Russ live in the UAE

RUSS, the DIY pioneer himself, will perform live in UAE on April 29 - the eclectic Atlanta phenomenons' rapid ascent was anything but accidental. Russ made all the beats. He wrote all the raps and the hooks. He engineered and mixed and sang the songs, played the guitar, programmed the drums, and delved deep into his soul to figure out who he is and what he wants out of life. Then he wrote manifestos like “Do It Myself” and "What They Want" to outline the road map for others to follow. This live show will mark Russ' first performance in the UAE.
