About Me

Realm is a Miami, Florida native of over 20 years with a complex ancestry. Half Cuban Half Conch (Bahamian natives who migrated to and settled the Florida Keys, A.K.A The Conch Republic) but always confused for an average white male, grew up in many different areas of the beautiful city of Miami. He was a troubled child facing many difficulties as a result of his tumultuous childhood. His parents divorced when he was 9 years old, after being told the news by his parents he went out back to a shed where he found his mother panicking and his father with a gun to his head. This is one of his first memories of many disturbing moments which shaped his personality. Throughout his upbringing he moved to over 7 different locations and went to 8 different schools all over Miami, eventually dropping out in 9th grade at 16 years of age. At 11 years old he started experimenting with drugs which led to an eventual overdose and attempted suicide at 15. Thankfully he survived and learned his lesson. Life is precious and a gift not to be squandered. Although continuing his battle with addictions throughout his childhood finally he has a firm grasp on what is important in his life: Music. Music was there for him when his parents were absent and friends were not around. At the age of 20 on October 17, 2006 he dealt with an event that was nothing short of life changing. His father was going to prison and instead of dealing with the consequences he took his own life. This has changed him forever. These are but a few excerpts from his troubled past. Regardless of his hardships he has stuck with what he knows and does best. If you're looking for an artist who stays true to himself you've found him.
He started writing at the age of 15 and never stopped. He was never attracted to freestyling beside the occasional battle and being drunk at parties but, took his writing very serious. He has made numerous tracks but is extremely picky as to which one he releases to the public, wanting to ensure what is heard is quality and not just quantity. Realm is a man of conviction who is set on getting his message out. You may have heard songs from him in the past. He's changed. The old Realm is gone. The new Realm is here to stay. If you hate him or love him is beside the point. He is here and he's looking for his recognition. Any men who oppose unrelenting forces of nature will be destroyed in its incessant path. Welcome to the new Realm.
