DRELL

Official Artist Bio

Prentice ManDrell Aiken Sr., known professionally as Drell, was born on November 26, 1973, in Antreville, South Carolina, to Raymond and Belvion Aiken. His extraordinary musical gifts were evident almost from birth. By the age of three, it was clear he possessed a rare, natural talent that would define the course of his life.

Drell’s first moment of public recognition came one Easter Sunday morning when his older brother suddenly fell ill. Called upon to step in, young Drell astonished his father, the congregation, and everyone in attendance. It was undeniable—this child carried a God‑given anointing and a musical ability far beyond his years.

By six, he was playing drums without a single formal lesson. At ten, under the guidance of his older brother Rico Aiken, he began learning bass guitar—a pivotal moment that helped shape his musical identity. With Rico’s mentorship and his own relentless drive, Drell quickly grew into a versatile and dynamic musician. His sound, style, and creative instincts expanded rapidly as he immersed himself in every corner of the musical world.

As a young boy, he traveled and performed with his family across numerous cities and states, singing and playing for audiences ranging from small local assemblies to major venues and arenas. Over the years, he performed with a wide variety of artists and groups, while also forming several groups of his own with his brother, including Reek and Drell, The Anointed Ones, Soul Purpose, and RIP. These collaborations allowed him to stretch beyond Southern soul and quartet traditions into a broad spectrum of genres and styles.

As his journey evolved, Drell felt a deeper creative pull—an inner sound waiting to be released. This calling led him into the world of music production, songwriting, composition, and engineering. Ultimately, he became the CEO, Founder, and Executive Producer of Hiya Call’N Productionz, where his artistry, collaborative spirit, and innovative approach revealed yet another dimension of his talent.

To date, Drell has released more than seven albums, along with numerous singles available across all major streaming platforms and social media outlets. Whether performing for a handful of people or a packed arena, he brings the same passion, excellence, professionalism, and heart to every stage. His dedication to his craft and his integrity as an artist have earned him deep respect across both local and professional music communities.

Beyond his musical accomplishments, Drell is a devoted husband, a proud father, and a loving grandfather.

With decades of experience, a powerful legacy, and an unwavering commitment to his calling, Drell continues to rise. Keep your eyes and ears open—there is much more to come from this remarkable artist.

Frida Calico – The Calico Pistol Official Artist Bio

Frida Calico, born Elizabeth Martin (Heatherly) Garcia, earned her reputation as a hot pistol long before the world knew her name. Outspoken, sharp‑witted, and unafraid to shoot from the hip, she forged her identity through fire — mind, body, and soul.

Raised Mexican in the predominantly white mountains of Tennessee, young Frida faced racism, misunderstanding, and misdiagnosis before she even knew how to name those wounds. But even in the midst of confusion and displacement, her spark refused to dim. Entertainment found her early. She became the life of every room she entered, singing and dancing with a joy that couldn’t be taught.

Her talent carried her into competitive dance, where she became the first kickline dancer on a team of gifted performers. Traveling awakened something in her — a hunger for new worlds, new people, new stages. And she rose to every opportunity, winning trophies, awards, and the admiration of those who witnessed her shine.

But Frida was never meant to be just one thing.

She built a second life as an entrepreneur, launching her own contracting business, A Chick and a Brush, in Ohio. As a single mother of two sons, she didn’t just raise them — she trained them, putting tools in their hands and work ethic in their bones. Accomplished and restless, she kept pushing for more.

Her journey eventually led her to New Orleans, a city as bold and colorful as she is. Working as wait staff, she crossed paths with producer Saint Anthony, who recognized her creative fire instantly. He challenged her to share her poetry — and in doing so, uncovered yet another layer of her artistry. Together, they shaped her voice, her sound, and her identity as Frida Calico, the Calico Pistol.

What began as a simple desire to create a song in support of her President turned into a flood of music. While others slept, Frida was writing, recording, and building her yellow‑brick‑road future one track at a time. Her debut moment came with the Rockin’ 1000, where she stepped into her entertainer era with the force of someone who had been preparing her whole life.

Frida Calico is not just an artist. 
She is a survivor, a creator, a mother, a builder, a dancer, a writer, a fighter — 
a woman who turned every mislabel, every hardship, every uprooting into ammunition.

And now that she’s fully loaded, the world is finally hearing her fire.
