Richie Acevedo (formally known as Ace High) is the future of music. Hailing from the Eastside of Milwaukee, WI, Richie embodies the struggles, hope, triumph and peril of the 4th poorest city in the United States of America. As a buzzing hoop star Richie developed an uncanny competitive zeal to accomplish whatever he set his mind to and at the age of 21 despite the terrors of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars joined the United States Army.
During his Military service, Richie determined that he had a higher calling and began pursuing the "American Hip-Hop Dream". While stationed in Mannheim, Germany, he began his journey through the European club circuit opening for major American Hip-Hop acts including but not limited to, Rick Ross, Flo-Rida, Method Man and Redman, Fat Man Scoop and F.L.Y, quickly becoming a staple at Mannheim's hottest diskotek "The Orange Club" . After successfully paying dues in the Baden-Wuresburg region of Germany, Richie began to headline his own shows, one of which included tearing down the stage at the highly popular "Club Nexus" outside of Paris, France.
With new found success, Richie set his focus on the business side of the music industry and in the fall of 2009, (with guidance from Marvin Scott) founded Deck of Aces Music Group, LLC, an independent A&R. With the buzz growing and whispers from the German public about Richie becoming screams, a hurdle bigger than the music was forming. Richie would soon have to move back to the United States. The "DMV" to be exact.
