Billboard Top 40 recording artist Ricky Rebel is one of pop’s true shape-shifters—a singer, songwriter, dancer, and fashion provocateur whose career started under the wing of legends and evolved into a fearless solo vision. A California native, Ricky first broke onto the scene as the lead vocalist of the boy band No Authority, signed by Michael Jackson to his Sony imprint MJJ Music before joining Madonna’s Maverick Records. With No Authority he toured internationally, appeared on soundtracks including Rugrats in Paris, and opened for artists like Britney Spears, Destiny’s Child, and 98 Degrees. (Wikipedia)

Reinventing himself as Ricky Rebel, he won RAWards Musician of the Year and launched his solo era with the album Manipulator, followed by the fan-favorite Blue Album and the high- voltage project The New Alpha. His single “Boys & Sometimes Girls” spent nine weeks on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart, peaking at #28, while “The New Alpha” also broke into the Top 40, establishing him as a fixture on the dance and club scene.

A Grammy voting member of the Recording Academy, Ricky has appeared on the GRAMMY Awards red carpet, Fox & Friends, and major fashion runways, earning recognition from outlets like ELLE for his boundary-pushing style.

In 2025, Ricky was inducted into the American Entertainment Hall of Fame and honored with Best Performance at the IFSM Fashion Awards—milestones that celebrate three decades of stagecraft, from boy-band heartthrob to glam-rock frontman. Today he co-headlines Diamond Rebel Rene: The Residency in Las Vegas, bringing his signature mix of live vocals, choreography, couture looks, and audience interaction to one of the world’s most demanding entertainment capitals.

Electrifying, theatrical, and unapologetically himself, Ricky Rebel continues to tour internationally, headline festivals, and collaborate with an ever-growing list of artists, proving that rebellion—done with heart and high heels—never goes out of style. (Heart Of Hollywood Magazine)
