Telling a Tale with Rey Riches

Written by Alexandria Anglade

Proudly born and raised in South Central Los Angeles, CA, upcoming artist Rey Riches is here with us today to describe his upbringing.

What was your childhood upbringing like?

"My childhood upbringing was fairly rough. Especially transitioning from a youth to a teen. I was bullied and living in poverty but received an immeasurably amount of love from my mother and siblings."

For many, stress can form in various ways.

Whether it's due to your emotional well-being or lack of financial stability, we all have stressors one way or another.

However, having healthy coping mechanisms can prevent your body from ultimately shutting down.

Remember, your health always should come first!

As an artist, how do you deal with stress?

"As an artist, I deal with stress by keeping myself as busy as possible. My brain is always racing a billion miles per hour thinking about what I could be doing in that moment or if I feel as if I’m not doing enough."

How do you define success?

"Success to me is feeling completely content with where you are in your life or aspiring to reach those goals whilst putting the work in to get to that point."
