Artist History Like many black teens growing up in the late 70's and 80's, music was the lifeblood of RASHAD's Columbus, Ohio household."I grew up in a house of music lovers- including hip-hop. That rubbed off on me and my sisters and the things that we listened to. I like to say I had hip parents. We are real spiritual people-- and radical. We are not afraid to speak our minds or do different things."
