Reverie started introducing herself as a HipHop artist slash grapher slash rapper in twentyten via accessible online channels and platforms. She’s based in L.A. and that city seems to play a major part in the ways her biography unfolded, her identity got shaped and her styles evolved. Independent to the core and dedicated with compassion – Reverie’s music is a direct derivative of her personal struggles and the difficulties life puts on your plate if you happen to come from where she was brought up.
Escaping from depressive phases or too many thoughts with the use of green self medication is part of her culture. Though she doesn’t seem to be lost in the clouds or elsewhere, at all. She loves tattoos. And she really loves what she does. Her voice has a very distinct sound, her writing and lyrics are thoughtful, tight, consistent and resonate well with her flows and rhythms. Reverie has talent. She also shows patience and self-respect to craft her styles. And what does she have to say? Well, we’ll listen and get to know her.
Up until today all her music is free, while the majority of it is produced by life-long companion, her brother Louden. Reverie shares the grounds and stages with artists like Gavlyn, Vel The Wonder and DJ Lala, though she deeply considers herself independent, exclusively pursuing her individual tracks.

Reverie has got more than a bunch of her lyrics discussed on Rapgenius:
#Beruf und Familie: Reverie überholt den Mainstream auf dem Nebengleis (das ist wo die Güterzüge rangiert werden. der gehypte male-rest scheint mir im Kopfbahnhof festgefahren).
On The Road erzählt sie uns vor europäischer Kulisse, wie es sich für sie anfühlt, für ihre Karriere als MC Stabilität und das Gefühl von zu Hause aufzugeben. Und warum sie den Druck in Kauf nimmt, den Ansprüchen nie zu genügen.
„SEE, THE PRESSURE FROM PROGRESSION WILL SURELY TEACH YOU SOME LESSONS/
I GOT QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS PROFESSION. SHOULD MY HAPPINESS BE 2ND ?/
& MY CAREER FIRST ? WHAT SHOULD BE THE ORDER ?/
I JUST DON’T KNOW ANYMORE. SHIT’S SO DISTORTED/
I LOVE MY FANS & I LOVE THE CONNECTIONS/
IT’S A BLESSING KNOWING I’M HELPING PEOPLE CUZ THAT WAS NOT MY INTENTION“
Erinnert ihr euch an Eternia, Please Understand If I? Ähnliches Thema. Beide haben gemeinsam, dass zwischen Welt bereisen, Rap-Karriere und einem stabilen zu Hause offenbar ein ‚oder‘ steht…und sie sich trotzdem dafür entscheiden beides haben zu wollen. Ist nicht leicht – Respekt dafür.
