ReaLife is an independent hip hop artist, born in Seattle and raised in Tacoma, who grew up around music. His father was a former DJ before joining the Army and his mother was an aspiring singer, so with music being apart of his family history, it was only natural that he pick up a mic himself. ReaLife became serious about his craft when he was about 24 years old, and has traveled all over the U.S. as well as other countries. “The experiences, the people, the sights, the sounds whether good or bad, has made me a better, more authentic artist. What I talk about in my music is real life, no movie". ReaLife has been described as one of the “hardest working hip hop artists to emerge from the Northwest”. From the beginning of his career as a “hype man” for another artist; he has become one of the premier acts within the hip hop scene. ReaLife has organically gained the attention of fans and media from as close as his hometown of Tacoma, WA to internationally from Africa to Germany. this includes several articles in local publications (Emeralds Magazine, The Weekly Volcano, The Wilson Block Magazine, SwaggNation Magazine, The Hype Magazine, One World Magazine). As well as being featured on internet & FM radio stations ReaLife was also nominated best male Hip Hop artist at the 2017 Seattle Sound Music Awards.
