Growing up in a rough environment never let Hea-Von get away from her dreams. From being a foster child and growing up in Detroit shelters, to selling drugs and dancing in strip clubs, Hea-Von learned and gained a hustler’s mentality. She is now the CEO/Founder of her own record label Who Is She Records (Offices in Detroit and Atlanta).

Hea-Von’s passion for music comes from her background: “Where I come from it took a lot of drive and passion to make it here were I am today, Being a female to have my own independent record label, is actually a testimony of what I’m doing right now.”

Her record label only signs and produce female entertainment: “Female entertainment is something that the industry needs more of. Women have a voices that tend to be put aside or under but being on my record label I give that artist their own voice by giving them the chance to do what they like to do.” 

Hea-Von has also experienced the struggles of an artist trying to get a record deal: “Yeah I moved down to Atlanta with nothing, I was like man I want a record deal so bad so I started performing shows and a A&R from Collipark Records showed me love, I was on the verge of getting the biggest deal of my life, but everything just fell through they wanted me to do music that I wasn’t particularly trying to do, I’m not a machine my music comes from my heart. After going through that I realized starting my own record label would be the best thing for me.” 

“#1 D-Girl” Hea-Von’s single is quickly rising through the radio airwaves around the country it’s the first single from her debut album “Gettin in the Game”: “#1 D-Girl really means #1 Driven it’s kind of funny because people always say dope girl or Detroit girl. With “Getting in the Game” I will be coming from a traditional standpoint I’m going to drop as many singles from the album as possible until the buzz gets bigger and see how the fans take my music they will decide when my “Getting in the Game” drops.  

Hea-Von just recently went to and performed at the Underground Girls of Hip-Hop Honors in Los Angeles on May 22, 2010: “It was a great experience for me. I met a lot of people who paved the way for female entertainment, Shout outs to Lady Rage, Queen Pen, and Michel’le. I performed and people were like your next, you got what it takes. So big ups to Underground girls of Hip Hop, I enjoyed myself out there.” 

Born and raised in Detroit one of the most poverty stricken cities in America and most effected cities due to the economy Hea-Von wants to put her city back on the map: “Detroit is big in music history, everyone from Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and Diana Ross came from Motown records to know that and to see were the city is now really hurts, I’m putting the city on my back and its definitely going to be groundbreaking the best is yet to come.” 

Beef between female rappers shouldn’t exist they are outnumbered success would be easier if their was more unity: “Nikki Minaj and Lil Kim are both great female entertainers but the look of the beef is terrible for hip-hop because first female entertainment is far in between and a lot of women don’t even rap. I like both artists a lot Nikki Minaj is holding it down right now for mainstream that’s who people talk about. Lil kim was a superstar nobody gave the game what she did in her prime she paved the way for a whole lot of female rappers.”
