Biography

Meet Calliope Var, an entertainer extraordinaire and one of the most highly respected urban artists currently in the game. He is a New Orleans original who has amassed quite the follow-ing. This rose that grew from concrete is a Music Artist, Songwriter, Director, Filmmaker, and just about anything else you can imagine, as related to entertainment. Calliope Var corners the market on creativity, tempered with an innate ability to cater to his audience's taste. Raised in the notorious Calliope Project (later known as the B. W. Cooper), Calliope Var was first drawn to the music world by the likes of the legendary Mr. Marcelo and Curren$y. His dream of becoming an influential music artist is coming to fruition in the same fashion as that of Lil Wayne, Soulja Slim, Juvenile, and Master P. Just like the aforementioned, he has a tremendous amount of influence in his hometown of New Orleans, Louisiana and beyond. His soon to debut film, "Superish", is highly anticipated and will be one for the ages. It was written by and stars of course, Calliope Var himself, along with Rob Kazi, Ace B, Lucky Johnson, Taz, and more well-known figures. Var has more films and music in the works and is sure to continue his reign of producing quality music, videos and motion pictures. Calliope Var's Hoodstar Entertainment imprint is home to several hit singles, mixtapes and albums. Var has collaborated with some of the hottest architects of the modern music game, including emcees B.G., Mr. Marcelo, Young Roddy, the late greats BTY YoungN and Kingg Tokyo, and Grammy nominated super producer, BlaqNMild. It has been said that a great part of a rapper's appeal lies in his storytelling. Calliope Var not only has the ability to paint a vivid picture, but his lyrics are meaningful and heartfelt. He is a resourceful emcee who captures his listeners' attention in an unrivaled manner. While his music speaks of the cold reality of the streets, it also displays resilience, perseverance and his determination to become one of the most memorable entertainers in Hip Hop history. Calliope Var is widely recognized and lauded for his musical ability, but his greatest achievement probably lies somewhere between his solid philanthropic projects and his keen sense of what is needed to heal some of society's greatest failures. To say he is a neighborhood hero is a serious understatement. One of Dr. Martin Luther King. Jr.'s most well-known quotes is "The measure of a man is what he does with power"
