Today we’d like to introduce you to Concept Corleone.
Hi Concept, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today.
There’s a quote I once heard “I see my life in terms of music.”―Albert Einstein! That’s a quote I’ll never forget because I was born for music! I didn’t choose music, music chose me! I was born with this talent. I discovered myself through music when I was a 12-year-old young man! Started by creating my first mixtape on CDs freestyling and selling them on the streets of downtown Minneapolis.
During my journey, I’ve been through it all. It has been one crazy but enjoyable ride! My music life has brought me to the bottom of the bottom and top of the top, and I’m okay with that. From first recording my first album in my uncle’s basement studio to being homeless, Fights, Shootouts, having my daughter & Thrown to the wolves to standing and performing on stage in front of thousands, that’s why my fans and other local musicians would tell you I’m a “legend of Minneapolis.” At 33 years old now, I can tell you from 12 years old when I first started music to now my passion for music has only gotten deeper.
One of my greatest music moments in life was performing at First Ave and being put in the position where I was not on the streets anymore and finding solitude. I find peace in my music, and it sets me free and allows me to express myself through my words and voice. Come check me out and follow me on my YouTube Page and Music Journey! CONCEPT CORLEONE
We all face challenges, but looking back, would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
My work speaks for itself but we can start from the beginning, I started making music at the age of twelve. My heart has always been in music since a young man, Music has the power to transport us to another time and place. I grew up in the lovely hometown of Minneapolis, MN, and take pride in my hometown through my music.
I got the great opportunity of meeting multiple known people in Minneapolis one of them being Tom who owns Toms Watch Bar and shockingly created the Mcgriddle! This is a great accomplishment of mine seeing I have a passion for cooking, which goes hand and hand with me being hired through Toms and meeting more well-accomplished people on an everyday basis that’s why ever since a young age, I have found great joy and satisfaction by being involved in the creative music process. I am known for being a Minneapolis “Legend” Through Musicians & Fans as they saw me work my way up which is another great accomplishment of mine.
I came up on my own through rap music from the bottom from selling my first mixtape on the streets to performing on stage in front of thousands. Here is a touch on my music journey and so much more to learn about me through my music journey that will continue.
How do you define success?
Success is a very strong and powerful word but yet a stronger action, I’d say taking care of your self-worth, self-care, Positively impacting the world & Being You! & of course great lengths of financial stability.
That’s how I define my success.
