3xBravo on Finding Therapy in Music & Climbing To The Top Of The Game
Atlanta native, 3xBravo knows a lot about pushing past the pain to get to where you want to go. Like so many others that have been able to overcome adversity and see brighter days, music has been his refuge. Today, he stops by to tell more of his story, which has been full of ups and downs.
Having gone through a lot in the course of his 19 years, including the loss of his girlfriend and some friends, 3xBravo’s music became his therapy. Since then, he has gone on to release several singles that have earned over 5 Million collective streams, most notably “Heart Gone”, his debut single that went viral on TikTok and YouTube.
Facing a life altering dilemma, 3xBravo’s career began after his mother made the ultimatum, “make something of yourself or go to the military”. Knowing that didn’t sit right with his soul, he made the decision to go all in with his music, starting off by using the studio setup his mom bought for 3xBravo’s older brother. It was at this moment that he decided it was “Rap or nothing”
Ever since taking that leap, the stars have aligned for the budding rapper. After a chance meeting with popular YouTuber BJ Groovy, the two became good friends with Groovy taking a liking to his sound and offering to help push “Heart Gone”. This quickly led to things taking off, as 3X Bravo organically gained a significant amount of followers, while “Heart Gone” racked up several thousand TikTok performances upon its release, letting 3xBravo know he made the right decisions to follow his dreams.
