For the past eight years, he has also been composing his own music. Tristan recently released a single titled Child with Bristol Studios in Boston, Massachusetts.

Tristan learned about the world of acting at a very young age. He was very shy as a child so his mother signed him up for a theater summer camp. Because of his introverted nature, he declined any speaking roles. His first stage role was that of the Sun. His job was to raise or bring down a picture of the Sun as the narrator instructed. Tristan continued participating in theater from that point forward. At the age of ten, during a visit to New York City, Tristan saw the Broadway musical production of The Phantom of the Opera for the first time. At that moment, Tristan also became devoted to music. Soon after his trip to New York, after much begging and pleading, his parents bought him a piano.

Tristan’s love for music and singing continued to grow. During his high school years, he performed in several leading roles for several musical productions. He was cast as Archibald Craven in The Secret Garden, as Clyde in the musical Bonnie and Clyde, as Brett in 13 The Musical and as Sweeney Todd in Sweeney Todd the Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Tristan recently performed at Boston College Theater of Performing Arts as Billy Flynn in the musical Chicago. Tristan has also performed in other non musical plays such as the Importance of Being Earnest as Algernon and Get It Together as Harold, among others. Read more on Celebration of Music.

Infamous Thierry Drops 'Projects' Lyric Video On YouTube

Cameron Thierry is better known to his fans as Infamous Thierry. The name “Infamous” was given to him by an OG when he was young, and it stuck when he later found it was a synonym for “notorious.” Thierry explains that “Infamous is a representation of the hoods across the world, about having enough ambition to make it out.” With “I Remember” at 2.5 million views on YouTube, he has scheduled his new single “Projects” to drop early summer. “It’s a song for everyone in the world, whoever came from where they were to prosperity,” he says, “it explains a lot of what I had to do and what I lost to make it out.”

Infamous Thierry represents his hometown of Baton Rouge, Louisiana where Boosie Badazz, Webbie, and Kevin Gates originated. He states, “I grew up listening to Webbie’s “Savage Life,” Lil Boosie’s “Badazz,” Kevin Gates’ “All Or Nothin’,” and Lil Wayne’s “Tha Carter.” Listening to these artists inspired Thierry to start making music around the age of seven, leading to his career in the entertainment and music industry, which he feels to be his greatest achievement so far.

The sound he brings to his music has been influenced heavily by Boosie, Webbie, Kevin Gates, Lil Wayne, Juvenile, Meek Mill, Drake, Future, Nipsey Hussle, and Wiz Khalifa. As of right now, his playlist consists of Meek Mill, Young Dolph, Drake, Kevin Gates, and Dave East. “If I could collaborate with any one artist living or dead it would have to be Jay Z. I chose Jay because I know it wouldn’t jus’ be a song he’d give me so much knowledge-making that one track. Plus the song would be a classic,” Thierry says.

Kevin Gates hasn't been behind bars since 2018, but that hasn't stopped him from returning to a prison to visit another rap star inmate.

July 8th, a photo of Gates and C-Murder was uploaded to the incarcerated rapper's Instagram account. In the photos, C-Murder meets with Gates, who covers his face with a stack of cash.

"REAL RECOGNIZE REAL. @iamkevingates came through and hollered at Cee. Nothing but respect for the homie Gates. A lot so call real left the homie hanging. You have to be real when you take time out your celebrity life to visit a homie in the pen. Salute @iamkevingates for the realest shit. #freecee #freeleelucus #freebigmarlo @freecornbread #freemac #tru4life #justice #tru #trudat #trumovement #freecmurder," C-Murder wrote in his caption.

C-Murder, who was born Corey Miller, is still behind bars after he was convicted of second-degree murder in 2009 for a 2002 nightclub killing. His request for a retrial was denied by a judge earlier this year. Judge Steven Enright of 24th Judicial District Court ruled on Jan. 23 that C-Murder's defense did not make a compelling case for any kind of post-conviction relief. Enright said that the recantation of both witnesses' testimonies are "highly suspicious."

Both his brother Master P and his nephew Romeo Miller have been extremely vocal about C-Murder's release even before the witnesses recanted their testimony. Two of Miller’s friends and collaborators, Cuttboy G-Dinero and 2Meka Diaz, submitted his case to Reasonable Doubt, a true-crime show with the TV network Investigation Discovery in August 2017. When the investigators on the show searched for Jordan and another witness, Jordan finally stepped forward to change his story.

“I think he was all of a sudden ready to talk, and I think he saw that show as an opportunity to put the truth out there,” Barker said.

Cuttboy G Dinero says he has a new single with C-Murder coming soon, “Dey Put Da Blame On Me,” which was recorded while Miller was on house arrest before his 2009 conviction. The snippet can be heard here. The song will be featured as a main single on the “Hip Hop Cruises To Jamaica” compilation album.
