Today we’d like to introduce you to Brett Hayes.
Hi Brett, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I’m a musician (Reas) who has been making underground rap music since 2015. I am part of music collective “Punko,” that I started in 2024 with my brother, Dirty Dev (musician/graphic/clothing). The group also consists of KILLTOMBSTONE (musician) and Rali (producer/engineer/graphic). I am also a Muay Thai fighter and have been training for about 2 years at this point, having my first smoker (unsanctioned fight) this past Thursday.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Some struggles consisted of: financial, mental/physical health, and drug addiction problems
Alright, so to wrap up, is there anything else you’d like to share with us?
Music has always helped, but Muay Thai is what got me to change my life entirely. I had gotten through drug addiction when I was younger, but was stuck in a bad spot mentally and physically. I was in and out of the hospital for health issues and at one point, spent some time in a mental hospital. Muay Thai has given me direction and drive, and has helped me change myself for the better in every way.
