Artist name
The name has many inspirations all rooted to the fact that
the original 12 disciples of Jesus Christ were common
people. He found his passion and received his calling for
this art and ministry while still in the United States Air
Force. The most notable trait observed during his term of
service was his uplifted, positive and people oriented
demeanor. Those facets of his personality are just as
tangible in song as they are in person.
Name Change?
On June 4th, 2009 Common Man publishes a blog announcing he
might consider a new name Magmatic. As the rapper explains:
"[...] God has been working with me and challenging me on
some things. After a Wednesday night church service, [...]
He spoke to me clearly. [...] He said that it's time to
move. Really, it was past time, but I needed to stop
resisting... I was walking through Walmart or somewhere and
this is what came to me: Magmatic. "What the heck is that?"
Yeah, it's pretty simple. In case you don't know what Magma
is -it's the same as Lava except it hasn't come out of the
Earth.
The Rock
"It's the hottest liquid imaginable, but it's only hot
because of the source. If not for that source, it would just
be an immobile rock. Well, my source is God. You and I (just
like magma/lava) get colder the further away we go from the
source. We get rigid and change from how the source made
us.
As Christians, God injects us with His spirit and it effects
the way we move, act and react to things. {PS: Magma is like
the blood of the Earth, a mixture of melted rock, our Rock
is Jesus who lives in us (2Sa 22:47 The Lord liveth; and
blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my
salvation.) KJV}
Hip Hop?
After being seen in a local Christian bookstore open mic
session, local Holy Hip Hop giant NameLess sought to develop
the skills and focus further and contributed to a sound
distinctively christian, however appealing to the listener
of any background. When asked "have you always been into Hip
Hop" the knee-jerk response is "believe it or not, I used to
hate it.
Country
Back in the day when I lived in California... I only
listened to country. That lasted until I moved to Houston.
Performance-wise, I began singing gospel, and I still do. I
perform Hip Hop because there is so much more that can be
said, you never know what that next thing is that will spark
a Christ-centered and life changing decision in a listener's
life."
Influences
In reference to style -not content, Common Man was once
influenced by Andre 3000, Rakim, and De La Soul. When the
point came to change listening preferences, he began to
gravitate more toward the music of John Reuben, Thousand
Foot Krutch, and LA Symphony. The closest relation to his
final sound is Craig Nice.
Tool
Cesaron White remains steadfast and eager to be the tool God
uses to reach that next person with his music.
Albums
The rapper released his debut album "Element" in 2007.
