R Mean

Good music markets itself. That's how R-mean has sold thousands of copies of his debut album "Broken Water" independently without the help of any labels, promotors, or investors. "I've built a buzz solely off the strength of my music", he says. "I don't have the type of fans that tell me I'm good. I have the type of fans that tell me I'm one of the best they have ever heard. That's how I know I got something special. Cuz they say it, not me." He was raised in Amsterdam but returned to his place of birth Los Angeles when he was 18 years old.
