Cabo Don Releases ‘Outsiders’ Featuring Trey Detroit
Hailing from Texas, multi-talented instrumentalist and artist Cabo Don is well-versed in the art of juggling unique talents. Having walked the same halls as the likes of J Cole following his stint at St John’s University, the classically trained pianist and violinist has since been embarking on a never-ending mission to create pop excellence. Following the expansion of his ever-growing discography and head-bobbing release ‘Stay The Night’, Cabo Don now returns with ‘Outsiders’ – an irresistibly upbeat offering featuring R&B maestro Trey Detroit.
Under his current nom de plume Cabo Don, Don has shown a natural affinity for collaboration. Demonstrating the organic value and depth that joining forces brings, Don has worked with the likes of JVZEL; an artist who boasts a star-studded repertoire with credits such as Baby Keem, Far East Movement, Kendrick Lamar, and Rihanna.
By fusing the perfect melodic and upbeat pop flares with hip hop and R&B tones and seamlessly integrating them, Cabo Don’s latest offering lends itself to an aestival experience that envelopes its listener in a romantic, reflective moment.
Open to all avenues of creative exploration, Cabo Don’s latest offering showcases a new-found self-awareness and an evolved approach as he consistently works to deliver his learning in the form of song. Crafting a refreshingly different sound that is also consistent with the stylistic trends of today’s pop soundscapes, ‘Outsiders’ sees the artist double down on layered, school hip-hop production as he navigates his life experiences,
As his collaborator Trey Detroit croons over an energetic beat, he strikes the perfect balance of sophisticated cadence and recite-worthy hooks resulting in a cleverly complex track in wonderfully simple clothing. As Cabo Don continues to interlink classic, evergreen styles with pleasing, unexpected flips, his signature unruffled and unhurried production technique is one that resonates with every popular music lover.
With a repertoire that delivers instantly recognisable tones for fans, reminiscent of the likes of KYLE, Maroon 5, and Dram; you can expect non-stop pop hits from Cabo Don.
Reflecting on his latest offering, Cabo Don shared: “This track is for all the people who wish their situationship would turn into something more real. Really soon.”
Aaron makes music about meaningful topics that rocks and grooves – and sometimes it even skanks on a rock steady beat!
His new song ‘Geeks’ has been released on all major music platforms on November 15th. It is an anthem for the heroes of the digital age: computer nerds, also known as geeks. It is driven by an off-beat ska guitar, a sticky bass line and a groovy brass section. The icing on the cake is a jazzy saxophone solo.
“I have always loved Ska, I even saw the Specials, the Selecter and Madness live in their heydays”, says Aaron. “I chose the topic although I am not a geek myself, but I have a lot of sympathy for them. Geeks are often frowned upon because they can be socially awkward, but they are the ones who are building a better world. So I think they deserve an anthem.”
The music video is mostly made up of typography, minimalistic ASCII graphics and heavily pixelated images – it surely looks geeky! Watch it here:
Aaron writes catchy songs that are made for people who like meaningful, uplifting topics and guitar-driven, hand-made sounds. His musical journey started young but it wasn’t until he discovered Bitcoin and became so invested in it that he used music to express his new found joy.
“It’s mostly rock music, with excursions into funk, soul and other styles I grew up with. In general, it’s guitar-driven and hand-made, often with a punkish energy and beatlesque harmonies. What all my songs have in common are meaningful lyrics about being in the here and now, about transforming disturbing emotions into wisdom, about being in the flow, things like that.” says Aaron in an interview.
“I have always been making music and writing songs, starting with a punk rock band when I was 15. However, I never saw it as a career. I played in several bands in my teenage years and my early twenties, but after my media studies in Berlin and Rio de Janeiro I focused on other things. I first worked in TV production and then founded one of the first Internet agencies in Germany. I discovered Bitcoin in 2011 and became fascinated by it. I wrote five books about it, made lots of promotional videos and educational series for Bitcoin and blockchain companies, and organised events. I even wrote some songs about Bitcoin, which became quite popular in the community, like my Reggaeton about the Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. People always liked that my songs are catchy and provocative. It was by the end of 2023 that I decided to go full in on music. It’s what I enjoy the most, so now I want to fully follow my passion.”
Since May 2024, his songs have been streamed more than 250,000 times on Spotify and his music videos have been viewed more than 350,000 times on YouTube.
