Ricky Rebel Honored in the Entertainment Hall of Fame for His Contributions to Music, Fashion, and Entertainment
NATIONWIDE - MARCH 12 2025 - Ricky Rebel, a multifaceted artist known for his contributions to music, fashion, and entertainment, has been officially honored in the Entertainment Hall of Fame. This prestigious recognition celebrates his decades-long impact on the industry, highlighting his ability to innovate and redefine artistic expression. Ricky first rose to prominence in 1997 as the lead vocalist of No Authority, a pop group that toured with major artists such as 98 Degrees, Destiny’s Child, and Britney Spears. Signed to Michael Jackson’s MJJ Music label under Sony, the group’s debut album was produced by Rodney Jerkins. They later joined Madonna’s Maverick label, releasing a self-titled album that reached #18 on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart. Their hit single “Can I Get Your Number” peaked at #33 on the Billboard Top 40 chart, and their music was featured in Rugrats in Paris, solidifying their place in pop culture history. Following No Authority’s disbandment, Ricky continued his career as the lead singer of Harlow, releasing Unstoppable, an album produced by Grammy-winning Randy Cantor and engineered by Jay Baumgardner. His diverse talents also led to vocal contributions in films such as Apollo 13, Anywhere But Here, and Anastasia, as well as appearances in TV series including American Dreams and Boston Public. Reinventing himself as Ricky Rebel, he gained renewed momentum after appearing in My Chemical Romance’s music videos for “Na Na Na” and “Sing.” This propelled him into a solo career, with the release of Manipulator in 2012. The album’s standout tracks, including “Geisha Dance” and “Get It On,” earned recognition on MTV’s Good Vibes and spent ten weeks on the Mediabase Chart. In 2014, he followed up with The Blue Album, featuring remixes by renowned DJs such as Hector Fonseca, Casey Alva, and Tommy Love. The album’s lead single, “Boys & Sometimes Girls,” reached #28 on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart, further cementing his place as a dynamic force in the industry. His 2017 album, The New Alpha, continued his success, featuring the Billboard Top 40 hit “If You Were My Baby (Remixes),” with contributions from Tommie Sunshine and Hector Fonseca. The album received widespread acclaim, earning a spot on Louder Than War’s Top 75 Albums of 2017 and high praise from HuffPost, which described it as “explosive and compelling.” Beyond music, Ricky Rebel has made a lasting impact in fashion, known for his bold and avant-garde style. His work has led to collaborations with top brands, recognition as a fashion contributor for Us Weekly, and support from MAC Cosmetics. His ability to merge music and fashion has made him a standout figure in both industries. In 2023, his song “Time Will Tell” from Wild Reality was featured in the award-winning film Apocalypse Love, which won Best Animated Feature at the Golden State Film Festival. Expanding his international presence, he toured Japan with performances in Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe, and Tokyo while collaborating with the acclaimed TOKKOU Fashion House. His impact also extends to digital media, with Ricky Rebel signing with Revry TV, the world’s first LGBTQ+ streaming platform. His Revry Original documentary, Rebels Only, was nominated for Best Music Documentary at the Out Web Fest Awards, solidifying his presence in the entertainment industry. Now, with his official induction into the Entertainment Hall of Fame, Ricky Rebel’s contributions to music, fashion, and entertainment are recognized at the highest level.
