The name comes from the meaning of Hanif " true believer, he who believes." I feel you have to believe in yourself first before any one else will even entertain the thought. So when I look at myself I see BL'EVE the one person that has always believed in me 110%, me. My goal is to encourage people to believe in themselves and understand that we all have self worth, find it and own it, it's yours! (not like a preacher though.)

That  was Bl'eve's (Hanif Brown) response when asked about the origins of his name.

After being in the music industry for ten years helping others polish their work, Bl'eve is switching roles. This media connoisseur, is using the knowledge and skills that he has gained and is stepping out as a solo artist.

Bl'eve's numerous endeavors speaks volumes to his capability as an artist and only proves that he will be a solo artist to keep an eye on as "Short Thoughts" becomes prominent in the mainstream.
