Rel believes in letting the music speaks for itself. “It’s hard because everyone is an artist these days,” he admits, “So imagine if you had 50,000 people sending you emails or messages a day and going through it all to decipher who’s good and who’s not.” In an era where almost any one and every one is experimenting with music, Rel finds it difficult to wade through pools of new talent on a daily basis. Today, he is proudly responsible for scouting and developing artists that are lucky enough to land in the hands of Roc Nation.īeing the life changer does not always come easy. “When I graduated though and actually sat back and thought about what I was passionate about, it wasn’t hotel management,” Rel explains. He sparked an interest in meeting different people from different cultures and backgrounds. Rel studied Business Administration and Managment with plans of going into hotel management. However, music was not something he saw himself pursuing in college. He credits the album “Reasonable Doubt” and other artists he grew up listening to like Big Daddy Kane for helping him fall in love with the art form.
