Drey Skonie’s Bio	
	
	Singer, writer, producer, and currently studying Audio Production at the Art Institute Of Michigan. I call myself, the young #QuincySkones. I’m  an up & coming r&b/soul artist with a conscious and spiritual mind, from the birthplace of the famous Motown sound, #Detroit Michigan with all the heart necessary. I wear the city’s influence with pride. My natural musical abilities were evident at the early age of 6. I was surrounded by a musical family church environment, my first love was the drum, but I couldn’t resist the ebony and ivory keys, and they couldn’t keep me quiet, so I had to sing. 
	Just in case you didn’t know, I got my start into the music industry on MTV's “Making The Band 4”. Since then I became a member of a Chicago based group called Kwiet Storm. During that time we briefly signed with Usher’s mom, Jonetta Patton on Jpat Records. I was able to receive artist development and vocal training with Aj Alexander as well as Jan Smith. Ever since then I’ve been working hard and making a name for myself. 
	I’ve been grinding as an artist and released a few mix tapes, but in 2014 I released my debut EP. Executive produced by mega producer Prolyfic & myself, with support from my hometown peers like, Shorty Da Prince,  DJ BJ 3525, & Dr. Darius on 107.5, also DJ Mobeatz & Vanloo, of Fm 98 Wjlb, just to name a few. Also receiving a lot love from the beautiful people in Detroit as well as the people I’ve reached from traveling and social media.  I've been earning my respect & notoriety by doing features, shows and staying consistent with any music that has my name attached. That's got me featured in Vibe, Complex, XXL, Hip Hop Weekly, FakeShoreDrive, World Star Hip Hop & other blogs site. Platinum Recording Artist Obie Trice’s stirred up quite a buzz with our record and video to “Spend The Day”. Other features include 106 & Park’s Shorty Da Prince, Finally Famous’ Early Mac, IBGM's Say It Aint Tone, Oba Rowland, Dej Loaf, and other artist like K Deezy, Sino, IceWear Vezzo and many more Detroit Artist that are hot in the city. Outside my hometown, I’ve worked with Scotty Atl, King Mez got me on a J Cole track, and The Boy Illinois, plus many more. The list goes on, but you can find it all on google. I received my first placement with one of my mentors the infamous producer, Soundtrakk. I wrote the hook for Stally’s song on Maybach Music’s Selfmade 3 - Paris (Feat Omarion & Rockie Fresh), and more to come.
	Being a student has opened my mind to more musical possibilities, like scoring movies sound design, and being a producer. So I feel my longevity in the business combined with influences, & my music background. All I have to do is keep going and I will reach a wide range of audiences, supporters and most def the ladies. I hope my music crosses over to music lovers of all genres including yourself.
	My Ep “One Night Stand” is available on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon and more. You can also listen on https://soundcloud.com/drey-skonie along with more music.

Julius De'Von Evans says, “being born in the hood doesn’t mean you have to be of it.” Julius De’Von Evans was born May 2, 1992 in Chicago, IL; the second of seven children born to a teenage mother. Julius spent some of his childhood living amongst high-level poverty, gang violence, and drugs in the Cabrini Green Housing Projects on Chicago’s Near North side before his mother moved the family to Detroit, MI. Despite the negative activity outside, Julius’ mother worked hard to create a different atmosphere inside. 


Julius was never attracted to the “going-ons” in the streets – but hip hop made him feel connected. Influenced by Ice Cube, Jay Z, Lil Wayne and more Julius used his music to reflect his life experiences, thoughts, revelations and insights. 

After releasing mixtapes staring in 2010 and 2 albums some years later Julius wanted to prove that he had something to say. “Music is a universal language and I believe it can change the world faster and more efficient than any politician or religious guru”.

"I recognize everything ain't real in reality
Put on my stilts trying to reach my fantasy
So fly even doe I'm hated on by gravity
These type of things make a man lose his sanity."
Die Daily 
The death of a negative mentality and the rebirth of something positive is what makes humanity  become stronger.  That is the formula Recipe AIM used to transition himself into a more conscious artist. 

After the loss of his older brother, twelve year old AIM began channeling his pain by doing the thing his big bro loved, rapping.  Over time, the hot temper teen developed into a clever freestylist and champion battle rapper.

Influenced by the styles of Beanie Segal, DMX, Joe Budden, AIM began to grow into his style as a lyricist.  The Detroit native linked with producers NO SPEAKERZ and trained his sound. AIM has paired great with other amazing artist including iRock, P8tience, Gwenation, Black Lagoon, Drey Sconie, Scolla, and Obie Trice.  The unity of the talented artist can be a great example to other artists in Detroit, which is  notorious for being one of the most negative cities to be a musical artist in.

The days of MOTOWN may be over, but AIM is determined as an artist to "Kill The Hate".  AIM's lyrics have been brought to public vision through his flourishing clothing line. The "Kill The Hate" campaign has emerged from the music, and the execution of hate and negative imagery that surrounds the urban hiphop community is being buried. Recipe AIM is bringing a new life with his message.

Hailing from the vibrant streets of Westside Detroit, Jerald Rydell Johns Jr., known by his stage name Jay Beretta, is a lyricist whose roots run deep in the fabric of hip hop culture. At 32 years old, JB — as he's affectionately dubbed by close friends and affiliates — has cultivated a unique sound and perspective that pays homage to the influences surrounding him from a young age.
Born and raised on the iconic Seven Mile Road, Beretta’s upbringing was steeped in music. With his father, Jerald Rydell Sr., and mother, Glenda Marie Wardlaw Johns, instilling a sense of perseverance and creativity, he burst onto the scene at just 12 years old, fueled by an unrelenting passion for rap. It was a calling he answered with fervor, channeling his experiences and the dynamic environment of Detroit into his artistry.
A remarkable facet of Jay’s lineage comes from his God Sister, the late great Aaliyah, who not only introduced him to the world of stardom but also set a high bar for excellence. Growing up in her shadow, Beretta absorbed lessons from the early R&B and hip-hop legends that defined the ‘90s and early 2000s, shaping his artistry beyond the realm of mere musicianship. His influences stretch across various domains – from fashion to film, and activism to everyday life, creating a distinct blend that informs his lyrical narratives and visual aesthetics.
In a music industry often focused solely on sound, Jay Beretta stands out by offering a rich tapestry of storytelling sourced from his everyday experiences, challenges, and victories. His rise within the industry is not just a personal journey; it represents a broader narrative about the resilience and creativity of Detroit’s artists.
With tracks that resonate from the block to the stage, Jay Beretta is more than a rapper; he’s a voice for a generation eager for authentic expression and representation. As he continues to carve out his legacy, Beretta remains committed to inspiring others — proving that one can rise to greatness while remaining grounded in their roots. The Westside of Detroit is rich with talent, and Jay Beretta is poised to become one of its shining stars. Keep an ear out and listen closely; his story is just beginning.

the only thing that really matters is that you tell the world what you heard here today.
