True Renzzo—Hiphop Artist True Renzzo, “A Superstar Rising”
What’s your name, artist name and where are you from? Demetrius Larenz Bradford, but I’m officially known as “True Renzzo”. I’m from the Midwest, and I was born in a small town called Vincennes in the state of Indiana. My father was in and out of prison in my early life so I was raised up by my single mother along with my three brothers until about the age of six-teen. In my late teenage years my love for music was born. That’s when I started going to the local party’s around town with my older cousin and performed a lot of freestyle rap. The feedback I got locally pushed me to take my career to the next level.
