As an obvious extension of his already thriving solo music career, Ravell has recently been able to launch his record label Kazaa. He says this has been a dream of his for a long time, as a person who loves to show his friends love and be a support system for their music-making endeavors. During Covid, he finally brought this dream to life by launching his label with a Ravell-original single called ‘Siento.’
"Music, to me, is important because it reminds me of home. So that's kind of how I got the name Kazaa; it was a spin-off of the word home, Casa… Growing up, I made music with my dad; we used to DJ gig to gig to start, as [a] father and son thing."
He’s looking forward to catching many performances at Miami Music Week in what feels like a massive hangout as the world begins to recover from Covid. And he recalls a performance of his own, from a gig for 5,000 attendees in his early career, when he accidentally pressed the pause button mid-song. He refers to it as the “worst professional decision he’s ever made” despite it being perfectly timed in the song and going nearly unnoticed.
