Boy Rekless
Name: Boy Rekless
Sounds Like: Kevin Rudolf, Mac Miller
History: I grew up in LA and always loved music. I started interning at studios to learn the behind the scenes of the business and build relationships that would help propel my career to next level. So I sorta "went to school", you could say. As I was playing in bands and learning how to produce music on my own things starting really taking off. I landed a tour with major acts such as Far East Movement, LMFAO, and DJ Class and producing for other artists on the LA scene. That caught notice of Kara DioGuardi (Sr. VP of Warner Bros Records who also appeared on American Idol and Bravo's Platinum Hit) and she immediate signed me to her publishing company ArtHouse Ent. Since then I have collabed with Jason DeRulo, Demi Lovato, Charice, Cobra Starship, Hot Chelle Rae, Neon Hitch, etc. I was featured on ACUVE 's 1-Day Celebrity Mentor Campaign alongside singing sensation Charice, notable music director Adam Blackstone, and actress Meaghan Martin and aired during the Teen Choice Awards. I also recently headlined Club Tigerheat at Avalon Hollywood where I premiered my video to my new single "Tossed Up" and performed for over 2,500 people and headlined at Shark Club in Orange County to over 1,000's of people.
Something Special: Im obsessed with Rocky. I own the whole box set and can quote almost every line from any of the five movies! Let's just say its on heavy rotation at my studio.

UC Takeaway: What we love about Boy Rekless' story is all the different twists and turns his musical career has taken thus far. From studio intern to band member to producer to songwriter to solo artist, he's done it all. You never know exactly where you'll fit in to the music industry until one day you trip and fall into your sweet spot. The best possible thing to do is just to try it all. The more skills you develop, the more opportunities you'll have and the more chances you'll be given for you, your talent, and your music to be noticed. Especially while you're young, make sure to utilize the time you have before the "real world' hits by taking classes, interning, and generally doing whatever you can to both learn and make a name for yourself in the music industry.
