Reo Cragun is a rapper whose story to where he is today is one that you just can't make up. Raised in Vancouver, Washington, by two single mothers (his own mother and his aunt), he excelled in academics and earned a scholarship to pursue a degree in Biology in the hopes of becoming a doctor. He had always faced adversity growing up, first with his father being incarcerated up until his high school and then when unforeseen circumstances lead to Reo having to drop out of college.

One thing that has always manages to stay constant in Reo Cragun's life is music. Throughout his life he honed his musicianship that began early in his youth, picking up a new instrument to learn every year since the second grade until he could play violin, trumpet, guitar, piano, and more.
