Artist | Producer | Storyteller | Visionary
CDUPR3, born Caleb Du’Pre Hansford, is an American artist, producer, and storyteller whose immersive soundscapes blend emotional depth with cinematic precision. Raised in a gospel-rooted home in New Jersey, he was introduced to music at age five and began drumming publicly by seven—laying the foundation for a career defined by authenticity and soul.
A formative friendship with Joe Jonas during middle school helped ignite his early passion for music. Under the mentorship of industry veterans like Louis Pellegrini (Xzibit, Curt Chambers), CDUPR3 developed a genre-blending sound that draws from hip-hop, pop, EDM, and R&B to create emotionally resonant sonic experiences.
In 2024, he released “FAYM”, a haunting and minimalist single exploring themes of self-worth and detachment, resonating with fans of artists like Billie Eilish. He followed with “PR21”, a cinematic single and music video inspired by a man’s battle with cancer and the rediscovery of a lost love letter—offering a powerful reflection on grief, memory, and healing.
As co-founder and lead producer of MoodKraft Productions, CDUPR3 collaborates with Punchboi (cousin of SZA), who leads mixing, mastering, and engineering. Together, they’ve worked with a diverse roster including SZA, Justin Bieber, Compton Menace, Fetty Wap, Jadakiss, Disney, Angelica Ross, Splice, and DeStorm Power (Grammy nominee and founder of Zeus Network).
In 2023, CDUPR3 was nominated by his peers for Recording Academy membership, a recognition of his rising influence and contribution to the music industry.
With every project, CDUPR3 delivers more than sound—he crafts story-driven music that resonates deeply, leaving listeners changed, inspired, and seen.
