A widely accepted fact of life is that, "everything happens for a reason", the story of Andrew J Reis is no exception. Born and raised in Providence, Rhode Island, Andrew Reis (aka Ace Diamond) has lived more and persevered more at the age of 29 then most people go through in two lifetimes. The evolution of Andrew Reis into "Ace Diamond" is a story of triumph, a story of tragedy, but mostly of all it is a story of what can happen when life challenges all you know and understand.
As a young boy growing up on the South Side of Providence Drew, short for Andrew, was much like any other city kid. Drew ran the neighborhoods with his friends, played basketball, and saw more of the streets than any child should see. Luckily for Drew his brother and sisters were around to watch over him and eventually peak his interest in music. Little did he know music would be the key to surviving the tough streets of South Providence and eventually the way in which he would deal with the trials of an unpredictable life.
Living in a single parent household with 1 brother and 3 sisters things were not easy to say the very least for Drew. The absence of his father forced Drew to turn to many different male figures for guidance in his early years. From his step father to friend's fathers to "street dudes", many people played a role in looking out for Andrew Reis as a young man. Whether they were good or bad influences, Drew believes that they all played a role in making him the man that he has
