Born and raised in Louisiana, Rufus Pipes was destined to be a musician. With the diverse and cultural music scene in Louisiana, and a musical family to back him up - Rufus started singing at a young age. It didn't take long before people started to realize his unique talent. At the tender age of ten, Rufus joined his cousins in an all male R&B/Gospel group - the youngest of the four members. The group gained recognition by performing at church, weddings, family functions, and talent shows. This was the time that Rufus cultivated into a musician from the help of his older cousins, and learned to sing harmonies and lead vocals. By the time Rufus turned sixteen, he was offered a football scholarship to a high school in Arizona. Happily accepting, Rufus moved to the desert to pursue a football career. Still singing in choir, Rufus was uncertain whether to pursue music or football. As destiny always takes its course, music chose Rufus as he received a knee injury that would put him out of football for good. Realizing that music was what his soul desired, Rufus Pipes began writing his own songs and hooking up with local producers. Still today he is pushing to be an original artist which there are very few left in this world of music.
