 | This section needs to be updated. (June 2019) |
Red was born in New Orleans, Louisiana,[1] and was raised in Southern California to a religious baptist family where he was an active Christian at that time. In his early teenage years, he was a member of a short lived male hip hop/R&B group. When he was fourteen years old, due to events of Hurricane Katrina, he moved to Houston, Texas, where he currently resides.[3]
Red negotiated a deal with Las Vegas based music video production team Level Eight Studios to produce a music video for the song "Throw That Boy Pussy". The video was shot in Summer 2013, and was released on March 18, 2014.[4] In an April 2014 interview with BET, Red stated that he "wasn't ready for a record deal", and that he wasn't contracted by a music label.[1]
