Jessie Russell, better known as RJ Riddle, is a songwriter, poet, spoken word and music artist! Riddle was born June 9th, 1994, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Whether working with city youth or performing music, RJ Riddle has a unique and authentic way of uplifting and empowering the people he interacts with. Riddle began creating a buzz for himself just barely being 21 performing at spoken word events and open mics throughout Milwaukee. With his combination of spoken word, rap, and the occasional jazz/ funk sound, Riddle has a way of fusing different genres in his arsenal to make his words come to live by painting vivid pictures and staying genuine in his words!  

RJ is also apart of the music collective Rooted Society, a collective of individuals that create music that is relatable and heading to the culture. RJ Riddle’s project releases include Life of a Wandering Child, Reconstruction, which is a series of EPs, and The Now or Never Ep!
