KIDFORCE
KIDFORCE is the brainchild of Rhett Raha, who started performing in a hard rock band at age 14, began writing and recording by 15 and played his first gig at the same age, where he won a "Battle of the Bands" at B.B. King's at Universal Citywalk. When he was 19 he dropped out of school to pursue music as a career with his band Kid Force; they quickly declined two indie deals before signing a third, which proved disastrous, as the label almost immediately ran into financial problems that tied up the group for a year. They recorded an EP on the sly that garnered a thousand downloads over eight months and began gigging with acts such as Far East Movement, Shwayze, The Knux and Trouble Andrew, who approached them to remix his song "Chase Money," which made it on Fuel TV's Elektro Circus snowboarding commercial in 2010. A chance meeting in Hollywood with Europop band The Black Pony led to a swift collaboration with guitarist Eugene Flitner. The resulting song, "Crush," made the band's album and was a hit on their "Crush Tour 2011." By the summer of 2011 the other members had left Kid Force, so Rhett appropriated the name KIDFORCE for himself. He's currently recording his first official EP under the new moniker with MUSEXPO alum Fingazz.
