Dre Bravo - Wired Badly (Album)
Dre Bravo (Born Andre Guerreiro) is a rapper with a true dedication to the art in it's most pure form. As a Hip-Hop scholar, he lives with the intention of bringing the culture of Hip-Hop back to light while also telling his personal story. Born and raised in the late 90s and early 2000s on a council estate in Brixton - South London, he was forced by his surroundings to mature and quickly learn the ways of life. Through those experiences he found music to be the great escape from reality while also being the teacher to the student. Many entities throughout the music world would influence him in his youth but the majority being Hip-Hop artists like Kool G Rap, Eminem, R.A. The Rugged Man, KRS-One, Gang Starr, Big L and Nas. Inspired by these legendary figures and the messages they shared, he began to write, rap and learn the ways of the culture by the age of 11.
While Dre's artistic focus is mainly on creating Hip-Hop music, he has a great passion for all kinds of music genres and cultural lifestyles, taking influences from Funk, Jazz, Blues, Soul and more.
His most recent release is a powerful, mind boggling, rollercoaster of emotions; a project titled 'Wired Badly'. The self-produced debut album presents itself as a manifestation of Dre Bravo's mental malfunction and emotional sensitivity expressed in a somewhat misfiring soliloquy. Through the fluctuation between hard hitting beats, controversial topics and raw lyrics to the softer instrumentals and sentimental monologues, he showcases a depth and transparency, embracing his vulnerability for everyone to experience that which makes him 'Wired Badly'.
