What genre is Rene Laveau?
Mystical hip-hop and alternative rap — first-person, lineage-rooted writing wrapped in cosmic, cinematic production. The sound draws on Eastern Star and Freemasonry symbolism and the 3·6·9 numerology motif.
Where is Rene Laveau from?
Rene Laveau is based in Austin, Texas, and performs across Texas — including Empire Garage in Austin and Clayton's Beach Bar at South Padre Island.
How do I stream Animal by Rene Laveau?
Animal is available on UnitedMasters (unitedmasters.com/m/animal-46), Spotify, and Apple Music. Every streaming link is collected at renelaveau.com/music/animal.
What is HVN RTH?
HVN RTH ("Heaven Earth") is Rene Laveau's apparel line — "wearable mythology." Each drop is a limited-run, place-and-date-stamped piece released as a sigil, turning the audience into a literal congregation.
What is The Society of the Silver Line?
The Society of the Silver Line is Rene Laveau's open community and newsletter (the "Sacred Letter"). It reframes the Eastern Star and Freemasonry lineage as an inclusive, public space — "a new branch" open to anyone, with no relation to Masonry required.
What does 3·6·9 mean for Rene Laveau?
The 3·6·9 (III·VI·IX) is Rene Laveau's core numerology motif: three is lineage (where you came from), six is lookout (seeing the systems that watch you), and nine is liberation (becoming a maker rather than a describer). It echoes Nikola Tesla's fascination with the numbers.
How can I book Rene Laveau or send press inquiries?
