Sincere
There are 4 artists that go by the name of Sincere. The first is a rapper from the UK. The second is a Belgian band: The third is a rapper from Utrecht, The Netherlands. The fourth is an MC from California, USA.
1)Sinceres first humble step on to the UK rap scene was to feature on a track with underground legend Skinnyman. This was symbolic of Sinceres desire to establish himself as an artist with real integrity, one who could gain the respect much sought after within the underground scene, whilst meeting critical acclaim and ultimately, commercial success. Since this introduction Sincere has regularly performed at Kung Fu, the most successful rap showcase in London, as well as at the Hoxton hotspot Cargo. In the rise of the mixtape he has collaborated extensively with various underground artists in past years, and is already regarded as an established artist by his peers, and an exciting one at that.
Sincere draws influence from American artists such as Jay Z, Nas and Tupac. He does not wish to duplicate their sound, but to merge the calibre of such rappers lyrics, with the unique experiences relevant to London culture. The 21 year old is the co-founder of Young Entrepreneurs Entertainment, an independent record label through which he is currently intending to release his debut album, Now Or Never in 2007.
Sinceres first video release Thats Not Gangsta premiered on Channel U in January 2005 and received immediate rotations from Radio One, Choice FM, XFM, 1Xtra, pirate radio and MTV Base. The excitement has even crossed continents; Thats Not Gangsta has already received regular play by Skyrock, the largest urban radio station in France, as well as reaching 17 in French MTVs YO rap chart.

4) Sincere Tyler born in the USA.
Rapper/singer Sincere began working at his craft when he was only 8 years-old, emulating his older family members with his own style of rap to impress his friends. He’s made a name for himself with his freeform, unrehearsed style, and has also gained attention from a few of his songs with samples of well-known mainstream rock and pop songs. It’s not every hip hop song that features an intro to a Journey song or the acoustic guitar part from an Avril Lavigne track.
In the recording studio, he is known to just step in front of the microphone and let the words flow, with no rehearsal, hesitation or preconceived notion. He won’t name inspirations, compare himself to anyone or go out of his way to explain who he is. He chooses to let his music speak for him.
“That’s the best form of creativity: just take it as it comes,” says Sincere, 25, from Southern California. “Somebody had an Avril Lavigne song on their MySpace page and I was like hmm, let me see if I can find something that I can sample on Avril Lavigne. I saw the title of “Things I’ll Never Say,” clicked on it, and it was a great song. It was perfect, and exactly how I wanted to use it.”
The finished product became “Never Say,” his own track expressing himself about the things he never said to a loved one. Extremely passionate about music, Sincere sees himself as humble, passionate yet very strong, and wants to appeal to “all shapes of life.”
“You can just tell that I love music,” he says. “Music is every shade of life, from anger to happiness, happiness to sadness. Some songs you already have it and it just flows. I just take it as it comes.”
His music will appear on an upcoming commercial for eBay and on a DVD import later this year. He’s working on an album currently and he has only been with Artists for Artists for a short time, but is making the most of the association.
SIncere has worked with many artists in the Music Biz...he continues today with an artist that he recently teamed up with hailing from the Dirty South. R&B Sensation Corey Franks. Thery have done numerous tracks together but their most recent is ready to set fire. "Sweet Dreams", is something for the old and new generations. Watch out for it!!
