He's got you wrapped around his finger........Aaron Lafette


So i have a new artist that I just have to tell you about, I have had the pleasure facebook chatting with up and comer Aaron Lafette last night and boy what a nice guy he is. He has a chart topper that they play on heavy rotation of his local hometown station 96.5 KissFM of Cleveland Ohio. Lafette is already a home town favorite! I have seen him perform at the Ohio homecoming in which he was an opener for Kid Cudi another Clevelander, and at Bar Room where he opened for Flo Rida. With a project in the works with MGK another local rapper, he is sure getting his name and art out there. Born and raised in Cleveland he grew up around many different races and cultures or music and sound. Growing up with his parents divorced was hard but he enjoyed allot of his time with his dad jammin in their jeep to anything from country to pop to rap etc. “ No matter what your dream is or what you feel you are meant to do in life, whether it is as simple as trying to finish school or find a job, as impossible as dreaming of becoming the next pop star or pro athlete, or as important as wanting to fight for our country , we all know what it is like to have people trying to hold us down.” says Lafette, about his current hit.He works with some awesome producers such as Ben Schigel aka BenOfficial and Killah Kalam also affiliated with the group ODOT
He also has a Cleveland street team, for more info on how to join you can contact Todd Louie @tlouuuu or DjEv @djev just to name a few.To find out more about Aaron and to check out his single Wrapped Around.. you can check him out at Twitter/@aaronlafette,Facebook/AaronLaFette, and Myspace/AaronLafette and aaronlafette.com
