A recent high school graduate, Cab began releasing music in 2010, and quickly gained a dedicated online following. Fellow Miami native Pharrell Williams became an early supporter after meeting the musician through a friend and hearing his music. "I knew from the moment he grabbed his guitar and sang that first note that with the proper nurturing, that kid had it. He is merely warming up." said Williams, "This kid is just getting started."
The music video for Cab's cover of Wiz Khalifa's "Black & Yellow" was viewed over 350,000 times upon release and his latest release, "Good Girls" was buzzed about enough to be featured on Billboard.com. Go here to check it out.
