Personal life[edit]
Rett Wicker was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida and shortly after moved to Alpharetta, GA. His parents divorced at age 5 and his father went on to open up small music studios and venues. Through his exposure to all genres of music at his dad’s studios, he taught himself to sing and play guitar at age 11. He began writing poetry and songs in the 6th grade. At 15 he co-founded rock band Livication which eventually separated in 2013. He dropped out of school at age 15. He has struggled with anxiety and depression from a young age and went through several programs and rehabs for drug and alcohol addiction.
He currently lives in his hometown with his wife and 3 children.
Career[edit]
Wicker began performing in Jacksonville, Florida and Fort Myers, Florida. In 2016, when he was 20, Wicker released his first EP, Rough Sketch, which failed to reach any mainstream success.
