“It’s a song for all Americans. We are a nation of Rebels and we need to unify now more than ever. In the music video and song for ‘American Rebel,’ I wanted to express this feeling of being trapped that I believe all Americans are experiencing right now. We are trapped in our homes. We are trapped in our minds by the labels that we project onto ourselves and others which divides us and forces us to choose a “team.” No one likes to be labeled and be put in a box. This song expresses my mission to bring the right and left together. I have a little of both sides to my own personality, and in the end, we are ALL Americans. Realizing that and embracing the truth will ultimately heal hearts and set us free.” – Ricky Rebel
