I am NOT A MODEL I am an actress, artist, SONGWRITER and tha REALIST chick you will ever know. At the moment I am focused on building my brand. I have turned down 2 major record deals. I am currently doing it all independently!
I support the underground because that’s what made me!
-Somaya Reece
Been in the music industry since I was playing the violin and the lead in chorus at the age of 8. I am the real life "Little Miss Sunshine" the nerdy gordita, with chubby cheeks, who was a band geek. Look at her now, be nice to nerds you never know :)
I am from El Salvador and a small part de Puerto Rico. Viva los Latinos!
At one point in my life I was walking the wrong path I lived LA VIDA LOCA. Due to that GOD tested me by giving me a personal experience of seeing death dead in the face several times. It was music n my faith that saved my life!
I lived in a freezing garage with my whole family. Born n raised in the HOODS of South Central.
I am truly "The Rose That Grew From Concrete" -Tupac Shakur
I do not consider myself a "rags to riches" story because it was never about the fame. I just wanted to help my poor parents so we didn’t have to live in a cold garage anymore, living on goodwill and hand me downs.
Before I came onto myspace I was actively working in commercials and billboard print ads.
I have been blessed to work with my Platinum hit producers Scoop Deville, The Pharmacy, Qura, artists like Snoop Dogg, Styles Of Beyond, Jay-Z, Black Eyes Peas Taboo, Madonna, Ja Rule, Lil Bow Wow, The Game, Ludacris, actors such as Vivica Fox, The Rock, Eric n Julia Roberts, been on Entourage, Telemundo, E Television etc etc......
I filmed my very first music video independently. Check out the behind the scenes clip below. Video due to release soon!
