HONOREBEL


“What is a rebel but a man who is able to say yes to the impossible and no to the ordinary" (Anonymous)

 

It’s apparent that in today’s  Music Industry,  an artisti s put, against his own will, in a box. With all this labeling and defining the musician’s music, it’s often anindustry breakthrough when one finds an artist that’s impossible to categorize. In walks HonoRebel, a name so fitting for someone who enjoys rebelling against the "status quo".

 

Born Richard Bailey in the ghettos of Kingston (Jamaica), Honorebel is the youngest of six children who were raised by a single mother. He remembers his childhood as being a rough uphill struggle, often riddled with street violence and poverty. Amongst all the negative events that surrounded his early life, it was by fate that Honorebel was heavily exposed to music. In HonoRebel’s own words: “I didn’t find music, music found me”.

 

As his career began to progress, HonoRebel, explains that the Honor comes from his humbleness, while the Rebel is his Fighting Warrior Spirit. It was this very same spirit that took his musician status to the next level.

Honorebel launched his Musical Career in the late 90's and soon found himself collaborating with Reggae Legends such as Sly & Robbie, while infusing Hip-Hop Beats with producers like Scott Storch and EDM with Benny Benassi, Afro Jack, Rune RK, Robbie Rivera and Tommy Trash just to name a few. Honorebel has calloborated with artist such as the queen of reggae/dancehall Lady Saw, Gyptian, Shaggy, Pitbull, Sean Kingstone, Akon, Flo Rida and Willy Chirino just to name a few. It was inevitable that Honorebel’s music quickly morphed. He infused various styles to fit his deliverance, ranging from Roots Dancehall to Crunk-Hip-Hop, Techno-Pop to Pop-Rock, to EDM.

 

HonoRebel began to widen his musical catalog and his audience appeal, reaching as far as Russia, where he performed live at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2007 with Russia Pop Star, Julia Kova. His song “Now You See” Feat. Pitbull was release in 2009 and has over 45 million views on YouTube and went #1 in 24 different country worldwide. Honorebel songs are place in many motion picture such as Piranha 3D, American Reunion and television shows such as Californication and HellCats.

 

Unable to label him as just a traditional reggae singer, Honorebel was quickly initiated as a cross-over artist.

Honorebel explains: “I’m not afraid to experiment with different genre of music. Reggae Music is my foundation, but I feel my creativity transcends  beyond that. You can throw me into Hip-Hop, Soca, Latin, Dance, Classical, Techno, EDM: whatever and I’ll deliver. I am forever learningand improving to be the best I can. Education without morals, music without the message of love, true friends without loyalty is like a ship without a compass, sailing aimlessly at sea”.
