2006-05-0910 QUESTIONS WITH CLEO OF HANGOUT! KM got the opportunity to ask 10 random Questions to Hangout chorist CLEO about music and more. You will find some interesting answers in there. Check it out. 10 QUESTIONS FOR CLEO (ANYTHING GOES)
1) Why the new single CLEO? What are you trying or hoping to accomplish with it? Is there a full cd on the way?
CLEO: Pat, the single is well overdue. Why? Well! The belief is that Cleo cannot sing or Cleo is an extra fat in Hangout, I’m only known for making drama not music and the list goes on and on. So, my plan is to make music now and run from drama. Is there a full CD in works, the answer is YES.
1a) How does Hangout feel about it?
CLEO: I think they’ll support me; since my solo project won’t take anything away from my work in Hangout which is “Background”. Lol…
2) Out of all the producers in the market, what made you choose TI REGI for the very important step of your first single?
CLEO: Ti Regi was one of the people that usually asked me when are you going to shut-up the people from the internet. I think back in December Hangout was playing with Djakout at Recreation night club and Ti Regi said me to that I would be in Miami next week, why don’t you come to my studio and work on something. Like they said the rest is history.
3) We had a topic about that on the KM Board. Now we Will ask you that question. Do our HMI divas pull for one another? Why or why not?
CLEO: It’s with great regret, but I would have to say no. Let me give you an example: there are two well known female artists in the HMI. When one of the female had gotten in some heat with some of her peers; the other female artist was manifesting with joy. I think when a female are artist is doing well in the market, most if all the others are not happy about that; because it is not themselves.
4) HMI hunk of your choice...James Cardozo, Richie, Sexy Nicky, Gazzman Couleur or Pouchon Duverger? Why?
CLEO: Is that a trick question? Because you inserted some of my very best friends in that list of hunk. However, there is only one person in that list that is qualified to be called a hunk and that person is…………..? To be continued.
5) Where do you stand in the abortion issue? Are you PRO-LIFE, or should a woman have the right to choose?
CLEO: I don’t believe in abortion. However, I do believe its’ the woman’s right to choose; since it’s her body and it’s her life.
6) What's the one thing that you would want people to know about you that does NOT get through to the public as a performer?
CLEO: I am all about satisfying the fans, so every time I hit the stage I always give my 110% even when I don’t feel like it.
7) If you were not part of Hangout, which HMI band would you want to be a part of?
CLEO: Magnum Band…
8) What attracts you so much to HMI musicians? It seems that your relationships are always "IN THE BUSINESS". Why?
CLEO: Well! It’s all about convenience…with all the traveling, rehearsals and studio work I do. An average Joe would not be too understanding about what I do. So, that’s why? Musicians usually attract musicians and that’s all it is.
9) Would you ever get back in a group with the ladies from Dsire?
CLEO: From where I’m standing, I don’t see that happening. I never said never.
10) Which musician in the business has done the most for you career wise in the HMI? Why and explain.
CLEO: I can’t answer that question yet; for my journey is still in the works. Check back with me in a year or so after I have an album out and I have gain more respect for my craft.
