At the tender age of 16, Ricky Rebel caught the eye of the King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson, who signed him. His journey began by fronting the boy band No Authority, setting him on a path that was always destined to be bold. From those early days to his time as a Grammy-nominated artist with the duo Veronica, Ricky has consistently carved out a space rooted in unfiltered self-expression, pure creativity, and a commitment to fun.

He reveals how he stays “on vibe”—through his music, his community, and by truly embracing the Taoist principle of letting life flow. It’s about letting go of the need for control and allowing creativity to guide your path.
