Back in 2017, Rowan Alumni Association awarded Sha Vlimpse the #ROWAN17 graduation prize package, which included a hotels.com gift card and a $500 airline voucher.
“I plan on using it when the right time presents itself,” Sha had always said. Sha is a rising performer who performs his original music and rap at university venues. He aspires to grow and share his music with the world. He knew the time would eventually come when he would cash in this #ROWAN17 prize. That time is now.
“I made a music video called ‘Sabu‘ named after a former WWE Superstar Sabu. The video hit a million views and caught Sabu’s attention,” Sha says. “He’s contacted me to remake the video with him. He was in Vegas, I was in Jersey. I knew this was time to play the cards.”
After two years of holding, Sha finally played them. He recently went to Las Vegas, thanks to his #ROWAN17 winnings, and recreated the Sabu music video with the legendary wrestler in it.
“Video will be dropping in March,” he says.
So what’s he up to now? Sha is currently on a college tour promoting the album, which will be released on April 8.
“I am an independent artist currently connecting with colleges and high schools to get involved in musical events, or being a key speaker.”
