Alex aka THE REF (Insomnia Music)

INSOMNIA MUSIC is taking over!!!!!

About Me

I grew up in Oak Park, MI and later went on to graduate from Central Michigan University in 1999. I gained the nickname "The REF" back in College because "I call it like I see it." I guess I can be very blunt in what I say.I recently joined forces with a my man Cream of Beats to form a Detroit based Record Label called "INSOMNIA MUSIC". Not your typical label since we cater to "PRODUCERS". We are bringing something new to the game so stay tuned..................INSOMNIA MUSICUpcoming Shows:* November 10th (Friday Night)...........Insomnia Music Presents "OpenMind" at The O Zen Lounge (Formerly The Buddha Lounge)....9pm to 2am.
