\nIt’s always fun to get an inside look at hot up and coming Christian music artists, and it’s even more fun to let them tell us about themselves. So I thought it would be fun to have B. Reith share a couple of insider tidbits for his growing fanbase:<\/p>\n


\n5 things you probably didn’t know about B. Reith, in his own words:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. I went to 3 different colleges in 5 years. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

2. In 3rd grade I had to dress up as Uncle Sam for a musical and sing “Yankee Doodle Dandy.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

3. One time when I was working at the YMCA I thought some girls were checking me out but they were really looking at the piece of toilet paper that was stuck the bottom of my shoe.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

4. I started playing drums in 8th and continued to play for my church worship team throughout high school.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

5. Fresh out of college my friends talked me into wearing a skin tight Spiderman costume and running down Main Street in a town called Cedarburg. It was fun until a cop pulled me over and told me I was disturbing the peace.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
