The journey of Billboard Top 40 Recording Artist Ricky Rebel is a fascinating study in reinvention and resilience, spanning from teen pop sensation to avant-garde icon, encompassing what he describes as a "Journey of Power, Pride, and Performance". Before he became the audacious figure known as Ricky Rebel, he was Ricky G., the lead vocalist of the pop group No Authority. That initial chapter of his career was marked by immense success, including tours with Destiny’s Child and Britney Spears, and signing to Michael Jackson’s MJJ Music custom-label at Sony. No Authority released their self-titled album on Madonna’s Maverick label, and their hit, "Can I Get Your Number," peaked at #33 on the Billboard Top 40 chart.
Following his boyband stardom and a stint as the lead singer of Harlow, Ricky G. embraced a solo career and the new moniker Ricky Rebel after My Chemical Romance invited him to co-star in their videos. This transformation led to new heights, including winning the Artist of the Year award at the RAWards in 2012 and releasing chart-climbing albums like The Blue Album and The New Alpha. Rebel has cemented his status as an entertainment icon not only through music—including a Billboard Top 40 single, "If You Were My Baby (Remixes)"—but also through his boundary-pushing fashion, which led ELLE magazine to name him, alongside David Bowie and Madonna, to its list of Most Outrageous GRAMMYs Outfits in History. His versatility also extends to recent roles as co-host of The Hollywood Rebel Report on NBC/CNBC News Radio and as a fashion contributor to Us Weekly.
Currently, Ricky Rebel is showcasing another face of his artistry: that of a producer and major collaborator. He recently announced a STAR-STUDDED NEW EP with Jeremy Syers, which features hip-hop heavyweights Snoop Dogg, Gucci Mane, and The Game. This collaboration also includes a bonus single featuring Ricky Rebel and Grammy-winner Lil Wayne. Additionally, his 2024 album, Veronica, was considered for two GRAMMY nominations, including Album of the Year. From being signed by the King and Queen of Pop to collaborating with hip-hop royalty, Ricky Rebel continues to define what it means to be a "Royal Revolution"
