Cashmere - "Because I have Good Material!"

 

James “Cashmere” Robinson was born in St. Louis, raised in the Bay Area, and moved to Los Angeles in 2000.  The quintessential artist/entrepreneur, following in the footsteps of such greats as Sean “Puffy” Combs and Sean “Jay-Z” Carter, Cashmere, has proved himself a successful business leader and an inspiring entertainer.

    

As an Artist, Cashmere has worked in the studio with the Isley Brothers, performed with India Arie at CSU Northridge, and has been showcased at a long list of various landmarks around LA including BB Kings Café Universal CityWalk, The Legendary Whisky, The Gig, The House of Blues, and more.

    

As an entrepreneur, in 2005, he started an audio/video installation service company entitled INSTALLutions, where  he developed a respectable client list of over 200 people that include such celebrities as Katt Williams, Duane Martin, Tisha Cambell and Black Thought of The Roots.  He also started producing and hosting the Red Light Lounge in March 2009, a soul and poetry based talent showcase that has quickly grown to be one of the most popular in the LA music scene today.

    

In addition to his work as an artist and entrepreneur, James is an activist who believes in the power of Hip-Hop to make a difference in the community.  Cashmere invented the Hip-Hop School Workshop in 2009, to further this mission..  Already the Hip-Hop School Workshop has been presented on the campuses of CSU Northridge and CSU Dominguez Hills.  The Hip-Hop School is as an avenue through which to inspire and inform students about the true origins and principles of Hip-Hop, and to illustrate Hip-Hop as a positive artform of self-expression.

Cashmere will be releasing his debut album “Success Already”, September of 2014.
