Meet Cassandra Baker | Female Hip Hop Artist, Host, Business Owner

We had the good fortune of connecting with Cassandra Baker and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Cassandra, let’s start by talking about what inspires you?
Many things come to mind about inspiration and the thing is, it’s varies in factors! My children, my family, my beliefs, my rejections and non-believers in what I am doing in my career as an Artist, Host, and Business Owner. So many times in my life I’ve had people tell me I wasn’t good enough and not talented enough! They told me you got to look this way and act this way! You know what though? It was hurtful and I made my mind up to go even HARDER! At first it was to prove to them that I was good enough, but different! However, I built my confidence up enough to prove myself that I am more than a put down, I am more of a discouragement, I am more than the disrespect! I am fun, loving, talented and more importantly I am ENOUGH!!!

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I am a Female Rap Artist (PinkLash) I am the host of “City Talk” and as well as the owner of “She By PinkLash!” I feel like I have a very different sound and personality then the normal female rap artist that’s booming in todays Entertainment world! I love originality and different vibes! I am that……..DIFFERENT! Although there are so many talented and awesome Female Rap Artist, I’m just a whole different vibe and will always be! Let me elaborate a lil! Once I learn the music and go over it I put my emotions, my pains, my heartbreaks into my delivery! I have to work harder in a sense because I don’t have the same sound, if that makes sense! I am ORIGINAL! I am very proud of myself, not to be vain, but because I had to deal with and still is dealing with the negativity and the put downs because I’m not the normal Female Rap Artist. I learned that everyone won’t like your art but they will eventually hear you and start to feel who you are as an artist! But it wasn’t easy getting to where I am now, although I still got aways to go, I am thankful for the support and love I do have! It really helps when I start to second guess myself! I am still facing challenges with all that I do, but my motivation and determination is stronger! I learned that the people I thought I had in my corner, really wasn’t! But it’s ok, you live and learn to go harder and chase reality instead of a dream! What I mean by that is keep grinding on your passions and don’t let nobody make you feel your not good enough to make it in anything you desire! This is why “City Talk” was created as well! To help Artist and Entertainers learn the steps of the industry from my interviews with local and known celebrities! It’s been a hit and a blessing! One thing, I want EVERYONE to know, which is very affective, is that SUPPORT goes very far, and it doesn’t have to be financial! There is so much I can say and advice I can give, nonetheless, all I can say is stop chasing a dream and wake up and make it your REALITY!!!!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My Family deserves this shoutout because at my beginning stages in my career, it was rough and a lot of time and money as well as emotional back and forth on my end! But they stuck by me and believed in what I was doing! Their also my biggest critics and I love it!
