The daughter of gangsta-rapper-turned-philanthropist Master P kicked off her tour at Hamilton Middle School in Memphis, Tennessee yesterday, where she performed and spoke to an assembly of thousands about the "importance of education, how to deal with peer pressure, bullying and saying NO to drugs." The young pop singer was signed by Sony records after the success of her 'Lil Miss Swagger' single, and has been previously compared to Beyonce and Miley Cyrus, although her humanitarian aims set her apart from most artists.
"It's my passion to encourage young people to be confident, believe in themselves and don't let negative influences or haters hinder you from achieving success in reaching your goals," Cymphonique said in a statement. "It doesn't matter how old or young you are, we all have a God-given talent and can contribute to making this world a better place."
The 'All That' school tour will continue on through Florida, Texas, Arizona, Louisiana and California, as Cymphonique attempts to empower, inspire and educate her fellow teens. For more information, click here.
