The former West High School student is proud he’s managed to make a living in what he loves, mixing performing with podcasting, event promotion, shooting music videos and creating graphics. “I’ve been self-sustaining off of music for about 10 years now,” he said. It’s enabled him to raise two daughters, 10-year-old Isabella and two-year-old Zara, with partner Beatriz Chavez on a 10-acre property between West and Waco that he points out he bought with his income from rapping.
Choosing to misspell prescription so that his performing name would stand alone on a Google search is part of the hustle. At the same time, he’s known for collaborating with other rappers and performers, always open to helping those around him. “Good does go a long way,” he explained. “I want to see the most come out of everything.”
While he’s a familiar presence onstage at Rocky’s Roadhouse in Bellmead and more recently Brotherwell Brewing, the rapper said he spends a good amount of time driving to gigs and events in Dallas and Austin, due to a lack of rap or hip-hop venues in Waco.
Two years ago at this time, Bryce was preparing to perform as part of a Waco showcase at Austin’s South By Southwest Music Festival, only to see a COVID-19 lockdown close that opportunity. He’s spent much of last year making opportunities of his own with “This Is Change” the latest of those, although with SxSW returning to live performances this year, Bryce may see a second chance at the festival in the years ahead.
