Elusive Canadian bass music producer and pioneer of her own lucrative sound, REZZ has been extremely private about her personal life since she broke into the music industry in 2015. The daughter of Iranian/Ukrainian parents and a member of the LGBTQ+ community, she has stayed largely out of the public eye while becoming comfortable and confident in her own skin. Recently she featured as a special guest on the She/Her/They Podcast with Kittens. Watch the full episode below
The episode is full of powerful stories, perspectives and lessons-learned. Rezz also opens up her family’s support when she came out to them, her loving/healthy relationship with her partner, knowing how to set boundaries (both personally and professionally), and the importance of taking care of yourself both mentally and physically.
“It’s rare that I speak this in depth about things publicly but after knowing Kittens for like 7 years, I feel it was a safe space to do so! I talk about one specific struggle that i experienced in early 2022 that I truly thought was the beginning of the end for me and the ways which I slowly overcame it!”

Overcoming a debilitating battle with insomnia in early 2022 (which she considers her greatest obstacle to date) inspired Rezz to go on the show and be more vulnerable and open up about her struggles than ever before. While on a grueling tour schedule, Rezz relied on prescription sleeping medication to the point where it stopped working completely, and a stretch of 6 days without sleep sent her to the hospital.
“Getting myself out of that negative spot that I was in was 3x more difficult than becoming successful,”
— REZZ
We here at EDMTunes are grateful for REZZ’s openness and vulnerability. It’s refreshing to hear an artist open up about their struggles and it lets the outside world empathize and also helps other out there struggling know that they are not alone.
