From a rough start growing up, RudeBoy comes on the scene offering a new sound in the world of rap. He is definitely on the cusp of blowing up with his music. If you have not heard the name yet, it is sure to become known by all before much more time has passed.

Google his name right now and what you will come up with first is likely many references to the Rhianna song of that name. But this will not be the case for much longer. This Bahamas born young rapper will soon be taking over the search engines for himself.

Born Andrew Knowles, the rapper moved from the Bahamas to Florida when he was just three years old. His father went to prison when Knowles was only six, at which time he lived with both his mother and her mother-in-law. At this early age, he did not get much time with his single parent as she worked two jobs to support her family.

Knowles began his passion for entertainment while he was still in school, participating in talent shows and plays. As early as fourteen, he began to rap and write music. Two years later, he was ready to start trying for a career in music.

At this time, he was helped by Platinum Recording Studios’ head of A&R. Through the help of Mike Green, he got access to a variety of studios where he could work on his style. At the age of 18, though, he decided to put his career on hold, working two jobs instead.

Just two short years later, Knowles was to meet Smif-N-Gunz, producers based in Palm Beach County. Together, the team is destined to create a household name for RudeBoy. His vocal talent, catchy music and fresh approach are sure to garner attention. There is no doubt that people will be dancing to his tunes in the days to come.
