As an only child in the latch-key era of the 80’s, much of Ceita’s childhood was spent alone, where his interest became enveloped in the visual, musical and literary arts. A radio, cassette tapes and classic hip-hop music became the backdrop of his inspiration. He began drawing at the age of 3, laying the foundation for his eventual collegiate and career path as a graphic designer; along the way he discovered an immense affinity for words, which was cultivated by years of spelling bees, word games and local Scrabble competitions. Becoming a wordsmith was a natural progression that eventually culminated in a full-circle moment: appearing as a contestant on world renown television game show Wheel of Fortune, where he won the game and made history as the first rapper to perform on a syndicated game show.

 

As a hip-hop artist and performer, Ceita made noteworthy traction over the span of 2 decades recording and performing original music under the artist moniker "BIGREC". Described as an elite lyricist with a commanding stage presence, BIGREC became a staple in Tulsa, Oklahoma and eventually made a definitive mark in the Atlanta, Georgia music scene. His artistry, craftsmanship and commitment to the culture of hip-hop birthed  a grassroots movement, REALHIPHOPISBACK (RHHIB) with a mission to bridge the generational gap between youth and elders, He released several mixtapes and albums under his music imprint RHHIB Enterprises, the most notable being a joint venture with Dymond Mine Records, founded by legendary Grammy award-winning artist/producer Diamond D ,

To say the least, utilizing his vocal gift to inspire, educate and entertain 'Semply' comes naturally.

After years of both corporate and freelance design experience, Ceita, along with his incredibly beautiful, gifted and well-accomplished wife Jalila--who has an extensive resume in marketing, counseling and consulting--chose to forge a path of generational entrepreneurship to set their family up for life and establish The Bobb-Semple Legacy...hence, WEareUS umbrella was born. In 2018, they launched EYE35DESIGN, a creative solutions agency specializing in branding, graphic design, marketing and website development, where he serves as Chief Creative Officer.
