Tampa, FL, USA

Kip “Kidd” Russell used to freestyle on rooftops with professional wrestler Colt Cabana (WWE, ROH, AEW) while in high school. Colt encouraged Kidd to pursue his music career and even booked his first show at a wrestling/rap concert in Cleveland, Ohio. Kidd turned his college radio production class into music business 101. Instead of completing assignments, he used his studio time to record songs that spread around his APU campus. After leaving college and returning to Chicago he built a reputation as one of the hardest working artists in the region. Self-releasing, promoting, and managing his career Kidd has had his music videos played on MTV2, MTV Jams, placed over 50 songs on TV including the TV theme song to Ring of Honor Wrestling "Rush RockRemix." That same music video caught the attention of Sonja Norwood mother/manager of Brandy & Ray J. Her guidance led Kidd to work with Cisco Adler.
