Having been heavily exposed to music and the arts since early childhood, I am so grateful for my late mother who initiated my formal musical training in elementary school with piano lessons, but drums and percussion became a greater calling. My private instructor trained me as a Jazz drummer. The school band teacher required me to study Jazz, Symphonic and Pop music. The early 80's for me were filled with the sounds of Art Blakey, Coltrane, Mingus, Run DMC, Man Parrish, Fela Akuti, Stevie Wonder, Dennis Brown, Gregory Isaacs, Terry T. and B.B.

Rhea Reeves was born in Louisville, KY in 1978. She received her BFA from the Columbus College of Art and Design in late 2000. Originally a stone and wood carver, Rhea made a big shift in artist materials when suffered head and spinal injuries in a car accident in early 2000. She had to explore lighter materials. Rhea was inspired by Magdelena Abakanowics Abakan works. She started working in installation art using paper,wax, plaster, cotton fiber, metal, and thread. Her works have evolved to sculptural paintings and assemblage pieces.
I was born and raised in Washington, DC. From drawing the green ranger for my kindergarten self-portrait to getting in trouble for coloring characters on the back of my homework. I’ve always had a passion for illustrating characters and storytelling. As a child my uncle would joke and say “you’re going to grow up to be a cartoon”, and honestly I couldn’t agree more. I attended the visual and performing arts program at Suitland Highschool, majoring in Fine Arts. Shortly after graduating, I dove right into my college career at the Art Institute of Washington.
I am a 35 year young rap artist from Pittsburgh,PA.
I love making music. Music is my passion.
