Your next RNB obsession? Her name is Destiny Cashma. Hailing from Atlanta, GA, Cashma always knew this path was where she belonged "Music started in me . It?s been with me from the beginning . It?s crazy my mom used to write in my baby books. She thought I would be a singer because I was always humming ."

Cashma started on social media with covers that showed off her amazing vocal abilities in various ranges and caught the attention of Kalombo Records founder, Mike Kalombo. That collaboration sparked her Yondo produced debut ?City Of Betrayal?which was released along with the music video exclusively on Gold Crwn. According to Cashma working with Mike was organic as ever "We create most art from scratch. He?ll start laying down instruments and I?ll freestyle on the mic or vice versa, It?s all about frequency?s. Music is sound waves . If you pay attention, the music is always there waiting to be created . You just gotta tap into it" . Three days prior to the released she posted a sneak peek of the song to her Instagram, where she sung it live and too no surprise you almost thought it was the track.

Artist have different and sometimes weird places that they write the best songs, Cashma's debut single was written in her bathroom "I wrote this song late at night in my bathroom. I swear my best songs are created there. I turned on the beat and started free styling ?Yes I?m heartless , a little lawless ? and from there I knew the song was about to be trouble . It was effortless ." She continued " The recording process was a vibe. I showed Mike the song the day before and he loved it. We got in the studio the next day, laid it down and knew it was special. "

What is your favorite part about the Atlanta music scene?

DC: "The people. There?s so much talent coming out of Atlanta right now. I salute everybody out here fighting for good art .

What artist inspires you?

DC: "Im the last of the 90?s babies so I grew up having a love for 90?s R&B. My early influences were Usher and Mariah Carey .

How do you plan to deal with the negatives of being a music artist on social media?

DC: "I love this question . Rarely do you hear people talk about the negatives. I plan to post my art and go . It?s easy to get wrapped up in a world that doesn?t exist outside of four screen corners but it?s just that it doesn?t exist. Whatever you feed your brain grows. So , many times I?ll take vacations to feed my brain with real food, good people and great creation.
