Life & Work with Little Comic of China Grove

Today we’d like to introduce you to Little Comic

Hi Little , we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My story starts at the age of 2 yrs old. I became interested in drums ironically with no drum set. I would grab straws toothbrushes, and utensils then bang on couches, tables, the floor, the bed. I couldn’t get enough of creating a beat on my own or to the music playing on the radio. People would come visit and ask what I was doing and my parents would say I think he wants to be a drummer.

My parents finally took me to Guitar Center and I must say that was and still is such a magical place for me. It was like a candy store or toy store is to most kids. I was so happy to enter the store and would throw tantrums when it was time to go. My first time trying real drums there I drew a crowd in. No one could believe how I played them not even my parents. My parents went online to buy me a drumkit on Amazon (I still have it). Soon after at about the age of 4 I became interested in The Beatles. I researched and watched all I could about them. I was determined to learn every hit song of theirs that I could. Ringo soon became my favorite drummer and I wanted my drumset set up in a way where I could play it like he did left handed. I soon learned to play most of their songs both left handed and right handed.

After learning how to play every song I could, my parents and I would go downtown by The Riverwalk in San Antonio to perform live. I had a sign saying help me meet Ringo Starr. We figured the more videos we would get out there from the tourists filming the better chance I had. The street would fill quickly with many people. Most times the San Antonio police would have to come gather the people off the street. It was so exciting. Like a concert in the street. Unfortunately I never got to meet Ringo Starr as of yet, and after going out about 4 times for about 15 minutes each we gave up.

I soon started to perform at local restaurants and bars. My first real performance was at Fitzgerald’s Bar. I was so nervous I performed on the floor verses the stage. I am honored to have built a friendship with the owners Karen and Sharon Perkins who still invite me over from time to time,

At the age of 6 I told my parents I was a bass player and wanted a Hofner Bass like Paul McCartney. Having played the drums for many years they insisted I was a drummer not a bass player. I soon got gifted a Hofner from Santa that Christmas and learned to play it by ear with my thumb. It was too big to carry so I layed it on the floor and played it with my thumb. I couldn’t get enough of it.

The bass is what got my original music going. I would create bass lines and drum lines to produce my own music. My dad would do the rest. We bonded even more through our love for music. We would jam together sometimes even duet together on stages singing The Beatles classics. Me on bass and him on guitar. Ironically my dad likes playing guitar and although I can play it I have to say it is my least favorite instrument.

Now I am 11 and love to play the piano. I recently learned to play Bennie and the Jets by Elton John by ear and performed it in Los Angeles at a fashion show.

Since I am able to play the instruments by ear I can now produce my own music. I have my own studio NMEYRUME Studios and I help others via online zoom to bring their visions to life. I want to be able to help people create their own beats they hear in their head vs going to youtube and grabbing something from there.

I first started performing live, and signing up for competitions around Texas. I performed my original songs and won everone of them including Hustle Town Network Kids Competition and Southside Got Talent Competition. I even won most prestigious award for an upcoming artist in Vegas.

As my social media grows I have been fortunate to have been invited to perform at The Los Angeles Fashion Show powered by SAS movies LA, The Las Vegas Variety Circus-Fest, Fiesta De Los Reyes, Semana Alegre, Los Angeles Fashion Kids Fashion Show powered by former Soul Train dancer Brandy Sanders , Carfest and Brandys Disco Ball where I got to entertain The LegendarySoulTrain Dancers. I even got to interview with the Legendary Tony Da wiz on his podcast Rodium Radio in Los Angeles this year. I have even been invited to perform at a festival in Russia!

I have been blessed to have opened up for many acclaimed acts including That Girl Lay Lay in South Carolina, Zro, Little Kiki, King Kyle, Bizzy Bone from Bone Thugs and Harmony just to name a few.

I have done many other things like acting and modeling which led me to New York Fashion Week, but I always come back to music. It’s great to have other talents like modeling and acting so that I am versatile but my love will always be music.

Throughout my years I have had many blessings come my way, but the true blessing is my gift of music. I plan to use my platform to spread the word of God. That’s the least I can do for Him.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It has not been a smooth road as some people tend to not take me seriously since I’m a kid. They think my parents are forcing me to do this without knowing the true story behind it. Also some obstacles are not having a place to perform to kids. I mostly have to perform to adults. I want more of a kid fan base. I get that through my Tiktok but I would like more support from our local schools where I can perform to kids.

As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I am known for providing entertainment. I am a singer, dancer, model, music producer, designer, and multi instrumentalist.

I am most proud of coming out multiple times on our local stations Kens5, Ksat, Salive, Great Day SA, San Antonio Living, and Daytime. I also got featured in our local paper San Antonio Express News.

I would say what sets me apart from the rest is my look. People love my hair and wonder if it’s real…well it is! They also love my clothing line which I help to design and style. I give it the classic style that I learned to love at 4 yrs old. I also am a model and multi instrumentalist which means I am versatile and can perform at more places. I can entertain any age.

What are your plans for the future?
My plans for the future are to make by business: NMEYRUME Studios grow. I want to sell my music beats and help others bring their vision to life. I want to be able to manage others and get them the look, shows, and followers they deserve. I also want to become a super star or the next best music producer out there.
