Seattle singer-rapper Paradame has an alluring way about her, with music that deviates from the commercial sounds of the genres it bridges while still remaining accessible. As both a solo artist and one-half of the experimental hip hop group Active I , Paradame has been busy paving her own lane as an artist since her debut on Audiodose Records in 2011. Her blending of dark electronica and R&B laced with smooth but fiery vocals has continued to acuminate throughout the course of releasing three solo albums, in addition to two albums with Active I, and over 50 guest features on various mixtapes and EPs.

Paradame’s songwriting skill and live performances display an unmistakable uniqueness and attitude, coupled perfectly by producer J.Lee Mezus’ bass-heavy rhythms, which have been hailed by industry critics and fans alike. Altogether, her sound heavily rooted in hip hop, draws from various influences, fusing elements of dark wave, R&B, soul, and punk rock. With an energy often laced with darkness, yet wielding a message of light, she’s earned the meaning of her name – the paradoxical dame.

Old skool vinyl junkie, slowly moving into 21st century, kicking and screaming.

Always one take, never use beat sync, minimal FX.

All mixes took as long to make as they do to listen to.

Break it till you make it 👍🏼

He started on the Cleveland underground scene in late 2000, early 2001, doing mostly open mic and underground shows at The Rhythm Room.  He quickly caught the ear of another underground rapper/promoter Deuce Dirty and the two began working together shortly after.  Soon thereafter, he would begin to build his own record label and learned to produce, record, and mix his own and other underground artists' music.  C. Factor was set to release his solo debut " One Way Street " in 2004 but decided to scrap the whole project in order to start fresh on a new album with more of his own production.  He has worked with some of the most talented artists in the Cleveland underground, namely Deuce Dirty, Proffitt, K. Justice, Poet, Hustla Shock, Kory the Krusher and local producers Big Dus, Phil Paige and Josh Branny to name a few.  C. Factor has also opened for a ton of major label acts that have come to Cleveland such as Tech9ine, Bone Thugs and Harmony, Mike Jones, Paul Wall, Method Mad, Too $hort, Ying Yang Twins, Lloyd Banks and a few more.  He has also done shows overseas in Zadar, Croatia and a couple of shows in Ontario, Canada.  He has had a major hand in production and recording for other underground artists in the Cleveland area.

Factor.  Eastwick still has an unrealeased/unfinished album titled " SettinEWstandarZ" which will be showcased through SoundCloud.  In May 2006 C. Factor released his solo effort " Expect The Unexpected " with the club banger " Swangin Feat. Hustla Shock" as his lead single.  In the summer of 2007 C. Factor, Hustla Shock, and ,Texas native, YungLi formed a rap group that went by C.L.S. and started recording the self-titled album with highly regarded studio engineer M20, the album was never finished and only 4 songs were recorded.  Shortly after, C. Factor decided to put music on hold for a while citing personal reasons.  While he has over 75 plus songs of original material and an estimated 1,000 instrumentals, C. Factor still isn't satisfied and is currently easing his way back into the game as a producer.  While production is the heart and soul of his work, he still has a passion to write.
