River Bandit

American Rapper/Public Figure

A passion for Southern and West Coast HipHop- gave this Midwest artist the inspiration to voice his reality. Bandit’s first moments in this world weren’t by any means normal, umbilical cord around his neck accompanied by severe jaundice levels. His mother gave up on being a parent before exhausting all options- River lived with his father for only a couple of years before they landed in a homeless shelter. River Bandit, born Stone River-David Anderson, was openly adopted by two women who worked at that same shelter. Bandit vaguely remembers being in the harsh environment his father surrounded him with on the weekends. Around the age of five, one of Bandit’s first photographic memories of the last time he was allowed to be around his father, until young adulthood, was created. Through art and sports he never realized how much music had an impact on him until others around him pointed this factor out. Now you all get to witness his journey and growth not only as an artist but as a human being. In hopes of connecting with individuals who struggle often so they won’t have to feel alone, make the same mistakes, or find belief inside that life is what we want it to be.
