Currently starring on Tyler Perry’s “The Haves and the Have Nots” on the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN), Newark, NJ rapper-turned-actor MEDINA has become one of Hollywood’s fresh new faces to look out for. Universally known throughout the hip hop community as “The Six Million Dollar Man,” MEDINA  earned the social media monicker “6Milly” for his years as a ghostwriter and contributions to several of today’s top platinum selling artists.
.               No stranger to struggle and adversity, this self proclaimed “Antwone Fisher” has grappled with some of life’s most dreadful blows. As a child, MEDINA’s most vivid memories were of his schizophrenic mother during visitation hours in mental institutions where she was committed for kidnapping him and attempting to sell his brother. By the time MEDINA was 10, his mother’s  mental illness reached its tipping point, ultimately causing her to abandon him and his siblings and he never saw or heard from her again.
.               Recovering from such heart-wrenching trials takes more than a lifetime for most, but MEDINA’s challenges continued as he downward spiraled into a street life filled with drugs and violence which lead to the murder of his best friend.  Later becoming homeless, sleeping on the streets, and in and out of Job Corps, MEDINA moved to Atlanta, Georgia where he was accepted into Morris Brown College.
.               From Homeless 2 Hollywood, music has been an outlet for MEDINA to tell his story and inspire others to overcome their personal struggles.  Fueled by relentless drive and impeccable work ethic, MEDINA  has amazingly made the quantum leap from Beats & Rhymes to “Lights, Camera, Action!”.  When asked about his triumphant rise to success he simply says, “Sometimes you don’t have to win to WIN!”
