After seeing the local high school bands around the city and a New Orleans traditional style of music known as “The Second Line”, Reigns would develop his own drive and passion for music. Not long after returning to Houston, Ransom joined his high school marching band. After graduation he would serve 4 years in the U.S. Navy, then make the decision to pursue a career in the industry he grew up loving.While Ransom Reigns' background and resume is one you probably wouldn’t associate with your typical "rap artist", he fashions himself as a "producer/songwriter".
