Versa Library

Growing up in South Atlanta, Adrienne Reeves found herself doing everything under the sun, from playing sports like basketball and softball to playing the trumpet in the band and performing in talent shows. Adrienne quickly learned she couldn’t sing to save her life, so she had to pivot into something more fitting.

Her parents supported her along the way and instilled passion, determination, and the willingness to never give up. Her mother, Tanya Reeves, a teacher, taught Adrienne and her brother discipline and the importance of education. Her dad, Adrian Reeves, an entrepreneur, inspired Adrienne to be free and be her own boss. With that combination from her parents came Adrienne’s sense of intelligence and a hard-working mindset.

Growing up with her twin brother, DeMariee, Adrienne naturally found her own identity. Upon graduating high school, she was awarded the Gates Millennium Scholarship and later attended Georgia State University on a full academic scholarship. There she found a new love for marketing and learned all about advertising, market research, marketing metrics, and other business courses. She also developed interests in writing, theater acting, going to concerts, and selling CD’s composed of custom playlists.

At Georgia State, Adrienne actively pursued her modeling career. She would land an internship with Radio One, which propelled her into a career as a music executive. She has developed brands such as Radio One, Means Street Studios, and the publishing company, StreamCut.

As an intern in the music industry, she has worked with DJ Drama, Killumantii, Latto, Ann Marie, K Camp, Baby Fendi, Cliff Vmir, and more.

Today, Andrienne is the face of Versa Library, a company she built on her own. “We are a music library that produces music of all genres for film and television. Our collective consists of independent songwriters and producers from all over the country,” she says.

Versa Library boasts a team of versatile songwriters and producers who work directly with music supervisors and production companies to create music. This music is generally synced to picture for a variety of films, television shows, commercials, and video games. Adrienne says, “We work with a unique and exclusive group of independent and versatile creatives. We are known for working on the popular reality series Zeus Network’s “Baddies”. We’ve also worked on shows such as VH1’s “Love and Hip-Hop Atlanta,” ABC’s “The Rookie Feds”, and SoundCloud “First on SoundCloud.”

Versa Library started in 2020 during the Covid 19 pandemic. Adrienne had left her full-time job to pursue entrepreneurship. After some time in solitude, she felt it was a God-sent idea to launch Versa with the intent of helping artists and producers land placements in film and TV.

Adrienne says she loves seeing where an artist started and watching them achieve goals they never imagined. “Moving with purpose is my goal every day, so it’s always rewarding to have an idea and bring it to life with the help of other creatives who also share a similar vision. The most humbling moment is when someone shares with me how I was able to change their life by just being kind or sharing knowledge.”

Adrienne says those who came before her and pushed the needle of revolutionizing the sound of music have inspired her. These are artists such as Missy Elliott, Timbaland, and Pharrell. “These individuals pioneered a new wave, and everyone else followed. Being a part of the new generation and having a tremendous influence on culture - from music, fashion, to film - inspires me.”

Adrienne says her journey has been anything but smooth. She describes moments when she didn’t feel valued and appreciated. She also says the best decision she made was focusing on building genuine relationships. “Sometimes those you want to be in your circle are the very people who can’t go with you. If you can accept that, then all will be ok. There are also those who are loyal, communicative, trusting, and have the same vision as you. Those are the people I want to work with. I’m grateful to have a team who loves what they do and are committed to making history.”

Moving forward, Adrienne says that Versa will produce music for major motion pictures. She also says that writing music for characters to sing on camera and creating music from scratch are all on her team’s “to-do” list. Additionally, Versa will publish our first book in 2024, combined with original content such as tv shows and films to live on major platforms.
