Dear YOU,

A little bit about me …….

I know it’s easy to judge and crucify people without getting to know their story. It’s easy for people to judge me based on outer
appearance. It’s easy to throw stones when living in glass houses. So. I guess before you judge me, I want you to walk in my shoes for  just a little. At least until the end of this letter. I have been pursuing the music business for a long time, playing the violin since I was 8/9 (still play). I have been an independent artist funding everything myself with 3 jobs, no sleep, no fancy stuff nothing but a hope and a dream. I grew up in a garage to immigrant parents and was raised as a maid cleaning houses since I was 5 with my mother. I have had many doors slammed in my face over and over. Yet. I never stopped believing in my dreams. I have the heart of a lion and am very ambitious. I refuse to sleep around to get ahead. I work hard for mine. I believe in “A closed mouth never gets fed” I am never afraid of reaching out. However, I do not ever ask for a handout. I worked very hard, went through years of financial and emotional struggle to get to where I am today. I love music and am glad I found something that literally saved my life.

I grew up in a violent and alcoholic & psychically abusive household. This played a big part of me walking down the wrong road in gangs and adding to my first violent relationship that built my constant efforts in charity supporting abused/battered women & children’s shelters. When I was 14, I met a man who prayed on my innocence. I broke with him he was my first boyfriend. He  decided he wasn’t going to let me go that easy so he ambushed me and beat me to where I have lost 75% feeling on the right side of my face, many of my teeth, and fractured my skull due to blunt trauma to my temple. The scar that runs from one side of my head to the back is a daily reminder of this. Until this day, I cannot feel the right side of my face and still have therapy to repair my damaged nerves. All because I broke up with him, because I was tired of him, I was tired of mine and his gang lifestyle. I wanted to leave that behind and  make music. He said he’d rather see me dead than for me to become an artist and he’d take me out if he had to. He said I was not worthy and a useless human being. Anyways. I’m not here for a pitty party. I AM A FIGHTER! I share my story in order to help other women/men who suffer abuse in a relationship. My advice to you is to break free! I did. The good guys is where it’s at. These bad guys will only lead you to 2 things, death or abuse.

Inspiring and motivating people across the globe who share the same story of struggle is my only goal int his game. I am just like you trying to make my dreams a reality. I never gave up, I did it (do it) all on my own. NO MANAGERS or AGENTS helped me, I DID IT. And now that my career is blowing up did I change? NO!! I am STILL THE SAME girl you always knew!! I have nothing to prove or to be “cool” about. I fall, I make mistakes, but I learn from them and never make the same mistake twice. I DO NOT like to be called a “rags to riches” or “new fame n fortune” story because it was never about the fame, you can keep that. I am just thankful to help my poor parents get out of the garage we lived in growing up in South Central. And truth be told. All I want to do is use my story to inspire the world. I enjoy working, have had many jobs in order to support my career and am not embarrassed to share that with you. It is life. I am YOU! We are all the same. God is now blessing us. However. I still work very hard for my family. So they can have all the things they were unable to have. They deserve it.

I’m earning my stripes by paying my dues….

I dedicate my life to charities involving things I have been through in life, domestic violence, cancer, public speaking, women & children’s shelters for the abused, and I work with the school districts where I make public speeches about changing your life around for the better. Everyday is a day to make a change. It is never too late to change. Fans can call me for encouraging words free of charge 1(213)785-7668

I have never fronted about how much I’ve struggled to get to where I am or how I didn’t have money coming up. I’m not embarrassed to share my hard times because we all go through hard times. Except most artist’s front and pretend that everything is “easy” when it’s not! Truth is. It was much harder for me to “break” because I wouldn’t sleep around for career advancement and I had poor management. I have been put in many situations before I was prepared. See me, I didn’t do it like a lot of these industry chicks did. I did it all without doing any “extra” favors to get ahead. You gotta respect that! And if you don’t, you don’t know real from fantasy.

The darkest times in my life is when I messed up in a major way in the hood livin “la vida loca” the “thug life” almost killed me many times. I almost bled to death way too many times, went through a lot of painful circumstances in gangs, that it finally wised me up to change for the better of my family and to inspire you! Hope this helps break down a little about me and who I am. I been through a lot of bullshit and because of that I  am not a judgmental person. I only ask to be open and get to know me before judging. Hopefully after reading this, any negative pre judgements you held against me are those of the past

Stay strong. Never give up….

Thank you,
Somaya Reece
