T-REV
Founder and CEO of YJB Records.
With his heavily tattooed face and gold chains Swansea-based artist T-REV looks in many ways like your typical rapper. But clutched inside his inked hands you’ll never find a lit cigarette or a bottle of whiskey as you might expect – it’ll always be a hot cup of coffee.
It hasn’t always been this way for the 32-year-old who has spent much of his life consumed by an addiction to drugs and alcohol. He is in no doubt that if he didn’t sober up four years ago right now he would be dead.
Having completely turned his life around it’s easy to assume that T-REV is now living his happily ever after but the dad-of-one is adamant that he will always be a work in progress. While he navigates his sobriety he also faces grief and serious mental health challenges.
Using music as his therapy T-REV – whose real name is James Davies – has made it his life purpose to help others through doing what he is most passionate about. He hopes sharing his story will help others feel less alone and encourage them that sobriety is possible however impossible it feels.
