Singer, Who is Asia Cruise?

Mickey “MeMpHitz” Wright designed the ideal marketing scheme for his new artist, Asia Cruise. Wright decided to keep Cruise’s identity a secret in order to create an air of mystery around the burgeoning songbird. After releasing her first single, “Selfish,” Cruise finally lifted the veil and introduced herself to the world. With the upcoming release of her debut album Who is Asia Cruise?, Cruise is hoping to establish herself as America’s next pop superstar. –amir shaw

So how did you develop a love for singing?
My mom put me in a singer’s camp when I was younger. I did talent shows and worked on performing. I first performed on stage when I was 10 years old. The crowd really liked it and I began to sing every day.

Do you ever tie in life experiences with your music?
Most of my songs are very personal. I pick a song and try to put my own words and feelings into it. My favorite songs are about my ex-boyfriends. ‘Selfish’ is about a situation where my ex-boyfriend always [wanted] his way. I eventually had to leave him.

You’ve also worked with T-Pain. What has he taught you about the business?
T-Pain is the executive producer of the album. But the most important thing that he taught me was to write my own music. I want to expand myself by writing more and tapping into my entrepreneurial spirit. I understand that music doesn’t last forever.
