" How many people do you know who are trying to get discovered by posting covers on YouTube a la Justin Bieber? We&amp;#039;d bet tons. While posting videos of yourself singing seems to be an effective way to get noticed, in the end, what really matters is whether or not you can step out from behind the protection of your computer screen and blow everyone away. Well, Miami native Cris Cab has made a name for himself doing just that! At only 18 years old, a completely unsigned Cris got his start releasing cover videos on YouTube. But these aren&amp;#039;t any old cover vids. No, Cris takes the world of cover songs very seriously and churns out full-blown music videos for his fans to check out. Most recently, Cris released his A-MAZING cover of Kanye West and Rihanna&amp;#039;s jam &amp;quot;All Of The Lights.&amp;quot; Cris doesn&amp;#039;t like to brag so we&amp;#039;ll do it for him and tell you that his killer Kanye cover got over 26,000 hits in just under two days and is currently clocking in at a whopping 110,500 hits to date. But, while Cris loves him some cover tunes, the kid also writes his own songs. Just in time for summer, this past week Cris released his latest original song, a laid-back reggae tune called &amp;quot;Good Girls.&amp;quot; This latest release not only solidifies Cris as a songwriter, but also supports the rumors we&amp;#039;ve heard that he&amp;#039;s won the attention of superstar producer Pharrell. Ok, well actually they&amp;#039;re not rumors anymore. Cris has just confirmed it&amp;#039;s true! The all-mighty Pharrell is a key mentor to Cris and helps oversee a lot of his music. Cris swears his high school classmates are fully supportive of his budding career, and with graduation just around the corner, we have a hunch he&amp;#039;ll be voted &amp;quot;Most Likely To Succeed!&amp;quot; to boot! Want more Cris? Watch him on his YouTube channel, follow him on Twitter or &amp;quot;like&amp;quot; him on Facebook!
