Today we’d like to introduce you to Redris Bell.
Redris, please kick things off for us by telling us about yourself and your journey so far.
I am Redris, a multi-talented artist of all platforms. What makes me unique is that I’m one of those rare artists who writes, sings, produces and records my own music. A lot of times, I dream of a song wake up and produce it! I like to write about love and life and want to sing about the things most people are too embarrassed to sing about! Things like getting caught up on the side of someone’s relationship. Bouts of depression and how I overcame the fear of myself! I think a lot of artists get caught up in what they think people want to hear instead of being authentic and telling their truth. I come from an era where being out sexually was frowned on and where LGBTQ artists were pushed into a closet!
Aside from my Musical talent, I also am very good at drawing and painting. Doing art is very therapeutic for me and has always been my way of expressing myself. Often when I am stressed or down, I do some platform of art. I think this is how I really connect with my audience.
Can you give our readers some background on your art?
I make music and art and I hope to inspire people to live life! My music comes from the heart and truly tells a story of someone who has overcome hurt. I don’t sing anything I don’t believe in and I pride myself on being different! I think everyone has something different to offer and no one should be afraid to be themselves!
How do you think about success, as an artist, and what do quality do you feel is most helpful?
As an artist, I feel it is important to connect with listeners. If my music helps anyone get through the day, I have done what I’ve set out to do. If I have become of voice for someone that really relates to what I have been through, I am satisfied. I love when I hear from listeners and they say wow I would have never thought you go through the same things I went through and showed strength through the struggle. Also If I can get you off your feet and on the dance floor that’s great too!
What’s the best way for someone to check out your work and provide support?
