Background

With his traditional birth name being, Rey Paul Rodriguez Rodriguez, a friend gave him the moniker "Rey Rey" so he would have two matching first names to match his two identical last names. After this friend passed away, Rodriguez embraced the moniker.[4] In Puerto Rico, the Rodriguez family moved frequently, it wasn't until he attended Miramar High School that he found his penchant for poetry and photography soon followed.[4] Rodriguez holds several undergraduate degrees, two Associate degrees, Emergency Medical Technology (EMT Paramedic) and Nursing Education. His Bachelor's degree is in Multimedia from Florida Atlantic University in 2012.Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag
