Looks like LaSuria Kandi Allman is keeping us pumped with the music. Let's join her and Richard A. Taylor as the interview R&B and Hip Hop artist Rezz Vokalz. Seems as if he has a message for Trey Songz.Before he was known to the world as Rezz Vokalz, Terrez was born in North Carolina and raised in New Jersey. At a young age Terrez knew music would always be in his life, but he did not have any idea the major factor it would end up playing.
Early in his adult years, Terrez returned to North Carolina, living in Navassa, where he honed his singing abilities in the church. As time passed and he trained himself vocally, Rezz Vokalz was born and he began recording music. While Rezz Vokalz always calls North Carolina his home, he realized he would have to move elsewhere in order for his career to take off.In 2009, Rezz Vokalz made the move to Miami, Florida, where he watched his career take form. Inspired by such strong vocalist like Anita Baker, Marvin Gaye, and Luther Vandross, singing becameRezz Vokalz’ passion and he was able to deliver this, while recording in Miami. Rezz Vokalz calls his singing abilities a gift from God and he is thankful, but his singing is only one part of his arsenal. When it comes to rapping, Rezz Vokalz is no slouch, probably able to out-rap a number of street-level rappers who say they are the best.
Over the past few years, Rezz Vokalz has made a name for himself, recording in many renowned recording studios on the East Coast. His rising star has caught the attention of several major labels, including Rick Ross’ Maybach Music Group. The label attention is only a portion of what Rezz Vokalz wants. Inspired by his family, friends, and children, Rezz Vokalz is preparing to take the game over and has a solid team behind him. While he is not a superstar yet, Rezz Vokalz feels it is not too high of a jump, as he feels he has the look of a superstar and the drive has been there from the beginning.
