TOUR | DAVE EAST

|CHAPTER ONE|

*STARASIA'S POV*
People may describe me as the princess of R&B right now.

They may just be right.

Who else is dominating the R&B charts like me?

Who else is selling out all of their R&B tours like me?

Well, besides Chris Brown, of course.

The name is Starasia Walker.

And if you're wondering, yes, I'm actually related to Summer Walker. We're cousins.

First cousins at that. Pretty cool.

I'm the age of twenty six, and I've been in the industry since age fourteen.

Don't get me wrong, the music industry can be very wicked at times. But, that never stops me from doing what I love the most.

Music is something that I have been passionate about since I was a very young child.

My parents would always catch me singing and dancing around the house all of the time.

That started about the age of three.

When I first started school, I decided to join the school choir. And to my surprise, I ended up being one of the best singers in the elementary and middle school choir.

It was the summer after eighth grade that changed my life completely.

My best friend Cyn and I had been creating YouTube videos on our best friend joint channel for a while, maybe since like fifth grade at that point.

We would do vlogs, pranks, whatever we could think of. But everyone that viewed our channel had their favorite videos to watch.

My singing videos.

I would create covers of popular songs, and little by little, the views on them racked up.

I had just turned fourteen when my videos were caught on YouTube by Usher Raymond.

Yes, THEE Usher Raymond. The You Make Me Wanna Usher Raymond!

Both Cyn and I were so stoked, we didn't know what to do with ourselves.

Usher had found my contact email, and he ended up emailing me saying he wanted to hear me sing in person for him.

With no hesitation, I showed my mom the email. At first, she didn't believe it. But when she realized it was really Usher, she hit him back quicker than ever.

Let's just say within a week later, I was the newest signed artist to RBMG. Which stands for Raymond-Braun Media Group.

Usher is the owner of if. Scooter Braun is the co owner of it.

If you have no idea who Scooter Braun is and you've been living under a rock, he's the manager of Justin Bieber and Demi Lovato.

Scooter used to manage Ariana Grande too, but she left him.

Scooter wasn't my manager, though.
