Pennsylvania artist Black Dre, is an American rapper, song writer, producer, and performance artist. At the age of 13 years old, Black found his passion for music, offically recording music in 2016. 
 "Honestly, 2Pac is who made me start doing music. At a young age I recognized the emotion and truth that he convyed into his songs. Music is more than words to me. I want to create a platform where I can reach others such as myself, give back to the community and be able to voice my opinion on life in this climate as well as social issues." Black Dre has since gone to partner with Vans, 12th and Market, and Chandon, and has been apart of Benny The Butcher's "The Burden of Plugs" Tour as well as Grip's "Me vs Me" tour.
