VanVan began rapping at the age of two. Her father Reggie, noticed one day while watching Frozen, she was able to quickly memorize the songs which he thought was fascinating for a toddler. Being a school teacher, Reggie knew his daughter displayed a special talent so he began to use music as a tool to teach her at home. Little did he know his baby girl would take learning and music to another level, and shortly after become a social media superstar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We would rap about numbers, colors, her alphabet. And that’s how, through music, that’s how I was teaching her to learn,” her father said in a recent interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VanVan’s parents say music is something she loves right now but they will never push her to have a career in the music industry, as they know it can be grueling. Her mother, Kenya stated. “We want to make sure that we keep her innocent and make sure she stays her sweet little self.” Her dad runs her social media pages and often adds hashtags to his post to reflect the image her wants his daughter to embrace and be proud of as a young African American female. Some of the hashtags he uses are #prettygirl #brownskingirl #blackgirlmagic and #beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
