Garrett rapp biography

Garret Rapp grew up a shy child, and it wasn't until he discovered biking and Rockford BMX that his life changed. Like a wheel that spins, his story comes full circle. Hear how his confidence grew and eventually he developed his own voice as the lead singer for The Color Morale. See then how his voice has significantly impacted the Rockford BMX community at Searls Park as a volunteer announcer, and how he gives back at the track. Rockford BMX is not just your average homegrown track, this track hosts the Midwest Nationals, State Finals, and is well regarded in the Midwest. Internationally known, this track is a shining light of the best of what Rockford has to offer.

Michigan post-hardcore outfit Boy Becomes Hero is an incredibly unique project. Brought to life by Andrew Brittingham, Boy Becomes Hero is kicking off 2019 with the release of their debut album, Reverie, which features guest performances by Kurt Travis (Royal Coda, ex-Dance Gavin Dance), Garret Rapp (The Color Morale), Aaron Gillespie (Underoath, The Almost), Darina Kayuokova (Moqumentary) and Sam Kohl (ex-Sea in the Sky). Not only is Reverie a stunning collaboration between talented musicians, but it’s also a concept album that tells the story of a boy named Tsukuyo and his battle with the evil that has consumed his past, present and his future. An incredibly ambitious debut release, Reverie tells a story of hope and perseverance.

After battling addiction for 10+ years, Andrew became sober in early 2017. He had always struggled to find his place in the music world after bouncing around bands and finally had the clarity and inspiration to create the concept album he’d been dreaming of. Thus, Reverie was born.
