Founded in 1992 by North Philadelphia nativeRennie Harris, Rennie Harris Puremovement (RHPM) was conceived with the vision for sharing an appreciation for diversity and is dedicated to preserving and disseminating hip-hop culture through workshops, classes, lecture-demonstrations, dance residencies, mentoring programs and public performances.
Harris, a North Philadelphia native, founded RHPM based on the belief that hip-hop is the most important original expression of a new generation, with the unique ability to express universal themes that extend beyond racial, religious, and economic boundaries.
Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to enjoy an exciting career in the music business, singing and touring with artists and companies including Stevie Wonder, Def Leppard, Patti LaBelle, Christina Aguilera, Lee Ann Womack, Smokey Robinson, Jessica Simpson, Cirque du Soleil, Disney, and American Idol. I also write for The Huffington Post, Psychology Today, and Examiner.com on matters of creative expression.
While I love to sing, my true passion is helping others discover and develop their best voices.
