Early Life 

Russell Vitale was born on the 26th of September, 1992, in Secaucus, New Jersey. Vitale was born with an eye condition called heterochromia, which meant that his eyes had different colors. 

The family eventually got settled in a permanent home in Atlanta, Georgia after moving through places such as Kentucky, North Carolina, and New York. Russ was 12 years old then and he got heavily influenced by Georgia’s culture, which was inspired by the country music. 

Career

Around 2011, at the age of 19, Russ became highly determined to make music and formed the rap group named Diemon. Some of his friends belonging to the group were Bugus, Dartlin, Paulo, DJ Adam Golden, Musa, and John Anthony. The name of the group stood for Do It Everyday Music or Nothing. 

Now the local hip hop music scene was filled with new artists emerging every day with their trap induced beats but Russ decided to take a different way through his music.

As he created his SoundCloud account in late 2014, he immediately earned 5000 followers owing to the fact that he had released 11 mix-tapes already.

The single ‘What They Want’, released in 2015 became the most successful of his singles till date and was certified platinum by Music Canada and Recording Industry Association of America. 

Even after the release of his debut album, Russ refused to slow down and picked up a relentless pace with making music. However, his speed was not as fast as it was in 2014 when he was churning out a new single almost every other week. 

As of 2021, Russ’ net worth is $10 million.

Favorite Quotes from Russ

“I’m not obsessed with the idea of doing what you’re supposed to be doing when you’re a rapper. Walking around with cash that you haven’t even provisioned for tax. Spending all of your time in the designer store to create some weird impression. I’m not interested, bro. I just like making music, and that’s it.” – Russ 

“I started playing instruments before I started making beats, and I was never the best guitarist or the best pianist or the best drummer. And when I started making beats, I was not the best beatmaker, and when I started making hooks, I was not the best vocal melody person. When I first started rapping, I wasn’t the best rapper at all.” – Russ 

“When I was coming up, I was, and am, producing, mixing, mastering, and writing everything. I would say that all the time. For one, self-sufficiency is a message that should be put out there: you don’t have to outsource everything. Two, I’m proud of it.” – Russ 

“I think people sometimes get my message misconstrued and believe I’m trying to brag, but I’m genuinely trying to show people that you can do it all yourself, and there are so much power and freedom in that.” – Russ 

“I feel like I love a little bit of everything. I grew up listening to the stuff my parents liked, from Earth, Wind & Fire, Luther Vandross, Billy Joel to Bruce Springsteen and The Mommas & The Poppas.” – Russ
