Antoine Cabarrus

Christian rap artist, "AC" Antoine Cabarrus, spent his childhood in Orange, New Jersey. He developed a passion for sports and music early in his life, but didn't flourish until his family moved to Huntington, West Virginia. While living in Huntington, AC received a full ride scholarship to play football at Marshall University and earned two bachelors and a master's degree in the process. Antoine joined the United States Army shortly after graduating college in 2009 and rose to the rank of Captain during his military career. As an independent artist, AC became established as a well-known artist in his community and abroad on many mission trips. He has traveled to Taiwan three times, and last summer was his first trip to Africa. While visiting Africa he volunteered in the medical clinic during the day and performed for thousands who attended the conference in the evening. He has plans to return to Taiwan again soon and possibly Africa this summer where he will also share his music and give back any way he can. After releasing his album, 4:13 All Through Christ, AC received national recognition for his hard work. He received six nominations and won 2018 Alternative Christian Rap CD of the Year. His music video to the song "Fallin'" featuring musical artist Melody Joy, became a fan favorite as it quickly reached over 1.2 million views. AC's diverse writing style has allowed him to crossover into many genres and collaborate with several artists outside of the hip-hop realm. His release "The Storm" is a collaboration featuring artist Kelsie May, who was a fan favorite on season 8 of The Voice. This song is on AC's album, Strength in the Dark, which gives a very personal account of his battle and victory over depression after enduring 3 back surgeries. AC released his 6th album "Through It All" that featured several motivational and inspirational songs about current issues that we face every day. The message throughout this album focuses on being able to go through adversity and remain positive while facing multiple hardships in life. In the summer of 2023, AC released two music videos to debut his new album "Let's Go" in Aug 22'. This project is full of energy and has been his best work yet. AC is about to release an action-packed music video using a song from his recent album. He's hit the ground running by releasing a new single, Glow It Up, on January 1 to kick off the year 2024. Furthermore, AC will be making a debut as an actor by playing a small role in the movie The Good Fight that released on January 5th. He is very optimistic about 2024, and the opportunities that continue to come his way.
