Bre-Z’s Music Career
When she was a kid, her siblings exposed her to the hip hop group Wu-Tang Clan, which sparked her interest in music. Bre-Z has no desire to follow in the footsteps of Nicki Minaj or Iggy Azalea in the music industry. For her, being a positive role model is a goal she strives to achieve.

Bre-Z has always had a passion for music, and her family of barbers helped her make connections with Akon and Ludacris. This barbershop connection allowed her to become their go-to hairdresser. It was a huge step forwards for the aspiring rapper.
Dr. Dre, Jennifer Lopez, and The Game are just a few of the famous artists the the now famous rapper has written songs for. Her career was catapulted forwards because of these collaborations.
